Sideboard


The shell is Huey Jensen's design, I really fell in love with the general play style of the deck so I decided to put it together.

Crux of Fate is absolutely ridiculous, we still have Perilous Vault/Hero's Downfall for planeswalkers alike, and we can vanish our Pearl Lake Ancient to keep it alive before we pop Perilous VaultThe deck burns through its cards very very fast, all of our draw spells are instant speed, no Treasure Cruise in this list - we already have 6 delve cards so adding anymore than 6 total makes the deck feel really slow and clunky.We have good lifegain from Dismal Backwater /Radiant Fountain, and good spells for early game threats like Siege Rhino

I've slightly changed the shell of the deck to perform a little differently, notably I've cut 1 Bloodstained Mire for 1 more Radiant Fountain - having that many sac lands just feels a little odd in the deck, plus we have Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth so why not get a colorless/sudo swamp +2 life? I also cut 1 Disdainful Stroke for the big bad Ugin, the Spirit Dragon - if you resolve Ugin, the Spirit Dragon the game 99% of the time just ends it self off a -X to take the board, and then just bolting them for 3 while you get cards from Dig Through Time and Jace's Ingenuity Deck is still undergoing testing + changes, playtest it if you'd like to help!Feedback appreciated!

4 set swiss, here is how it went.

Set 1: vs. Soulfayer Reanimator

I feel like I was the big dog doing into this game once I figured out what the decks goal was. I played pretty good I feel, but not the best I did during the day. I used Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver to exile his Chromanticore and then immediately sacrifice Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver to play it to survive vs his Silumgar, the Drifting Death and Flamewake Phoenix, won the game off his own Chromanticore and my Silumgar, the Drifting Death Not much side boarding went down here, won the set 1-0-1 due to time, though it was looking grim for me anyways.

Set 2: vs 4C planeswalkers

Made a large amount of misplays and let him cast things I shouldn't, I ended the game 2 with 2 Dissolves and 1 Disdainful Stroke in my hand, just didn't "control" as the control deck. Lost 0-2.

Set 3: vs Abzan Midrange

Absolute slaughter, I feel bad for the guy, he was really nice. 2-0 for me even during misplays. Pearl Lake Ancient is too heavy of a card for Abzan to really deal with, and you can stall them out forever and just wait until you have Pearl Lake Ancient and Dissolve/Disdainful Stroke to win it on his end step.

Set 4: vs Sultai Control/Reanimator

Not sure what this deck was trying to do other than dig its own graveyard for a win condition, he made a misplay of casting Dig Through Time in search of a Negate when he casted both of his main boarded ones, and resulted in scooping because of it as he had no way out from Pearl Lake Ancient The second game we drew because we went to time. 1-0-1

Conclusion: the deck is coming along, but it still needs some work, I feel mainboarding Murderous Cut is really not worth it, its limited targets and I need to use my graveyard for Dig Through Time 99% of the time.
