Sideboard


This deck is a sort of jack-of-all-trades. It starts with Birds of Paradise, Sphere of the Suns, and Wall of Tanglecord for some mana ramp and blockers. Following that you have a few counterspells like Mana Leak and Negate to knock your enemy's offense down. Reclamation Sage provides some defense against artifacts and enchantments, while Arrest, Day of Judgment, Cyclonic Rift, Supreme Verdict, and Sleep provide some additional defense and keep your opponent guessing.

Continuing the theme of random defense is Mind Control to remove a pesky big guy and use his power against the opponent, as well as Volition Reins (Good for Planeswalkers who didn't get hit with negate or mana leak). A single Temporal Mastery makes for some nice spice to really ruin your opponent's day.

After all the defense and control comes the big guns: guys like Phyrexian Ingester, Angelic Arbiter, Stormtide Leviathan, and Wurmcoil Engine. Chances are you aren't going to see them very long -- your opponent will no doubt target them right away -- that's where Profound Journey comes in. Since you no doubt already have the mana to cast such large creatures, Profound Journey should be no sweat. Additionally, Reckless Scholar allows you to dump the big guys into your graveyard to save for Profound Journey later, helping to keep them from getting in the way in the early parts of the game. Add Jace Beleren into the mix and the 65 cards become less of a problem and more of an advantage.
