Been following the Ixalan previews and I'm building this deck list for when the set is released

---

I'm not adding a sideboard to this deck list right now, because that depends on your LGS and what is played (and because the standard meta will be different after rotation), but I can give suggestions for sideboard against some decks. I'll add these cards to maybeboard

Lost Legacy is a pretty good sideboard card. Can screw up any deck (except artifact decks, so if you play against good artifact decks, replace with Dispossesses)

UG Merfolk is looking pretty scary from the Ixalan previews, so that will probably need a bit of attention, so maybe Fatal Push and a few boardwipes like Hour of Devastation and Bontu's Last Reckoning

BW/Mono Black zombies will probably die down after rotation so that frees some sideboard space for other decks about that (even if zombies stay as a top tier deck, Deadeye Tracker is pretty decent for graveyard hate)

Mono red is a bit of a pain right now (especially with Earthshaker Khenra, Chandra, Torch of Defiance and Glorybringer), so a few Chandra's Defeats would be pretty helpful

If you play against God's a lot, either Vraska's Contempt or Hour of Glory can be used

Unfortunately I can't think of anything to use against Blue mill decks, so if anyone has any ideas, I am more than happy to hear them, because mill is a problem for me at my LGS.
