Sideboard


I fully understand this deck would likely be nowhere near consistent enough to be competitive, but I did build it with the idea of taking a few games and hopefully producing a few laughs along the way.

The goal is to ramp into playing Revel in Riches with Utopia Sprawl, hopefully have enough removal to actually get to that point in the game, and give your opponent a bunch of creatures with Forbidden Orchard, Hunted Phantasm, and Hunted Troll which then immediately die to Illness in the Ranks. Ideally I would think it best to hang onto Illness until you've already landed your Revel so you destroy as many tokens as possible to trigger as many treasure tokens as you can. And, even if you can't win with your wincon of Revel in Riches, if you can get the Phantasm or your Troll to stick, they make alright beaters for the cost.

The reason why I picked Sultai is because the Hunted creatures in other colors give the opponent creatures larger than 1/1's which would not instantly die to just one Illness in the Ranks. Plus having Serum Visions is always nice.

One card I am contemplating is a mainboard Flaying Tendrils pr two for when you can't draw into your Illness, or just need to clear a board of smaller non-tokens. I feel like it might improve the aggro matchup a bit, which otherwise feels like it would be pretty awful. The other main question at the moment is Utopia Sprawl or Birds of Paradise. My main worry on that front is that there aren't enough forests, basic or otherwise, to run Sprawl. But it is generally harder to remove than Birds, so it has that as its upside.

Feel free to leave a like and suggestions as to what you would change or what you would put into the sideboard. I'm not as familiar with Blue sideboards, so I'm sure there's counters or other cards I am missing that could help shore up the deck.
