Sideboard


Recent deck I built, me and a friend gave eachother a challenge to build a modern deck but using only cards from the Lorwyn and Shadowmoor block, this includes any reprints of course and cards from Morningtide and Eventide. It's Rogue Aggro but can be sideboarded for a more control aspect.

I have been playing this deck on MTGO with decent success as long as I'm not up against a net deck.

The point is to get as many evasive rogues on the board as possible with Bitterblossom and beef them up with Stinkdrinker, Oona's Blackguard, and Door of Destinies. Utilization of the prowl ability to get a cheap Earwig Squad on the field so we can remove potential problems from the opponents deck from the game. Springleaf Drum and Frogtosser help make this process a little faster and make up for our 21 Lands. Reflecting pool is a sweet card once you have a Vivid land on the field, really helps you utilize your Blue and White spells. Idyllic tutor and Beseech the Queen can help us tutor for either more Bitterblossoms or other needed cards in the deck.

The sideboard is full of utility and can basically change the sway of the deck to a more control aspect. Getting our Halo's out there to protect us from threats, Obilivon Rings to remove more problems, Cryptic Commands to either bounce our Halo's back to re cast or counter spells, tap their field of potential attackers, or draw a card. Fracturing gust is great against Bogle's and is basically a board wipe against artifact decks. Austere command is the most expensive but also full of utility, allowing us to wipe the enemies board who potentially have more expensive creatures than most of ours, especially tokens(0-3 CMC). Wheel of sun and moon shuts down dredge completely. Mistbind to shut out other control decks.

Anyway, let me know what you think and feel free to suggest anything. If making suggestions, the cards must be in the Lorwyn or Shadowmoor blocks to go with the theme. Thanks!
