Mixing up the deck for FNM

[nikicole]

Friday I had my third go at FNM and I feel like I am starting to do a little better. I usually go 1-4 for the night but this last week 2 of the 4 losses made it to the 3rd round and I was actually 3 life away from winning a game before time ran out. Here is my current deck but I am wondering what to do to change it up.

Main Deck
Creatures:
4x Putrid Leech
3x Shriekmaw
1x Creakwood Liege
2x Lord of Extinction
4x Llanowar Elves
3x Civic Wayfinder
4x Wren's Run Vanquisher
4x Imperious Perfect
3x Bloodbraid Elf
(18 elves+ 10 other creatures)

Spells:
1x Thoughtseize
3x Nameless Inversion
2x Bituminous Blast
4x Terror
(10 spells)

Lands:
5x forest
5x Swamp
1x mountain
3x treetop village
6x painlands
1x gilt-leaf Palace
1x Firelit Thicket

Sideboard:
3x Fulminator Mage
Puppeteer Clique
Snakeform
2x Infest
Soul Snuffers
Loxodon warhammer
Lightning Reaver
Head Games
2x Natural spring
2x Naturalize

Now my BF got some cards on craigslist and I went through ad found a few that would probably be helpful. I saw 5 that I was thinking about adding in somewhere. Should anything go in? What should come out?

1. Birds of Paradise- faster than civic wayfinder for getting an odd color I need
2. Prowess of the fair- essentially elf replacement,+ Nameless Inversion= free elf?
3. Wilt-Leaf Liege- 1GGG is harder for me to do but hopefully discard or cascade into it?
4. wilt-Leaf Cavalier- bigger elf guy
5. Cloudthresher- Something to block flyers and helps kill on intro too.
6. Shimmering Grotto- maybe help fix mana w/o painlands

I like a good elf-burn deck!

You're right about the Birds of Paradise. I'd swap out all three Civic Wayfinders and replace them with BOPs, if you have them.

I would at least find room for Cloudthresher in your sideboard. A deck with lots of flyers will kill you quickly.

Sadly I only have the one :(
I wish I had more time in the week and people to playtest with. I think the card Mercy Killing could be really fun with the two Lord of Extinctions I have in the deck but it might be too slow.
