Sideboard


Before I go any further, I'd like to point out that I'm not interested in winning by hitting their life total. I'll do it with the Aberration if it's my only option, but the fun is to win by milling. Because of that, cards like Ashiok and Nightveil Specter, which are great cards and would probably work well, aren't cards I want to use.

That said, the basic idea is to interrupt the opponents ability to hurt me by using Thoughtseize, counters, removal and walls for the early game. Maybe pop a Tome Scour if I have some spare mana. All of this will fill up the grave and by turn 5, I'll play an Abberation if I have it to make an intimidating board presence. Turn 6, I'll play Phenax and go to town. If I don't have Aberration by turn 5, I'll play Phenax or Jace, depending on how many walls I have. Crypt Incursion is there to keep me alive and it does a pretty good job of it.

I'm wondering what exactly to fill the sideboard with. Dark Betrayal is just awesome against mono black, Gainsay is for mono blue, or azorius control. Mirko Vosk and Mind Grind are there since Deicide will soon be a thing and I need more direct mill if I'm unable to utilize Phenax. Triton Tactics and Dimir Charm are cards I honestly wish were in the mainboard, but I don't know what I'd take out. I'm also considering Aetherize for when the board gets too full to kill/wall things. Also, should I put more walls in this?

Please help!
