Sideboard


Ever done so much stuff you're opponent couldn't hope to keep up? Ever wanted to blast 10+ damage to the face on a regular basis? Better yet, without your opponent ever expecting it??? This deck does that, and more.

Fairly stock G/b devotion deck that has shown itself in force, however I have had such good experiences with Crater's Claws at ending a game on the spot that it has earned its place along with a singleton Mountain in this deck. Some quick notes on cards you may be wondering about:

THREE Hornet Queen : It's always good. Always. I cannot tell you the number of games I was losing badly, only to peel a Queen and instantly swing the game back into my favor and win. It blocks everything, gets under/over Elspeth, and is bad news for removal, it really does it all!

TWO Crater's Claws : As I said before, this cards is uber bonkers. In this format you often find yourself with a huge field bogged down on both sides and both players just trying to peel enough advantage to swing. This card on a big board wins. It wins so big. And if it doesn't win you the game, it'll take out a Goblin Rabblemaster, a seige rhino, whatever else you need to clear the way. The best part?? Your opponent will never see it coming!!! You're a G/b deck right? They know that list, plan around that, only to get completely blown out by this ballsy piece of tech! With 4 Sylvan Caryatid, 4 Wooded Foothills, and that one lonely Mountain I have never had a problem firing this beauty off.

TWO See the Unwritten and THREE Genesis Hyrda: While See the Unwritten is arguably one of the most powerful cards in this deck, I just couldn't bear to pack the full 4-of at six mana, especially not at the cost of the versatile tool that Genesis Hydra can be throughout each stage of the game.

Feel free to ask about any other card choices, and don't forget to leave a +1 if you love to overwhelm and burn your opponents!

Took out 2 Bile Blight SB for 1 more Thoughtseize and 1 In Garruk's Wake. Switched 1 Eidolon of Blossoms for 1 more See the Unwritten MB. Should be better against Abzan now.

Also removed 1 Voyaging Satyr for 1 Arbor Colossus main to help against fliers, primarily a faster answer to Mantis Rider. Satyr seems not be be played on curve often and is more of a win-more. I'd rather diversify. Keeping the other 2 colossus SB for the time being
