Sideboard


Another Naya Zoo! Everyone's seen one, but here's mine. I'm here to beat you down as quick as possible with Jungle Animals and Pump Spells. It's a pretty consistent Turn 5 win. I want this to be as consistent as possible. As you can see, I'm not running the typical Hierarch of the Reliquary Smitergoyf Zoo. I think this build is much more fun and can be just as competitive, but here's the low down on everything.

Creatures:

Birds of Paradise - Helps me get the ball rolling. Speeds up the deck a bit. Didn't wanna run a play set in fear of top decking when it's not needed.

Goblin Guide - Need I say more?

Kird Ape and Loam Lion - These are 1 drops for 2/3. Sufficient beaters, if you will.

Steppe Lynx - This little lynx becomes a monster with the 11 Fetch lands I'm running. I'll see how 11 fetches work out and increase if needed. I prefer Steppe Lynx over Knight of the Reliquary because the lands do not need to stay in my graveyard and I can Delve them for Become Immense. Yes, the counters are only til EOT, but that's all I need.

Wild Nacatl for a 3/3. I don't know about you, but I like that.

Ghor-Clan Rampager - I never plan on hard casting this, but the option is there if needed. He is in here strictly for his AMAZING Bloodrush.

Spells:

Lightning Bolt - Of Course

Mutagenic Growth - Great pump spell. is well worth it.

Path to Exile - Make a hole!

Boros Charm - Can be a game winning 4 damage, protects my dudes against board wipes, and the double strike is great on Steppe Lynx when no blocks are declared.

Browbeat - Early game damage or hand reload, opponents choice.

Become Immense - My favorite pump spell! It's just insane and fetches make it easy to cast with Delve.

Lands:

Not much to say about my land base. I have all the fetches for deck filtering and the reasons noted above. Only 5 basic lands, so Blood Moon can really do a number on me, but I have a sideboard for a reason.

Sideboard:

Haven't really used the sideboard all too often. I really need more play testing with it, but you can see what I have as of now.

All suggestions are welcome guys! Sorry for such a long description. I couldn't get the Categories to work for some reason, but I will work on it.

Hope ya guys like it, thanks for checking it out!

+1 if worthy

Dropped an Arid Mesa for one more Plains. Found myself killing myself all too often. Will eventually drop Steppe Lynx for Scythe Leopard. Steppe Lynx just became a dead card on the field all too often and I'd rather have a 1/1 beater on the field.
