Sideboard


This deck is fun! I took 1st place at local FNM, 24 players with 5 rounds of swiss and Top 8.

Solid card advantage from Eidolon of Blossoms and Courser of Kruphix, and Herald of Torment can take them from 2-power dorks to 5-power flying, and makes Master of the Feast 8/8, stopping Desecration Demon and Stormbreath Dragon.

An opening hand on the play with turn three Master of the Feast can put you on aggro (or at least bait the removal spell so the Eidolon or Courser stick) and Azorius Control will have a hard time dealing with it if you have Golgari Charm to stop their Supreme Verdict or Detention Sphere. No one in my local meta saw maindeck Golgari Charm coming, as I board-wiped aggro, destroyed enchantments and Courser of Kruphix, and regenerated my team much to my opponents' disappointment.

Doomwake Giant, while useful against Elspeth tokens, and good for late game board wipe, was too slow and not powerful enough for most games, and i'll be looking into another option, possibly 1-2 additional Pharika, God of Affliction.

I may take an alternate dredge approach, using Satyr Wayfinder and Grisly Salvage to hit lands and fill the graveyard, and focus on making Snakes with Pharika, God of Affliction. This will give instant-speed card drawing from Eidolon of Blossoms, and give surprise blockers with Deathtouch.
