I see-I assume you've built the deck already and have played with it at FNM? If so , do you mind me asking how it plays against competitive decks? I was thinking of building it :)

Oh yeah, I built this deck a while ago. The sideboard is very important. The only naturally good matchup you really have with this deck is Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, so being able to board in the right answer is critical.

I played it at FNM for maybe six months, and by the time it was completely fine-tuned and I had figured out how to best pilot it, it was going 2-1 most nights. This is at a fairly competitive meta where proxies are allowed, so people tended to run a lot of Top 8. The sideboard is tuned for that.

Damn, not bad-well done aha. So what is the sideboard built to protect against? and what cards would you swap out?

Stony Silence trashes affinity, eggs, Expedition Map, etc...

Rest in Peace is really good against Tarmogoyf, Snapcaster Mage, things like that.

Leyline of Sanctity hoses discard, burn, mill (if you ever play against it), and Storm.

Mark of Asylum is for burn, obviously.

As far as swapping things out, I could be more helpful if I know what you're trying to put in, and how many copies.

So I know this deck hasn't been updated in awhile but... I realized that Eldrazi Displacer is gold in this deckI tweaked my verison of the deck and added the phantasms and with displacer it's just dumb... Plus you have all the genesis chamber triggers one could ask for.

Would you consider Revel in Riches for this?

@Magnivore It's honestly not needed... 9 times out of 10 if I kill 10 of their creatures I'll have had done 2 damage per creature that died. Also I have to keep that enchantment alive for a whole turn in order for the ability to trigger.

DrkNinja That's what I figured. It was mentioned in a video on YouTube and figured I'd ask, though it's definitely too slow. To be clear though my suggestion was just for mana gain and not necessarily a wincon, since you can tap Forbidden Orchard to act as the first half of Manamorphose and our Hunted Phantasm becomes mana-positive. I'm sure it has a place somewhere though.

Imp_Storm: I could see myself swapping out Blood Seeker for it, since it needs different removal.

@Imp_Storm & NoSoyYucateco #Stolen. Enchantments are just more resilient to destruction.

Also, I'm having problems getting to my Illness, any suggestions?

DrkNinja there really isn't a good way that i have found. that being said learn to play around it. Trespasser's Curse opened a few new turn orders for my deck. You could also look at running Virulent Plague, more expensive but has the same effect. bumps your count of illness to 5 effectively.

NoSoyYucateco that is exactly what i swapped it with.

DrkNinja: My backup plan for that is usually Ghostly Prison or Detention Sphere, because there really isn't a good way to tutor for it that doesn't cost too much. Running 4 of, in my playtests, was not worth it, because multiple copies are almost always useless. Maybe try Zealous Persecution?

Btw I replaced my Blood Seekers with Trespasser's Curse and it seems to work well, as enchant removal isn't very big in modern.
