Sideboard


The unholy combination of Jeskai, Mardu, and Grixis attributes forming one hell of a control deck that can maybe beat a Blood Moon if you get the right opening hand.

This is basically a Jeskai control shell that shaves some counter magic and creatures to gain access to the versatile removal options offered by Black, as well as a cheap, efficient threat in Tasigur, the Golden Fang. Having access to Anguished Unmaking and Utter End is very good for dealing with annoying enchantments and planeswalkers. Terminate and Kolaghan's Command are the real power cards you gain access to though. Terminate is often just better than Path to Exile, and Kommand is just a stupidly efficient card, which also significantly improves your match up against affinity. All of this combines to make your Snapcaster effects absurdly powerful in the mid-to-late game, which is going to give you a pretty big advantage against midrange and control decks that aren't running Blood Moon.

Painful Truths and Sphinx's Revelation are some pretty good draw spells you have access to, which are both much better topdecks than Ancestral Vision, and significantly better anyway if it's past turn 2.

TL;DR This deck performs very well against top tier decks (assuming you kept a decent hand), but has difficulty beating Blood Moons

Reworked the deck a bit, cut down on some other spells and a Snapcaster to add in 4x Jace, which has been an insanely good card for me so far, not that that should really surprise anyone. Added 1x Crackling Doom because it's probably the best instant speed edict available in Modern, and just nice to have against decks like Boggles/Infect. Put in fatcaster because it's a great finisher. That about sums it up.
