Sideboard


This was a fun prerelease, and this deck got me to 2-0-1 (two wins, one draw). It's mostly Rakdos with a blue splash, primarily for Cryptic Coat. The Rakdos archetype is supposed to be focused on the Suspect mechanic, but I didn't have much of that, so it's more of a "decent creatures and removal" deck, which worked pretty well. I used a lot of disguise creatures, which were nice in large part because you always had the option to play them for pretty cheap.

A few observations from playing it:

  • Massacre Girl, Known Killer is very good! There's a lot going for this card, from the wither to the card draw to just being 4/4 menace for four mana.
  • I only ever used Escape Tunnel to search for land, but it's very convenient to have this at common.
  • The creatures with hybrid disguise costs add a lot of flexibility. Dog Walker and Riftburst Hellion both made a difference, and I'm glad I could include them without really worrying about white or green mana sources.
  • I don't normally play many combat tricks, but The Chase is On definitely turned some encounters around. First strike helps a lot.

I didn't end up using anything from the sideboard, but I included a few cards I might have considered in the listing here.
