Sideboard

Instant (2)


This is a classic UW Tron control deck that utilizes both Polymorph and Gifts Ungiven + Unburial Rites to get our heavy beaters out that will warp the board state.
- Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite: Doubles as a wrath and creature that boosts our token creatures.
  • Iona, Shield of Emeria: Does not permit our opponent to cast their primary colors. This is typically our best win condition target.

  • Emrakul, the Aeons Torn: Annihilator 6 completely wipes their board state.

  • Kozilek, Butcher of Truth: Annihilator 4 wipes their board state as well.

  • Academy Ruins + Mindslaver : Commonly known as the Mindslaver lock. With 12 mana we can continuously control our opponent's turn and win by milling them or some other means.

  • Karn Liberated: Not typically a win condition in and of itself, but if we need to restart the game and give us an advantage, then we can do that.

  • Gifts Ungiven: Allows us to search for what we need to get into position to win the game. We can search for a win-con such as a creature and Unburial Rites, or for a wrath effect, or a counterspell/removal.

  • Polymorph: Allows us to pull one of our creatures directly from our deck.

  • Expedition Map: Gives us the land we need when we need it.

  • Condescend: Not a strong counterspell typically, but as our mana is likely to exceed our opponents it becomes one. Furthermore, the scrying of the top deck can make all the difference in landing a card we need to win.

  • Path to Exile: We are playing white... need I say more?

  • Remand: One of the best tempo counterspells in the game. We play this early or when our opponent taps for their win-condition and also net a card from our library in the process.

  • Spell Snare: Another cheap counterspell that allows us to control the early game. Particularly useful against Tarmogoyf or any other 2 CMC spell (e.g., Grand Abolisher, Silence, Rest in Peace, Hallowed Moonlight , etc . . .).

  • Repeal: Get rid of that pesky plainswalker or other non-creature permanent.

  • Day of Judgment

  • Supreme Verdict: Our best wrath card.

  • Cyclonic Rift

  • God's Wrath: Pull this from the sideboard when we need an extra wrath spell.

  • Platinum Angel: You may have noticed this lil kid is not considered a win-con. That is because the angel does not help us win the game, rather it helps us stall the game typically.

  • Timely Reinforcements: I did not neglect this. We use our life as a resource as much as mana and tutors. Timely Reinforcvements lets us stabilize the game, our life, and advances our board state towards our win-condition cards or tutors that get us a win-condition.
