Topic: [Standard] [Opinions] Akroan Heroic

I might go to my first Friday Night Magic event (I've only played casually so far), and I'm guessing that this deck could be improved, so I'm wondering if someone could give me suggestions for modifications I could make using cards from my collection, and I'd also like to know what kinds of cards I should put in its sideboard.

Or would some standard legal version of one of these decks be better?

Also, is there anything that I should know about FNMs?

So the suggestion I often will make to newer players is that it might be worthwhile to first go 'scout' your local FNM before you go to play in it.  The reason for this being, it makes sense to see how competitive the environment is before you dive right in.  Admittedly as a newer player you probably should expect to lose quite a bit (we all have to learn at some point), but if your FNM is populated by super competitive players who are just running the tier 1 net-decks, well, it just isn't going to be as much fun to play (regardless of whether you're winning or losing).

I'll take a closer look at the deck ideas on Friday and will hopefully be able to give you some feedback on what would make them run more smoothly.

OK, thanks.

I suggest going more heavy towards white for the current deck. I suggest adding lightning strikes in the deck, it provides removal and can provide that last bit of damage to a player, or keep a planeswalker down on loyalty counters
