Thank you Buster :)

Much appreciated!

Wow what an amazing deck! If I had to play up against this deck, unless my creatures have Hexproof I would be in a very difficult position! +1 from me and I love decks with a really good description and explain their strategies.

Thank you RCMetalhead! :)

Yeah Hexproof would be more tricky for me to deal with, I think since Hexproof+Enchant is starting to make appearances in FNMs, I could start playtesting against it and update my sideboarding instructions against it :P

I'm thinking Lifebane Zombie in because most hexproof creatures are green, the peek at the hand will help me decide on which enchantment to keep my Abrupt Decay for

Any thoughts?

You're welcome! You took the time to check out my deck so I wanted to repay the favor =)

Yes I would definitely mainboard 4x Lifebane Zombie in a Selesnya Hexproof/Enchantment deck because that card is one creature that every Selesnya deck hates to see. I also agree with saving the Abrupt Decay on an Unflinching Courage or Ethereal Armor , or even possibly Alpha Authority if they have any non-Hexproof creatures if you're tapped out and/or do not have any kill spells in hand.

Great deck, I would love to run my list against it.

Junk Hexproof

Thank you Absentia!

Right on time as well since I was going to playtest against hexproofs :)

Will be on it soon as there's a bit of spare time, thank you!

I like the deck, and I really think that Necra is really strong. I was a shame that a G/B temple didnt come out in BNG but its not the end of the world. This is the deck that Ive been testing at the moment, which has been performing very well and may be worth a look. Ive got a breakdown of the deck as well if you have time to flick through, but your deck is similar to mine so thought Id throw my deck over to you before I start commenting or recommending card ideas etc.

Necra Resurgence

S.F.

I imagine it being a pain in the ass to constantly get GG, WW, BB, GW on T3 with only 4 Scry-lands, 23 lands total and no Sylvan Caryatid . I think the deck is strong if it works out right. But to me it looks way too inconsistent...

Honestly, I've never encountered problems - at times I do have to wait a turn or two before I can cast say, a fiendslayer. However, in those turns I will have other cards in hand I could cast that are relevant, in fact I've not really had a game where any card became irrelevant.

An overgrown tomb, a temple garden, and a godless shrine on board means i can cast any cards.

I prefer shocklands than scry lands, but you could have 4 temple of silence in place of godless shrines.

If I do start to encounter mana problems (most like post sideboard), I will keep in mind the Caryatids :)

Thank you for the comment and your time! Let me know if there is a deck you'd like me to look at :)

@Putrefy After your constructive criticism and discussion with Samuel-Frederick, I have swapped 2 Golgari Guildgate with 2 Temple of Silence , and swapped my single plains and swamp with 2 forests to counteract the change. Thanks guys :) will update how it goes

Playtest against my White Aggro splash Red deck.

+1

@Kaenon Thank you for the vote :)I have done one playtest, as always - I apologise in advance in case I made any plays that you wouldn't have made but I always try to make the best move possible for the deck I pilot and I hope you're satisfied with the way I piloted your deck :)

Just head over to Anti-Meta deck playtesting to see the round by round report!

I was just reading through your sideboard strategies and i noticed that out of all of your matchups, there was only 2 decks where you didn't side in the extra abrupt decay. And on those matchups, you didn't side out the other 3. So at least 80% of the time, it seems like you want the playset. Wouldn't that warrant playing all 4 main? A card like abrupt decay isn't going to hurt you much if you draw one too many, but the benefit of having all 4 against what seems to be almost all of the decks you've described would outweigh the costs would it not?

Pre-Warning: interesting wall of text imminent.

@SuperSkene, excellent observation! That is correct, but if I want the playset in then I would swap one Fiendslayer out for it. However, this throws my creature count down to 17 which is not ideal.

The other option is to run 61 cards, which wouldn't really hurt too much but it somewhat mess with my opening hand.

So that said, we know we don't want to take creature out. How about non-creature?

Thoughtseize I believe should be played as a set in, or a set out so we aren't touching one unless we grope them all.

Downfall is only sideboarded out once as a set, and that is against a deck less commonly played at the moment.

Realistically, Selesnya Charm's three modes can be played against any match ups, we only sideboard them out because sometimes we have better options once we know what our opponent is.

And so the real reason is this:

We do want a playset of Decay, but we don't know what to side out for the last copy before we know our opponent, so we settle for three.

The Pre-Sideboard form of the deck is guaranteed (very high chance) to let you see as much cards out of your opponent. This lets you fix up for a much stronger Post-Sideboard game.

Thank you so much for spending the time to read through (and I'm sorry this is a wall of text)

For your time, I will have a look at one of your decks soon as I can :)

Also please let me know if you have any other thoughts about the sideboarding! Or if you still think I should have playset Decay in main, let me know which card you think I should swap for it and I will give it a shot :)

Play test me...

I'd consider 2x Bile Blight or possibly Drown in Sorrow . Great for them Pack Rat s or if you're running a little slow against a faster deck.

You have zero answers for flyers, I strongly recommend to add 2-3x Plummet to your sideboard so that you can insure to kill either Stormbreath Dragon or Nightveil Specter .

Other than that the deck looks solid.

I almost forgot, Celestial Flare is another good removal spell, especially since you are running white. Or, Brave the Elements because it is broken and will usually always get you the win.

Uhh? Jund removal??? o.O

Jund Removal

@DodgeNDive,how about removing a single Unflinching Courage? I know this card can be absolutely bonkers, especially against an aggro matchup. However, drawing multiples aren't fantastic because every aura just increases the worth of your opponents Verdicts.I may be a tad biased, I hate getting 2-for-1ed. I would definitely play 3-4 across the boards,but there's just too much good removal played now for a playset of auras to be viable i don't think. Great against mono blue or red, but they are extremely risky vs. mono black or control. Again, just an opinion. I much prefer keeping my opponent under control rather than just crossing my fingers that he doesn't have removal

@Calavon soon as i get the time, i will playtest your control deck :)

@Prehcise faster decks tends to run predominantly 2 drops, which Abrupt Decay takes. Many of them are also 2 toughness, meaning Selesnya Charm can trade for. I also have the unflinching courage to restabilise til they run out of steam. Have not had trouble with those but at the same time i have not looked at those cards properly, so thank you for bringing them to my attention :)

@satchattack Stormbreath is the only flyer that gives me any threat. Nightveil in MBD can take Downfall or Decay. Nightveil in MUD have Skylasher to perma block. DDemon takes Selesnya Charm and Downfall. Stormbreath is more problematic because it only take Downfall and nothing else, unless i bait them to block a witchstalker and I selesnya charm +2/+2 trample. The hard part is having an answer that won't reduce the efficiency of the deck against other decks.

@DeckinPro I will playtest when I can, you're on a queue though :P

@SuperSkene The key is where you throw the aura on, I'm yet to be 2 for 1'd in my games other than by verdicts. You have witchstalker which is always a safe bet, fiendslayer is good too, and after you thoughtseize, you'll know when to throw one on a smiter. Against control, creature based decks will always find difficulty, and i would get 2 for 1'd by verdict, but Sin Collector trades for 2 for 1 to try and get value back or forces them to counter it. However, I will give it a shot. The thing is i'm hardly saddened seeing multiple unflinching courages, whereas decay are sometimes unwelcomed when they only have 4+ CMC.

This is definitely one of the best decks I've seen on TO in a while. It's very well built and seems really fun to play. +1 from me :)

Play tested our main decks w/o side and I won 3 straight games then lost one to a horrible start of wrong Mana... games were long and one time you just scooped after my sphinx, sphinx, elixir, sphinx for 13... with aetherling the only permanent on the board....

I would drop some lands.. you flood easily at a 3 curve...
