Tips and Tricks

~Its often correct to just cast a Chord of Calling for 3 when given a reasonable opportunity. This can get Eternal Witness which can return the Chord.

How to side board

Zoo:

The Zoo matchup is all about surviving until you can start to really pull ahead. If you can have a turn where you can make a block and then kill their guy in response to a Ghor-Clan Rampager it can be to much for them to overcome.

OUT; 2x Birthing Pod 2x Chord of Calling 1x Orzhov Pontiff

IN; 2x Slaughter Pact 2x Path to Exile 1x Scavenging Ooze

---

Affinity:

Affinity is one of the few matchups You can actively try to combo in. Most Affinity lists have very little main deck removal, so comboing is more reliable than in other matchups.

OUT; 2x Voice of Resurgence 2x Birthing Pod 1x Scaving Ooze 1x Sin Collector (This might stay in if they have a large number of instants and sorrcerys such as Galvanic Blast.)

IN; 1x Kataki, War's Wage, 2x Path to Exile 2x Slaughter Pact 1x Qasali Pridemage

---

U/W/R Control

Control's only real win con is often with Celestial Colonnade, and being able to kill one usually means that you have a lot of extra time.

OUT; 2x Abrupt Decay, 2x Chord of Calling, 1x Melira, Sylvok Outcast, 1x Birds of Paradise, 1x Orzhov Pontiff, 1x Shriekmaw, 1x Linvala, Keeper of Silence

IN; 4x Thoughtseize, 2x Slaughter Pact , 1x Sin Collector , 1x Entomber Exarch, 1x Scavenging Ooze
