mainboard and sideboard changes —Dec. 22, 2014

put gifts back into main deck. taigam was good, but it would mostly be used to filter 5 yards deep into the deck. Gifts gives me combo potential immediately.

sideboard changes. added a few things to combat affinity, control. might need to add graveyard hate for the potential mirror / pod lists.

Been a whole since i looked at all the other Cannon lists, I just recently made the decision to add Narset, and I see that you have as well. I have not officially playtested with her yet, just trying to crunch some numbers, seeing if a forth is needed and so on. How is she working out for you?

Through the Breach seems more neccessary now than it did before in my opinion.

narset has been awesome. Through the Breach is definitely better now, for flipping with narset, then dropping Griselbrand, newest variant of my deck has a 10-2 record so far. both losses coming to bad draws against affinity

Maybe add another Through the Breach in sideboard for if your opponent brings in graveyard hate?

3 is more than enough. Thanks for the tip though

It's a really small thing, I think the deck isn't going to get much better without changing archetypes altogether (aka Gifts Ungiven deck), but I KNOW that is not what you want to do.

The small change is just a Tormenting Voice for Izzet Charm just to bump that up to 4. I know the trade offs and I was running through them, if it was even worth mentioning, you're essentially taking out Lightning Axe for T.Voice, but the counter on Charm is really difficult to ignore. I like the place where your deck is, I respect it, and I hope you go to a modern event soon :D

Thanks dorotheus. The deck has served me very well in fnm style events. Im hoping for a large scale modern event on the west coast soon, would love to take grisel cannon and get on camera. Lol I even bought an oversized foil version for that very moment. Style points matter

I'd say rather than Pact of Negation put in Not of This World. It counters spells that target grisy.

Pact protects the combo if I have it in hand in case they stop goryo, or I can protect Grisel from being removed. Not of This World only protects grisel and has 2 more cmc otherwise

what is the Ajani Vengeant in the sideboard for?

I'm trying him out, might replace with Elspeth, just serving as another wincon that can be triggered off narset

Yeah, and I got that part, but what decks do you bring him in against? I don't see what he really adds to the deck other than being a solid card.

(also, any chance you could write out a sideboard guide for some of the popular matchups?)
