Sideboard


Maybeboard


This deck has now been retired. It's new version is delving-towards-death and is a very substantial improvement. This deck will accordingly receive no further edits.

A semi-budgetless version of The Thief Lord. This is more the 'realistic budgetless' version because I have upgraded some cards, but left out some ridiculously expensive cards. This is my newest version of the deck so the older versions will receive no more changes.

Liliana of the Veil is the new Liliana, Heretical Healer from origins. This is my placeholder until origins comes out.

I guess you can say this is a Dimir Delver deck. It is advantaged against burn and twin, but awful against abzan and affinity. I am trying to improve both of those matchups through a strong sideboard, but I am struggling. Any advice is appreciated!

Right now I am really happy with the mainboard, but the sideboard needs a lot of work. I put the potential cards to run that I either have or am looking at in the maybeboard, so please help me out. I don't really know how to sideboard for most decks and any help would be great.

I am still working on a primer for this deck so be patient and eventually I'll finish and upload it. Until then, just use your imagination.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments and don't be afraid to keep em coming!

I feel very good about the main. There are only 3 cards in question:

2x Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver: Not a fast threat, but still a really good card and not completely unreasonable, but I am starting to question it. It would likely become 2 Vapor Snag.

1x Murderous Cut: I am a little heavy on the delve right now and I haven't had too many problems, but I may cut 1 cut to put in 1 Slaughter Pact. It's only problem is that it isn't super good against Abzan, but it still hits a lot of relevant cards. Not sure yet because I like 2 cut, but I don't know yet.


I am still working on the sideboard and need a lot of help. I think I like the current sideboard, but I still have a lot of maybeboard cards to consider. Please comment on potential cards to change and ways to optimize the sideboard. The biggest change in question is 2 counters -> 2 Drown in Sorrow because it is pretty good. I'm gonna keep working improving for different matchups and making the deck the best it can be.

IF ANYONE KNOWS GOOD AFFINITY HATE IN PLEASE SPEAK UP!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys.
