Modern Izzet Storm

Gifts Ungiven Piles:

• Set-up: Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Manamorphose, Past in Flames

• Killshot: Grapeshot, Remand, Noxious Revival, Manamorphose

• Value: Gifts Ungiven, Serum Visions, Sleight of Hand, Peer Through Depths

Sideboard Strategies:

• In general, you can take out 2 Gifts Ungiven, 1 Past in Flames, and 1 Grapeshot in post board games. You can then bring in 2 Pieces of the Puzzle and 2 Empty the Warrens to gain some resiliency to counter-strategies.

• Against removal-heavy strategies, it's appropriate to remove 3+ enablers. Electromancer is better where you have to race, and Baral is better where blocking matters, but you always want a split between the two.

• Against decks where racing is important (e.g., Burn, Titan-Shift), you can take out any expensive dig spells.

• Against decks that are low to the ground with many cheap spells (e.g., Affinity, Zoo), you may remove remands.

• Against much graveyard hate or in matchups where the life total is non-trivial, you may remove Noxious Revival.

• A single Pyretic Ritual can come out against decks where you have to board in many cards and need the extra space.

Note: The sideboard strategy is meant to describe acceptable cards that can come out without diluting our game-plan too much; it is not a strict sideboard guide.
