Sideboard


Midrange

Generally speaking this is a value engine deck looking to get multiple ETB triggers via blink/flicker (Ephemerate), reanimate (Supernatural Stamina) or return to the hand to recast (Kor Skyfisher/Omen of the Dead) combined with a meta relevant removal suite as a Midrange deck.

  • Draw cards with Helpful Hunter/Spirited Companion for consistency in smoothing out land drops and finding synergistic plays.

  • Exile cards from the opponents hand with Skullcap Snail/Unscrupulous Agent not only stopping threats/answers but potentially mana screw the opponent! Also exile negates any graveyard synergies too.

  • Win through value by going wide with Bird 1/1 W tokens using Soul of Migration and taking Initiative with Goliath Paladin (If you know you know) to go through The Undercity. By playing a Gate mana base Basilisk Gate does a great job at turning all creatures into a threat.

The other things to point out is despite the high casting costs of key spells Dark Ritual enables really explosive plays. The removal suite is very adaptable for many matchups ranging from being able to exile permanents, use non-targeting removal, sweepers and graveyard interaction. This is far from being the fastest deck in the format but is very good with interaction so it can take over in the midgame.
