Sideboard


Playtesters wanted!Bant Human Heroic deck with a twist, has been working well for me so far. Very aggro, can push through turn 4 win, plenty of interaction and some nice toolbox cards. Feedback welcome.

To explain the deck in a pinch:Favored hoplite is the king. Throw a Rancor and Irresistible Prey on him turn 2, and you are attacking for 4, trample, undamagable, and your opponent is forced to block with whatever key 1/2-drop has been played. Considering the sideboard, Triton him, or Mutagenic growth him, or whatever the hell you want. Even Twisted Image will grab a little bit more damage and draw, if there are no tasty Spellskites, Wall of Omens or Noble Hierarchs around (Kiki, Infect, I am looking at you).

The other heroics are your standard best-of. Can't beat Battlewise for the repeated scrys, especially considering many of the spells will then draw, or multi-target.

Order of the stars are included to hold off nasties in many match-ups and allow me to attack with an invulnerable blocker left, plus being more relevant 1-drops for Champion to make friends with. This is all pre-Triton sideboarding, triton is probably better in many match-ups (Tron/Affinity for instance).

The spells are standard - for protection, I am never sure if I prefer Gods for the scry, or Emerge for the rebound. Depends how good the scry is I guess.

Dromokas is obvious, and gets out of hand quickly in heroic, plus being an amazing toolbox (burn, Ad Nauseum, targeted removal, or straight up counters), Warriors and Ordeal are the card-draw engines (Warriors is sometimes shaky, sometimes great - but still a dual targeting, and you should have trample, protection, or just push through half the time).Irresistible Prey just never ceases to be hilarious, all things considered. Merfolk love it, as does Bob, and any deck that generally likes keeping creatures on the board. Board in Mutants prey against creature-heavy decks, and you effectively have 11 removal spells for all intensive purposes, each growing your creatures while you are at it. Watching a Rancored Favored Hoplite take down a Wurmcoil Engine and bypassing deathtouch/lifelink is lovely stuff.

The rest of the sideboard is obvious - Triton for the combat tricks, Korlis against rush/burn/aggro (buying a turn is often a win), the counters, and the Twisted Image for 'orrible 'orrible Spellskites or literally anything else, or just simply pushing 2 more damage out of Favored and drawing.

Enjoy!
