Sideboard


Modern Jund with the new unbannings that have taken place. Here are my thoughts on things regarding inclusions/exclusions.

1) I cut hand hate down to 5 cards, 3 inquistions and 2 thoughtseize, due to how powerful and necessary they are to the early game, but how bad they are in the late game or off of a bloodbraid elf (most of the time). To fill the void where these cards are really powerful, I moved a thoughtseize to the sideboard.

2) I have decided to play the entire set of lightning bolts, since bloodbraid hitting lightning bolt isn't as dead as bloodbraid hitting fatal push. I have still decided to play two fatal for the reason that I find more value in the additional removal than I do in additional creatures. This mainly being because of my additions of kolaghan's command and liliana the last hope.

3) I have decided to play 3 kolaghan's commands complemented by 2 liliana the last hopes. This provides me with strong creature recursion, primarily the ability to bring back bloodbraid elfs and sideboard options, while retaining the ability to cascade into strong three-cost cards. I think this is superior to running scavenging ooze, as scavenging ooze has to stick on board, and be a mana sink. If you have the answers and recursion for the stronger creatures in your deck, then I feel that the ooze is not necessary, although it may still be a good option for the deck; I'm not positive, this is just what I think for now. The change in the planeswalker rule has made liliana the last hope stronger than it was, simply because you can have it on the board along side liliana of the veil. This also makes your bloodbraid hits stronger, because you can cascade into additional strong planeswalkers.

4) I decided to main deck two abrupt decays for the reason that blue decks will probably be on the rise, making the uncounterable clause more relevant. This is also strong against lantern control, and death's shadow (if it is still around with the changes). I could easily be persuaded to change this to a maelstrom pulse nonetheless.

Let me know if you agree, or have suggestions.

Recent changes after playing more; 2 K-Command instead of 3 2 Maelstrom Pulse instead of 1 2 Inquisition of Kozilek instead of 3 1 Blooming Marsh instead of 0 1 Thrun in side over grim lavamancer
