Sideboard


Welcome to the Phyrexian Medical Sciences. Please, have a seat while the psychic surgeon prepares for the operation. In the meantime we shall prepare you for your surgery. The surgeon will be performing a Sadistic Sacrament. There will be no anesthetic as we Extirpate your Stream of Consciousness. When you are ready we shall begin your Blessed Reincarnation.

This deck is based around Psychic Surgery. This card has not seen much play in Modern and I wish to change that. The idea is to control what the opponent draws from their deck so that they will never get anything good, while at the same time chipping away at their deck. This deck has the capability to restart itself using Jace, the Living Guildpact's ultimate, shuffling everyone's graveyard back into their deck. Since everything the opponent has is exiled they will soon run out of cards in their deck. The key of this deck is to keep it versatile. To do this I am using certain cards with Transmute, that way I can either control the opponent or grab key pieces of the deck.

Control: These cards have multiple uses, from bouncing creatures, searching for other cards, or altering the deck for better draws for you and worse draws for the opponent.

Clutch of the Undercity is used to bounce any difficult creatures, or it is used to transmute into a Jace, the Living Guildpact or Blessed Reincarnation.

Dimir Machinations is used for altering the opponents deck taking away anything good for them, or it can be used to transmute into any with a converted mana cost of 3.

Jace, the Living Guildpact is used for improving draws, bouncing creatures, or shuffling the opponents deck and drawing cards

Muddle the Mixture is used as a basic counter spell, or for transmuting into anything I need with converted mana cost of 2.

Perplex is another counter spell that can be used to transmute into anything I need with converted mana cost of 3.

Syncopate is another counter spell.

Engine: These are the main cards of the deck that specifically benefits from the opponent shuffling their deck.

Cosi's Trickster is an early beater that can become larger with time.

Psychic Surgery is the main card of the deck that is meant to stop the opponent from drawing anything good while milling them in the process.

Removal: Basic removal for any pesky creatures that make it onto the battlefield.

Dismember helps remove any relatively large creature and/or creatures with indestructible.

Go for the Throat is a card meant to take out a majority of creatures.

Shuffler: These are the main cards that interact well with the Engine cards.

Blessed Reincarnation has good removal as well as a double activates the Engine cards twice.

Extirpate can remove any important cards the opponent plays early on while also activating the Engine cards.

Ghost Quarter is a land that helps shuffle the opponents deck whenever it calls for it.

Sadistic Sacrament can remove 3 cards from an opponents deck completely demolishing any strategy they have, while also activating the Engine cards.

Stream of Consciousness is a card that has a 2 converted mana cost that basically says "shuffle target players deck."

Shimian Specter helps remove any threats that the opponent has in their hand, while also shuffling their deck.

Thieves: These cards take advantage of what the opponents deck has to offer by stealing their cards and playing them when possible.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver can mill the opponent each turn for 3 while then later playing any creature it snatches.

Nightveil Specter can fly overhead and take the top card of the opponents deck, which can then be played whenever possible.

Sideboard: The sideboard is used to change the deck in two different ways. One way is to focus on bouncing the opponents creatures, while the second way is to focus on exile their deck faster.

Clutch of the Undercity helps bounce more creatures or help find key pieces of the deck.

Drown in Sorrow helps take care of any token decks.

Eradicate exiles most creatures, while also shuffling the opponents deck.

Haunting Echoes stops any graveyard decks.

Hurkyl's Recall is used for artifact hate.

Infinite Obliteration helps take out any creature decks, especially eldrazi.

Life's Finale is a great board wipe that shuffles the opponents library.

Neverending Torment allows for a different win condition.

Netherborn Phalanx is used for its transmute cost to find Life's Finale or Neverending Torment.

Void Stalker is used as a way to bounce creatures and shuffle the opponents library.
