Sideboard


So basically the goal of this deck is to play Siege Rhino as many times as possible. Ramp into it with Birds of Paradise and Noble Hierarch , then cast it as early as turn 3 and start blinking it with Restoration Angel , flickering it with Flickerwisp , and copying it with Phantasmal Image . While not being extremely fast, the deck has hate cards like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and Vendilion Clique to help slow down combo decks enough for you to beat them down. This IS a 4 color deck, so Ancient Ziggurat is pretty important for fixing mana, and isn't much of a downside, as the only noncreature spell in the deck is Path to Exile . There is some fast mana in Razorverge Thicket to play early dorks, but the deck plays pretty well with shocklands because you'll quickly regain the life lost to shocking by playing rhinos.

Other than the plan of draining the opponent out of the game with your rhinos, the deck also plays Wall of Omens and Mulldrifter to help smooth out draws and grind out value in the late game. To help balance the deck, almost all of the creatures are good targets for any of your blink or clone effects, so you'll stand a fair chance even without drawing a single rhino. While combo seems pretty sketchy, the deck seems pretty solid against fair creature and midrange matchups, being able to play blockers in the early game and ramp into large threats in the midgame, then reuse those creatures and save them from removal with resto in the late game, so all in all, it's pretty well-rounded, though a bit weak to wraths, and looks like a ton of fun to play! (Still needs testing though)

This deck is based on the old Against the Odds video from MTGGoldfish, found on both YouTube and their website.
