Stain the mind in Affinity
Modern Deck Help forum

So I've built an affinity deck and I love it. The only problem is I'm torn between including Stain the Mind in my sideboard and not cutting the other card. I know it mostly depends on the local meta but I haven't seen local meta in a while. I know it has an ad nauseum, mirror, from, and some various control builds deck in it. Other than that I'm not too sure. After looking at some other affinity decks I didn't see many decks playing the card, but I can see how it'd be viable in affinity. Especially since Vault Skirge can convince it.

I think you're better off playing Thoughtseize on your sideboard instead.

Thoughtseize + Surgical Extraction would probably be more reliable. Maybe. I see the value in Stain the Mind but it takes away from your aggro

It'd go in against combo decks TMBRLZ so it'll shut a deck down but yes at the same time it would essentially negate a turn essentially. I'll probably just have to see what the meta is like.

Even with convoke it looks slow to me
