Sideboard


Hey everybody who checks out this deck. If you have any sort of advice it'd be greatly appreciated, even if I don't necessarily take the advice. With Modern PTQ season coming up I've been trying to figure out a good, fun, somewhat rogue deck that could do pretty well if I learn its in's and out's, its weaknesses and strengths. Originally I was just going to copy Reid Duke's Hexproof deck, but then I thought that would be boring, but I thought the hexproof aspect is quite strong, as spot removal is so common. So, I looked up hexproof in magiccards.info advanced search and found some trolls. Then I looked up "troll modern deck" in the Google, and a Troll Worship primer came up. So, here we are. I took all the cards I thought were the best for a troll worship deck, and I put them together. So far all I've tested against is a few friends who ran Merfolk, Scapeshift, Gifts Control, and UWR Control. The only one of those I had a lot of troubles with was Gifts, all the others I have beaten the majority of the time. I assume I'll have a lot of trouble with Pod and Twin, so my sideboard is mainly hate for those...and some affinity hate too. If anybody has anything I should add to the main or side board, please let me know. Thank you!

So I went to a modern PTQ on the 22nd, and I went 4 and 4. I was happy with that for my first big mtg event. But I learned some valuable things about my deck. Most of all, I don't much like Rancor. I found that while having the trample is good, I just couldn't attack with my geist sometimes because he wasn't strong enough to live through a blocker. So, I changed it to Angelic Destiny. I haven't tested it yet but I think the change will be for the better. I also put in a Sigarda, Host of Herons in to replace the 4th Geist of Saint Traft that I don't own yet. She was actually pretty helpful but I don't know what to cut for her when I get my 4th Geist. I also changed my sideboard a bit.The only deck I found to be unbeatable for me was Storm. So, I'm throwing in 3x Mindbreak Trap, and will then probably instakeep any hand with it. I didn't find Pod to be too difficult a match up, nor splinter twin, so I'm happy to take out a few of the cards put in for those. Affinity was another big tough matchup, and I didn't have any Hurkyl's Recall to side in so I used Stony Silence instead. I prefer Hurkyl's a lot because there is actually a lot affinity can still do with Stony Silence out.
