I.E I can't play this week so I am going to muse on some future changes for the following week
So I can't head out to modern this week, so instead of doing a big long write up about my match ups I am going to post some thoughts for changes I might try out for the following week and some discussion as to why.
MB:
Out:
2x Voice of Resurgence - honestly ive been siding them out a lot. they are nice and almost always 241 but beyond that they don't do much. I would much rather only have them when i know i need to play the grindy game
1x Cartel Aristocrat- it was...cute
In:
1x Spellskite - I have loved the 2 mainboard spellskites, they block for days and make some match-ups a living nightmare for my opponent. They also help protect my plan and are easy to cast. I want to test a third to see if maybe having them more consistently will help me out.
1x Eternal Witness or 1x Liliana, Heretical Healer
Flip - looping CoCo is never bad, but beyond that im finding EWit to be extremly useful in doing things like recurring removal or Chord or calling in order to seal games. If not a third Witness I think i would like the try a 2/2 split with liliana. Her being a pseudo Witness is great but she also plays the grindy game well, similar to Voice of Resurgence. If left alone she should be able to lock down the game for me as well which is a cool bonus.
1x Land (Gavony Township, Vault of the Archangel, Birds of Paradise)- the aristocrat would be removed for one of these i think. Lately ive been finding im forced to keep some risky hands which one extra land might fix. ive heard great things from other players about a third Gavony, but am also interested in trying a vault to hold down the fort vs more aggressive decks. Else i think a fourth copy of birds could be useful seeing as i would need a little bit more blue given the third copy of spellskite
Upgrades:
1x Wooded Foothills is evolving into 1x Verdant Catacombs - strict upgrade
SB:
Out:
1xAnafenza, the Foremost - she has been neat. not a lot of match ups locally where i really have wanted to bring her in so for now she can go to the bench.
1xThoughtseize- i don't like playing a singleton of this, should i acquire more maybe the'll come back in, for now I can wait.
1xTidehollow Sculler- I want to make room and if im being honest i don't really feel like bringing in all three most of the time.
In:
3x Voice of Resurgence - and so the noble voice makes its way into the sideboard Honestly I would love to have 4 here but i cant justify cutting any more of the side board right this moment. They will come in vs grindy games, they can be nice vs twin making them play slow, but there's not a lot of twin.
