Sideboard


Based partially off of the spine of modern Affinity and BGX counters. First few turns will be very easy. Don't be afraid to get a little greedy with playing repeated Oaths. Do keep in mind that Oath of Nissa doesn't allow you to grab Fatal Push and Blossoming Defense. Unless you already have them or the board state doesn't demand either spell, be more conservative on using Oaths and use the cantrips if you have them.

My favourite synergy in my list is Walking Ballista+Fatal Push in nearly any combination, your opponent's board goes poof. The greatest part about this is 2 of 3 cards are instants. Don't be afraid to just cast Ballista for 0 if it means enabling Revolt.

The optimal play is T1 renegade map and land.T2 sac map during upkeep, find either a plains or forest, draw then play land for turn, Scrapheap or any 2cmc artifact. If you can drop even two cards this way, you're opponent is usually still trying to set up their board. This can work also if you played a Renegade Map turn 1 then on turn 2 crack map before upkeep to tutor for either a Plains or a Forest optimally for an Oath of Ajani. The more you drop Ornithopters before dropping Oath of Ajani or Nissa the better. Another great t1 play is either Plains, Inspiring Vantage or Spire of Industry then Ornithopter, then Toolcraft Exemplar. I have also seen t2 follow up with an Oath of Ajani and swing in for 4 minimum that turn. Holdout Settlement and Ornithopter is great for turn 1 plays as well.

ProTip: Casting Walking Ballista for 0 will enable Revolt.

ProTip: Activating Bomat's ability in response to your own Fatal Push while holding priority will enable revolt.

Don't hesitate to take mulligans if your hands can't get you a good start. We want to try to keep a hand that plays something turn one or at the very least follow up into turn two. Lupine Prototype loves mulligans.

Do keep in mind this deck performs at its best when you can trigger revolt as often as you can. When in doubt, attack first and do not be afraid to trade your creature for an opponent's creature in combat if it can mean achieving revolt with little effort on your end. The key is to constantly be able to play creatures back to back from the start of the game.

While the artifacts will show up enough for Spire of Industry to be online, you are probably going to sacrifice them at some point. When you need specific coloured mana(if Spire happens to be one of the sources you need it from and you only have one artifact online), store a mana before you sacrifice your artifact.
