Standard RUW (Jeskai, America)

MercurioBlue


Sideboard


Based off Jeffrey Tang's top 8 list from SCG Oakland 2014-11-01

I'm trying out Devouring Light (instead of Banishing Light) maindeck and Pillar of Light sideboard. The Gods Willing in the sideboard could be a third Pillar of Light or third Erase.

I removed the 4 Seeker of the Way, because I was boarding them out usually, outside of mono-red matchups. If mono-red becomes a big thing again, I would board out the Rabblemasters and replace with the Seekers.

I like having 3 Hushwing Gryff because of Siege Rhino/Wingmate Roc/Doomwake Giant/Eidolon of Blossoms. Sure, they still get the creature, but this is probably the best that can be done due to removals being pretty bad in this standard format.

I added a second Stormbreath Dragon. Gods Willing is a nonbo with Stormbreath Dragon for sure.

Enemy Stormbreath Dragon is a nuisance for this deck. I might consider playing Fated Conflagration sideboard. But I think 3 Disdainful Stroke is enough sideboard juice for Stormbreath Dragons. Perhaps the two Negates could be Dissolve.

The mana curve in this deck is a bit higher than I'd like. Maybe I could cut the 1 Gods Willing maindeck for a 25th land. Maybe a Temple of Triumph.

The two Erase in the sideboard is for Jeskai Heroic Ascendancy combo, or for Banishing Light on my stuff. It can also just be W: Exile target Courser of Kruphix,

End Hostilities/Anger of the Gods is controversial in Jeskai Tempo lists because people usually say the "control" route is a waste. I still like having some options for Green Devotion (End) or mono-red aggro (Anger).
