Sideboard


I would like to make a shoutout that sand gentlemen from kamigawa who doesn't let you untap lands for not making it into the 75 due to not actually having a place in the SB. deck is already favored against control lists (could make an exception for miracles i guess.)

was running a Delay and curious obsession as fill ins until the lord came out, deck still performed very well (4-0 2-1 3-1 record in events before new lord) Since adding the new lord played in two modern events on the same day 3-0ing both events beating elves, faries, storm, some janky early harvest combo deck, mono red burn, and GW company.

I decided on using aether vial over the green splash for Collected Company/mana dork plan for several reasons. I am not trying to say that version is bad deck, it just seems to me this is an optimal version.

The deck needs to be able to hit maximum DUDE in play in order to stand a chance racing certain decks and aether vial lets us drop our hand much faster than just a dork and faster than CoCo.

CoCo seems to be a card thats just good at beating 1 for 1 removal, which the deck already beats.

Moorland haunt is sweet when playing 8 creatures that sacrifice themselves. overall the manabase is pretty strong, it would be better to run sea chrome coast instead.

Being able to decide exactly what you are able to put into play from vial really increases the options the deck already provides. Vial in selfless spirit exactly when you need him, vial in a spell Queller rather than responding to opponents cards and hoping an answer finds its way to you.

In the CoCo variant phantasmal image is a much weaker card due to not being able to copy the same thing it would be entering with. Having to make a decision on what to play around from you opponents can lead to mistakes, or the opponent now with a greater understanding of what must be done to the board state.

With vial image becomes absolutely bonkers. Image copying drogskull Captain makes both lords hexproof, negating the downside of image to begin with being able to Copy spell queller reliably at instant speed is quite bonkers Copying rattlechains at instant speed allows to even further negate removal spells. Getting additional selfless spirits is pretty decent.

Eidolon of Rhetoric is straight up my favorite card in the deck, let alone sideboard. it shuts down so many combo decks and its so easy to protect.

If you actually read all this thanks, feel free to leave any questions / recommendations
