This deck is built with hate towards all of the bad matches to 8-Rack.
Sideboard mainly for the horrible matches against Affinity, Amulet Titan, Burn, Jund, Abzan, Tron, and sometimes dredge (which can be really easy, since they no longer have Golgari Grave-Troll), but are cards that can be used in multiple matches.
Current list is being revised due to Dominaria bringing Damping Sphere for Tron/Storm and changes to how damage is dealt to Planeswalkers.
Decklist updated 11/25/17 to reflect a better sideboard against current meta, and a solid way to take down Leyline of Sanctity with Delirium Skeins, but it's also a good card if you need them to discard everything in their hand.
Decklist updated 4/9/18 in preparation for a Chalice of the Void heavy meta, and the release of Dominaria.
Decklist updated 11/17/19 as I've began playing again in an aggro-heavy meta that Chalice of the Void was in but is no longer as prevalent. The meta also includes multiple Tron players, which is why I have the 4x Ghost Quarters in the main. I understand that that is not typical, as it's mathematically best to run 1 more Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth than the amount of lands you have that don't produce black mana. Currently I'm debating 1x Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage or 1x Nether Spirit to run in the main, and depending on how prevalent Amulet Titan/Tron is in the meta, replace Damping Spheres with Rotting Regisaurs. Also debating Delirium Skeins vs Mind Rake.
Decklist updated 09/13/20 due to testing this build. Will get around to changing the "How To Sideboard" section to make it more relevant later.
