Even more testing —Aug. 13, 2014
-1 Basilisk Collar +1 Umezawa's Jitte
Collar is great in very late game, but most of the time Jitte would have done a better job.
Currently testing 4x Duals + 4x fetches + basics manabase, and it's working great. I'm practically immune to wasteland, and with Vial the deck works a lot more smoothly.
Sideboard is starting to shape up. I'm convinced that 4x gravehate is mandatory.
The double needles are supposed to shut down karakas, wasteland and other permanents that Revokers can't take care of.
I'm a big fan of instant bouncers, They are supposed to a) save ninjas from removal, b) break combos that rely on single permanents c) bounce prison permanents to buy time d) take care of tokens. They are also often a great tempo tool.
Currently testing 2x single target removals + 1x wipe, totalling 3x. Combined with deterrance of strix, throat slitter and mitblade, it totals 10x creature control cards against creature-heavy decks like Jund, BUG, DnT and Welder.
This sideboard still leaves the deck completely naked against combos, but my feeling so far is that unless I run 10 counterspell sideboard, the combo matchup won't be solved.
