Last minute Cards i want to make room for —July 30, 2017
So less than a week til the GP, My friend is playing RDW so I can get tons of reps in vs that deck which means i can get real card evaluations for that match up. This likely means me removing my anti-control package in the sideboard.
Additions for the RDW Match up:
2x Grasp of darkness
2x Collective brutality
Cuts: 2x fevered visions
1x sphinx of the final word
1x transgress
Reasons for grasp and collective:
Grasp:
Pros: Kills hazoret, nstant for gearhulk, 2 cmc, can make combat favorable for our other creatures
Cons: double black, dead vs control
Collective Brutality:
Pros: Versatile, 2 cmc, single black, kills most of the creatures in RDW and zombies (pre lord), lifegain can be relevant, duress for instant and sorceries can also be relevant.
Cons: Sorcery speed, can't be flashed back, discarding a card is mildly counter intuitive for a control deck trying to out attrition its opponent
