calaw00


Sideboard


Note: This is my first standard deck. Updates will occur after playing the deck and/or after an abundance of changes. Also, when commenting about removing/adding a card please explain why its bad/good.
Goal:The main goal is to control the game until the late game using board wipes and other removal.
Cards explained:
Anger of the Gods: Early game board wipe and removes hexproof minions.
Banishing Light: Removal for dangerous non creature spells ( Jeskai Ascendency ) or God cards.
Dig Through Time: Allows drawing through the deck quicker and giving more options than a normal draw card.
Disdainful Stroke: Counters finishers.
Dissolve: Counters smaller, but still dangerous cards (Ex:Courser of Kruphix) and provides some scry.
Elspeth, Sun's Champion: Our main finisher and extra board control.
End Hostilities : Our major board clearer for when Anger of the Gods doesn't do enough damage.
Keranos, God of Storms: Scry, Indestructible, and draw all in one. Mainly for control games or versus Abzan
Last Breath: Early game removal for creatures without prowess and Courser of Kruphix
Lightning Strike: Early game removal
Nyx-Fleece Ram: This helps us recover from near death situations and can stop most creatures including Siege Rhino!
Ojutai's Command: a versatile counter.
Pearl Lake Ancient: Another finisher that A. Can't be countered and B. Can be brought back to our hand if needed and C. Has a high toughness. Helps us in Mirror matches and Abzan where keeping/getting a creature on the field can be tough.
General questions for commenters. Answer as many or few as you'd like:
What cards should i get rid of?
Are there any cards I'm missing out on?
What other cards should i sideboard because of the general meta game? What weak match ups should i try to fix?
Is my manabase ok, or do i need more of X color or Y type of land (scry healing, fetch)?
+1's are appreciated.
