Sideboard for 8-whack goblins
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on April 11, 2018, 3:27 p.m. by Snivy__
Hey guys! I'm having trouble deciding what sideboard cards are the most important in my current meta:
3-4 Elf players
1-2 Affinity players
1-2 Naya Zoo players
2-3 Tron/Eldrazi Tron
0-1 Control
0-1 Valakut
1-2 Lantern
1-2 Bogles
If anyone could help me out with the sideboard that'll be great!
I think Molten Rain is nice vs Tron and Valakut decks. It takes them off their mana and gives you an extra turn while also damaging them. With the abundance of small creature decks I would think some amount of Searing Blood and Searing Blaze. Smash to smithereens is a must too.

Smash to Smithereens is awesome against affinity.
Shattering Spree is also agood against card artifacts as well and can also destroy chalice on 1
Against tron and valakut Blood Moon and Molten Rain are good options.
Against small creature decks and also against affinity Searing Blood and Searing Blaze are pretty good. Blood moght be better if you dont play fetchlands

Smash to Smithereens because you have lots of people playing artifact centered decks, Blood Moon will also win against a good number of the decks in your meta if not all of them. but if your going mono red than there is no enchantment removal available for the bogles matchup

Ok so currently I am running
2x Dismember
1x Magus of the Moon (b/c I can't get Blood Moon at the time)
1x Abrade
3x Forked Bolt
I played a tournament last Saturday, did bad the first round against RG Eldrazi (didn't see that one coming!) from one of my friends. Any suggestions to beat that?
He usually drops Reality Smashers, Thought-Knot Seers, and Endbringers against me by turn 3.

Ok so update on the sideboard;
1x Dismember
2x Goblin Chainwhirler
1x Dragons claw
1x Tormods Crypt
1x Blood Moon
1x Magus of the Moon
1x Shattering Spree
3x Smash to smithereens
2x Searing Blood
2x Damping Sphere
I need some ideas on whether to go for Relic, but I don’t know whether Crypt is better, or even Graf cage. I put in Chainwhirlers against the little creature decks like Elves and Affinity.

Id cut the claw. Its pretty much only good against zoo. Play another searing blood in its place becauts good against zoo but also against elves and affinity.
Well i think that depends on the type of GY hate you like.
Relic cycles. You can bring it in against control and midrange decks because of that. You wouldnt do that with cage or crypt. Thats why id chose relic.
Crypt is nice because its 0 mana and triggers surge.
Cage is a little more flexible because it also hits coco, chord etc. It doesnt cycle or trigger surge easy though. And it doesnt help against delve and midrange decks in general

I've decided to keep the Claw and probably add one more because I faced two burn decks last night and the claw really determined who stayed alive (me) and who didn't (them). Zoo kinda died at my LGS, but I still have Chainwhirler and Searing Blood against them.

Ive you regulary encounter burn thats certainly correct

Smash to Smithereens, Blood Moon, Grafdigger's Cage and Damping Sphere :)
Maybe Flame Slash for Eldrazis if they run you over, but Moon should do it against them.
Or maybe Shatterstorm for more artifact hate.
