FNMFun-Thoughts on a Modern deck?

FNMFun-Thoughts on a Modern Deck?

with Robert Blum

Happy Weekend Everyone! With Friday quickly approaching we are all preparing for our first M15 legal FNM. Since last week was pre-release weekend and M15 will go live tomorrow I didn't want to give you a standard deck that may not be good in the new meta. So, with that being said I know a lot of stores are starting to run Modern events on Fridays as well. This week I decided to give you a new list that I found while scouring the internet and magic decks this week.

The Deck name is G/R Devotion and it was designed by MTGO user ‘Yamada’. The deck, finished 10th online for a MTGO premier event in modern.

Let's take a look at the featured list....

FNMFun- Updating from Florida!


FNM Fun

with Robert Blum



Hey everyone, so it's been a crazy couple of weeks for me I have been working, traveling for work and working some more. I did however get to have an awesome experience last week for FNM.


I was traveling for business in the Ft. Lauderdale, FL area and had my Friday night free. I decided to stuff a deck in my suitcase since I was going to be all alone and free Friday night. I did some research and found that cool stuff inc. Had a huge store about 15 minutes from where I was staying.


I swing in and found the store absolutely packed at 5pm. After talking to the employees I found out the store drafts all day long on Fridays from open till close as many pods of 8 as they can fill.


I asked about FNM and was told it started at 7 and that it was $5 to enter. I also asked about prize support and was told top four split the promos and first gets a box, 2nd-4th split a second box 18, 9 & 9. I was also told everyone else from 9th-16th gets 5 packs.

FNM Fun! Fire & Ice



FNM FUN - FIRE & ICE

With Robert Blum



Welcome back for article number 3. This week I took a pretty successful deck in mono red devotion and tweaked it to add a splash of blue. My shop is pretty notorious for esper builds and guys running blood baron so I wanted to have an answer. This deck proved to be way more fun then I ever imagined and did some really crazy things in game. Well without further ado lets check out the list.

FNM Fun! -Launching a Thaumaturge

Hey everyone welcome back for week #2 in my FNM article series. First, I want to thank everyone for all the positive responses to last weeks article. It's nice to know that everyone appreciates a more fun view on competitive decks! I have a buddy I play with who's favorite quote is "It's all about the fun factor" and you know what I think he's right. A lot of the time we get caught up in the competitive nature of this game and we all forget why we originally started playing. Because it was fun!

FNM Fun! -Dega Humans

FNM FUN  - by Robert Blum
Hey everyone, welcome to my first article here on the BoltSnapBolt page. My weekly articles are going to focus around some unique and sometimes even off the wall FNM decks and then I'll be asking you guys for your opinions on how to make these decks more competitive in nature. Let me preface this by saying most if these decks won't be my builds however, as one of the more competitive players in my local store I do get asked for my input pretty regularly. I hope you guys enjoy this look into testing some unique builds. So with-out further ado let's take a look at our first deck.
