Sideboard


Mid-range mono-blue control.

The Plan:

Generate a lot of tokens with Talrand, Sky Summoner and Rise from the Tides by utilizing the card draw of Anticipate, Nagging Thoughts , Serum Visions and Pour Over the Pages. Protect the tokens with Xenograft from being destroyed when The Thing in the Ice transforms. Use Part the Waterveil to swing twice with a bunch of tokens and Awoken Horror   .

To Stay Alive:

Tokens can be used for chump-blocking, but mainly rely on spells to generate more tokens and trigger the Thing: Mana Leak, Remove Soul , and Warping Wail. The nice thing about Warping Wail (even though it only counters sorceries) is that if you have a couple of Jace's Sanctums in play it doesn't cost a thing. Prism Ring for life gain (duh).

The Stumbling Blocks:

I was trying to keep the budget around $60, but the cost of Serum Visions just keeps going up. Imay have to find something to take its place - maybe mainboard Dissolve ? I feel like it needs a faster mana ramp. Any ideas on speeding it up?

Any suggestions are welcome!!!
