I really like the list! I think I'm going to give this a try for next week, as my DTK update didn't go so well :/
Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Dragonlord Silumgar seem really good post-board. Would you side them in for basically every matchup?

Do you still think you will need the 2x Feed the Clan in the SB? I feel like the "burn" decks side out a lot of their burn post-board.

@ tclaw12Hummm... I don't think so. They keep their burn because they are versatile, they hit planeswalkers and my face. Anyways, I've never experienced a burn deck side out his burn spells against me :P.
Sidisi would come in every game 2, dragonlord only comes in against value creatures (no real value in bringing him against jeskai tokens or mono red aggro let say).

tclaw12 only a bad burn deck player will sideboard out there burn like that...
EssTea i like the new editions to the deck it should hold its own pretty well. i will suggest dropping Feed the Clan for Palace Siege i myself have decided to run 3x SB for burn decks and abzan midrange decks seeing they have no way to get rid of it and it puts a clock on the board for you. burn decks will really struggle against it seeing they have to deal with you gaining 2-4 every turn they will have to race the life gain. upto you on what to do i just enjoy the siege clock for burn and abzan midrange and even control.
Also i ran into a few decks that get like 2 cards out and bring out a permanent or 2 with it given a few turns it can be hard to deal with idk if you have run into this with the new meta but i have to suggest a classic from B/U control Perilous Vault it hits creatures, PW's, enchantment's, and artifacts which are starting to come back and see play.

GFabs list is awesome but you should try running Tasigur in the main. I know he activates some removal but he is amazing, even if you only use his ability 1 time. He helped me win so many more games round 1

BFG it has nothing to do with his abilities why he isn't main boarded.... its to make most removal dead in opponents hands Game1 then he gets brought in game 2

i understand what you are getting at and I didn't run him main for that reason for the longest time however, he is definitely worth the risk. Potential turn 3 Tasigur is no joke. Plus he draws that downfall or counter towards him instead of your real wincons. I'm just letting you know that he is worth a try in the main. Disappointment won't occur as often as you think.

It's not because you always side-in a card game 2 that it needs to be in the mainboard. All standard strategies are a 75 card strategy, this deck even more.
I devote almost 50% of my sideboard to creatures instead of having better instants to adapt to certain matchups. It would be a shame to devote as much to my sideboard without reaping benefits from it. If opponent's see Tasigur game 1, they will certainly hold on to more removal for game 2, it's just logical!

I really like the way your build looks seeing I'm trying to build it myself. Do you have any input where you describe your current matchups like against Esper Control Dragons,U/B, and R/G variants and so on?

@tclaw12 @syncronym
Just gave some attention back to the deck. Here's my take for DTK: addition of Ultimate Price and Anticipate mainboard, addition of Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Dragonlord Silumgar sideboard. 3x Sultai Charm is a must right now, Mastery of the Unseen and Outpost Siege are a plague!
Anyways, tell me what you guys think! I plan on giving this a go for game day.
