Sideboard


This is a deck I've been working on for a while. At my 3rd ever FNM yesterday it came 1st only dropping a game to a bad keep vs UW Flash (2-0 vs GB Delirium, 2-0 vs UB Control, 2-1 vs UW Flash). The idea behind the deck is ramp and stall the game a bit aiming to get the Brisela meld on turn 6 (perfect draw can get it turn 5). The deck itself is fairly uninteractive and linear in its base form but it is a lot of fun.

I have considered adding Archangel Avacyn and Rhonas the Indomitable but they're exensive and I don't see either of them justifying their cost.

Sideboarding:Vs control: Out: 1x Gisela, 2x Stasis Snare, 1x Thalia, 1x Cast Out In: 1x Sigarda, 1x Linvala, 2x Heroic Intervention, 1x Ulvenwald Mysteries - Extra draw, more Lancers targets and hexproof

(Beyond control I don't really have planned out sideboarding. Control is potentially this deck's worst matchup which is why I'm prepared for it)

3-0 (2nd overall because opponent's win rate) 2-0 vs RW Humans 2-0 vs BW Zombies 2-1 vs RG Pummeler (I lost game 2 because I was memeing and played Bruna T4 instead of a good play and lost because of it. 8 mana T4 and I felt like showing off)

In game 2 vs RW humans I triggered the meld T5 and it was incredibly oppressive (T1: Thraben, T2: Channeler Initiate, T3: Gisela, T4: Rishkar (Counters on Thraben and Gisela) held back blockers then end step sac'ed the clue with Rishkar mana, T5: Bruna + meld)

I added Crook of Condemnation into the sideboard for Zombies because there was space and I had it. Overwhelming Splendor added to Sideboard for BG grind matchup.

Before the next time I take it anywhere I want to test is moving a Gisela to the side (removing Trueheart Duelist) and mainboarding Archangel Avacyn. It is nice to keep Gisela alive for the meld but the flip could really hurt and I want to see how much removing a Gisela hurts the consistency of the meld
