Sideboard


My take on Alejandro Lippi's Collected deck. An attempt to recreate it on more of a budget (Excluding some of the money cards that is), and refining it until it can keep up with decks at my local shop. Recently, it has veered off that course, but I hope to still make it work. Enjoy!

Played at a small local card shop, we did 3 rounds with 5 competitors. Wound up going 2-1 losing to Scapeshift, but that only further pushes my need to solidify the sideboard.

Round 1 went against my Grixis friend I seem to play at every tournament. Traded off wins to get to the third game, we both kept a "Screw it" hand, and I started the game with a Loxodon Smiter, 5 lands, and a Birds of Paradise on the play. Dropped my forest, played my Birds, then passed and realized that I might be living a dream. I did. He used Thoughtseize, I got the T1 Smiter down, tilting him hard. Drew into straight fuel, and the saltiness entailed. 1-0.

Round 2 went against scapeshift. Lost on turn 4 or 5 game 1, went to game 2 boarding in my Meddling Mages and my Leyline. Threw away a perfect hand in hope of getting a Leyline, thinking he could have gone off on me turn 3 or 4 and I would have been shut down hard. Had to go down to 4 cards due to awful hands before that, and got the leyline. He destroyed it T2, then I dropped a Meddling Mage T4 that he destroyed, too. Then went off, taking the round. 1-1.

Round 3 went against Delver. Had no problems holding him down, he couldn't deal with my aggro, and I overran him hard. 2-1.

Learned that Thalia, Heretic Cathar is definitely only a 1 of mainboard and that I probably should get some more hate for combo besides Meddling Mage, but it may involve a lot more money. We'll see what happens!
