Sideboard


one drops

Oath of Nissa Great to start with one in hand as i get to select the best card from the top 3 of my deck to have for turn 2, and great later in the game to filter out land from the top of the deck when i want to be hitting some big creatures/planeswalkwers.

Authority of the Consuls Gain life and slow down opponents plays allows me to survive against aggro decks and nullifies the advantage of haste creatures.

Two drops

Declaration in Stone Obliterates tokens, and anything else that doesn't have hexproof.

Blessed Alliance fantastic card in so many matchups, provides a buffer against burn, and has the potential to take out three opponents creatures on combat with escalation.

Gideon's Reproach Kills early creatures that attack before I get a board presence and can help tip combat in my favour later in the game.

Three drops

Tireless Tracker is another card advantage engine and a potential beast late game if left on the board. Best to wait until turn 4 to play to get at least 1 clue out of him, but if we're having a lucky matchup and our opponent didn't have a play when we had duskwatch recruiter down we can get an activation on turn 3.

Four drops

Gideon, Ally of Zendikar An indestructible 5/5 that can create 2/2 tokens and provide permanent boost to all creatures, works great going against other control decks.

Gisela, the Broken Blade one succesful attack swings our life 8 points clear, massive advantage, if she's not answered then i can see 2 attacks being enough to finish the game. Not to mention the late game potential with Bruna, the Fading Light

Five drops

Archangel Avacyn   Capable of blowing out a combat step and having a 4/4 vigilant flyer only needs a few turns to finish the game.

Nissa, Vital Force Can +1 to provide an extra attacker to finish off opponents, -3 for more graveyard recursion, and her ultimate provides insane card advantage

Six drop

Linvala, the Preserver helps us to stabilise in games where we're at a disadvantage or can keep us on curve to keep up the pressure.

Seven drop

Bruna, the Fading Light gets us one of our other creatures back on the board, and with Gisela, the Broken Blade transforms into a a game winner for games where a 5/7 flying vigilance isn't enough.

Seasons Past is great at tipping the scales when in a removal heavy match or when the game stalls, refills my hand with lots of answers. It's also great when Brisela, Voice of Nightmares has been killed to just get Bruna the fading light back and set up for Brisela again the next turn by getting Gisela straight back to the board.

Sigarda, Heron's Grace provides a nice flying attacker, but more importantly, stops emrakuls ability from being able to target me.

Gideon, Ally of Zendikar extra copies when we're wanting to play an agressive game and race to beat the opponents life

Duskwatch Recruiter   A bear who searches for our next creature and can act as psudo ramp if flipped

Selfless Spirit can trigger Archangel Avacyn   to flip when we want, protect our creatures from burn spells and help them survive combat, plus it's a flyer that can go over blockers when opponents secure the ground

Thalia, Heretic Cathar For when we want to disrupt the opponents game if they're playing a lot of non basic lands or flash creatures to prevent surprise blockers. And helps push damage through if we're playing aggressively

Fumigate stabilises the board when we're behind and leaves us in an advantageous position as we get to choose what remains. good against opponents that want to go wide, or run a lot of planeswalkers.

Fragmentize Destroy artifacts in an artifact focused rotation, of course i'm having this. Plus destroys enchanments which will probably see an increase in play with Dromoka's command rotating out.

Feedback and suggestions are very much appreciated.
