Sideboard


Modification on Travis Woo's Pump combo but felt Kiln Fiend or Viashino Slaughtermaster was a better core focus fit than original Monastery Swiftspear or Blistercoil Weird due to easier swing for lethal, even if it's a turn later. Also adding in a more solid creature base so there is higher probability for a combo chain to hit.

"Best" Combo

T1= Mountain+Monastery Swiftspear or Blistercoil Weird

T2= Mountain+Mutagenic Growth x 2 +Titan's Strength or Brute Force + Assault Strobe

Monastery Swiftspear or Blistercoil Weird= Swing for 24 (Lethal)

Potential Combo

T1=Mountain+Monastery Swiftspear or Blistercoil Weird

T2=Mountain+Kiln Fiend (or Viashino Slaughtermaster ) (Swing for 1)

T3=Mountain+ Brute Force x 2+Mutagenic Growth x 2+Assault Strobe on either (or x 3 of other pumps in case of VS due to already having double strike)

Viashino Slaughtermaster = Swing for 24 or 26 (Lethal)

Blistercoil Weird = Swing for 32 (Lethal)

Monastery Swiftspear = Swing for 32 (Lethal)

Kiln Fiend = Swing for 52 (Lethal)

Secondary Strategy besides Burnout:Getting out a solid board state through sorcery/ combat. and pump effects to keep cheap drops relevant.

Sideboard is to counter spell heavy decks or special summons larger than already available removal.

Kiln Fiend / Viashino Slaughtermaster + Brute Force +Mutagenic Growth+Assault Strobe = T3 win

Monastery Swiftspear or Blistercoil Weird + Above listed pumps = T2 or 3 win

Went to my local comic shop; Toys from the Attic and went 6-2 with three separate best out of threes: 2-1 against an elves stack/aggro deck; 2-1 against a metalcraft artifacts deck and 2-0 against an affinity artifacts deck. Really happy with the decks performance and sideboard was able to accommodate well to those strategies. That having been said I'm wondering what the deck weak points are if anyone wants to help; I want to be sure I have a SB that can answer most decks; not just a niche few since I know Red is a good answer to artifacts anyways.
