Sideboard


Place down enough threats so that your opponents has to deal with whatever comes out. Ramp is provided in the form of Elvish Mystic, Courser of Kruphix, and Gyre Sage (the latter of which can transition to beatdown after enough creatures take off). This ramp paves the way for Polukranos and Archangel. Eidolon of Blossoms is a fun little add-on for this deck, which (aside from itself being a cantrip creature) allows our removal (Blinding Light) and Courser to be cantrips. Selesnya Charm lets us punch through for the victory, provide a block in time of need, or exile a god/big critter if needbe. Ooze and Course both help Archangel trigger, which lets our team grow bigger and nastier.

Questions I'm currently facing:

A) Is this deck just a slower version of GR Monsters? I'd like to think it provides a better way of dealing with threats but is still faster than Esper Control, as it is not a control deck itself. Or is it?

B) can I actually win against esper boardwipe/elspeth? If so, what/how?

C) ways to deal with pro-white creatures (Stormbreath Dragon in particular, although Blood Bairn of Vizkopa as well). Maindecking Celestial Flare is an option, cause I don't want to lose every game 1 by having it on the sideboard, but what do I take out. Alternatively, Plummet?

D) Do I want either Ajani, Caller of the Pride, Ajani, Mentor of Heroes, or Elspeth, Sun's Champion...and if so, what do I cut?

E) Should I cut Eidolon of Blossoms for Advent of the Wurm? If I do, where do I get my card draw?
