Sideboard


A deck made to punish enemy draw and reward one's own. Also, I wanted to run an enchantment deck without Enlightened Tutor for once.

Argothian Enchantress is a powerhouse with broad synergy and hard to remove, reinforced by the second combo of Exploration and Horn of Greed. The symmetry of Horn, along with Howling Mine, is broken by Black Vise for (ideally) early game progressive damage. Multani, Maro-Sorcerer is a finisher, and avoids removal much like AE. The deck boasts few de jure early game creatures, but Hidden Gibbons is highly mana-efficient and punishes burn and control while triggering AE, and Hidden Herd works similarly against an even broader range of decks, while Mishra's Factory synergises with Exploration/Horn. Quicksand gives protection via removal that's hard to interact with and generates mana. Spellbook isn't needed immediately and doesn't stack, but is easy to draw into, and benefits Multani while allowing more card advantage. Hickory Woodlot gives more ramp and the downside is softer with Exploration, while Tranquil Thicket is useful for both mana and cycling. Lastly, Naturalize answers much combo and stax play.

The sideboard contains Seedtime for strong anti-blue tempo, and Hidden Guerillas plus Compost as anti-artifact and anti-black strategies that synergize with AE. If an opponent has many blockers, Primal Rage aids attackers. Storm Seeker is more damage and hits any deck that exploits the draw given. Two additional copies of Naturalize are included for artifact and enchantment heavy decks, and another Quicksand against weenie matchups.
