Sideboard


This is more of a Golgari Deck splashing blue for a few planeswalkers. It has a ton of removal and is meant to keep to board clear until I can get one of my Planeswalkers to Ultimate.

Played last night against my friend's Esper Control deck and Red-deck wins deck.

Esper Control

Game one: This was a close win for me. I realized I had too much creature removal in a deck that had virtually zero creatures. However, lucky for me, this deck also has zero hero's downfalls, and so he couldn't deal with planeswalkers outside of Detention Sphere. Abrupt Decay was able to keep my Planeswalkers healthy for the most part.

Game two: I sided out all of my Putrefy, Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, and 2x Elvish Mystic. Put in Pithing Needle, Mistcutter Hydra, Dissipate, and 1x Read the Bones. My opponent sided in Duress, Nightveil Specter, and Archangel of Thune. I managed to get both Pithing Needle in my opening hand, and named Elspeth, Sun's Champion with the first, and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver with the 2nd.

We played several more games and I dominated most. He won once with Ashiok and nightmare weaver before I could get any tempo going. So many Duress and Thoughtseize can really hurt this nearly creatureless deck.

Red-Deck Wins

For the most part, as long as I start my opening hand with a few removal spells in it, this was fairly easy. Golgari Charm shines here, as it takes out all of Young Pyromancers tokens, as well as the pyromancer herself. Golgari Charm also takes out Hammer of Purphoros. I may need to add another to the sideboard.
