Sideboard


This deck is part of a trilogy exploring the "Rock" archetype:

All those are based on this core description of the BG archetype:

deck-large:rock-base

Please read it before going further.

What does has to offer to this archetype?

  • Snapcaster Mage is one of the best card in Modern. Allowing instant speed selective flashback to either your removals or disruption spells alongside a beater is huge. Snapy also synergizes very well with Grim Flayer and both Lilis.

  • Thought Scour is a great filtering tool while fueling the graveyard. It's a great turn one play and allows to play Tasigur, the Golden Fang or Gurmag Angler much faster (as early as turn 2) and with much more reliability.

  • Remand is not a counter but an excellent tempo card, giving more rooms for the beaters to pressure the opponent while cycling and fueling the graveyard.

  • is not a strong color when it comes to sideboard. The best options here is countermagic, in the form of Dispel and Countersquall .
