so only recently did i discover Choke was modern legal and i thought. why dont people play this in sideboards when they dont play Island ? shocks are still Island s for the most part and theres alot of decks running heavy blue.
personally i was thinking as a 1 of in infect versus controll heavy blue decks. thoughts?
APPLE01DOJ wow never knew that card existed. think i should board it in alongside my 1 of choke versus bird decks?

it really depends what your FNM is like. depending on which specific blue decks you're playing against, there might just be better options.

Now for a midrange green deck sure choke can buy goyf the time needed to beat down, but for infect, 3 cmc might be too high for the effect choke provides, most sideboards for infect decks are more focused on cards that protect your strategy and less on actually interacting with your opponent's strategy.

I run it as a 1-2 of in BG Rock. Some games it slows the opponent down, others it flat out makes them concede. Well worth the SB slot.
Since you're in green I also recommend Raking Canopy on your side. It's good vs Spirits and useful vs Arclight Phoenix.
