Planeswalker (2)


The idea is to ramp fast into a Prophet of Kruphix, proceed to drop creatures on your opponent's end steps while landing Planeswalkers and Primeval Bounty on your turns.

For sideboard--

Against Control (U/W, Esper or American):
-Cyclonic Rift x3
-Polukranos, World Eater x4
-Prime Speaker Zegana x2
+Naturlize x2
+Negate x2
+Witchstalker x3
+Aetherling x2

WHY --Polukranos can really eat up our mana when we really need to be landing threats. We side out Polukranos and Zegana because we want our planeswalkers to do the heavy lifting for card advantage. Zegana will just sit dead in your hand after you ramp and run into a wrath effect so we really want to focus on landing an Aetherling with counter back up. We side in our Negates and Naturalize to make the control deck 2 for 1 itself.

Against Red Deck Wins:
-Cyclonic Rift x4
-Kalonian Hydra x2
-Sylvan Primordial x2
+Rapid Hybridization x3
+Witchstalker x2
+Nylea's Disciple x3

WHY --Sylvan Primordial is way too slow, even with our ramp, to handle such an aggressive deck. We also side out the Kalonian because again, the big fellows are just too slow for this match up. Cyclonic Rift also come out because as much as it can stem the bleeding, we never get to overload it for full value. We bring in the Rapid's, Witchstalkers and Disciples for two reasons, disrupt devotion and gain life. Witchstalkers may not benefit from the lack of blue or black effect, but it is a 3/3 beater that can't get burned. They also curve great into a Nylea's disciple where we try to get as much life as possible from our green devotion.

Against Mono-Black:
-Primeval Bounty x2
-Kalonian Hydra x2
-Prime Speaker Zegana x2
-Sylvan Primordial x2
+Rapid Hybridization x3
+Witchstalker x3
+Aetherling x2

WHY --We do a lot of siding for Mono-Black. Our goal is to really be the aggro deck, but prepare for late game. We side out some big guys but bring in the evasive ones. We also want to trade one for one on their threats. They play D. Demon, we kill it with Rapid. They start pack ratting, we overload a cyclonic rift. We trade out our slower, more mana demanding cards for "hard to kill" creatures to really turn off their removal. We either kill on turn 5 or we push into late game with our Aetherling and Planeswalkers.

Against R/G Monsters:
-Jace, Architect of Thought x2
-Garruk, Caller of Beasts x1
+Rapid Hybridization x3

WHY --Our planeswalkers die way too easy and are too slow for this matchup. They don't even provide a good target because our opponent is going to send everything at us. We need the Rapid Hybridization and Cyclonic Rift for the Ghor-Clan Bloodrush, their Polukranos' and Stormbreath Dragons. We need to really disrupt their tempo. We have to land a Prophet early to catch up with their devotion ramp and flash in our own beaters for blockers. So long as we're ahead in the creature race, we can take down their planewalkers and answer their Monsters.
