Sideboard


Tempo style, Temur based deck. Designed to play Young Pyromancer and generate tokens with cheap cantrips to dig through the deck and fill the bin for Bedlam Reveler to gas back up in late game. Can also win of wide swing of tokens with Atarka's Command pumping them.

Reasoning behind certain card choices

Abrade - I feel its a good utility card for a one of in the main; being able to remove an artifact or become decent creature removal. Could see it being cut for sb, but I also have Grips in the side.

Roast - Chose Roast over Dismember because 4 life is super important/especially with the prevalence of Burn. Roast kills practically anything in modern right now so the flying cause is not too huge of a factor.

Izzet Charm / Electrolyze - both versatile spells help me dig through the deck. Can be removal, or additional reach. Possibly considered staples in tempo decks in this color.

Faithless Looting - Chose looting over Serum Visions for the ability to fill the bin for Bedlam Reveler. The flashback is also sweet in the case I need it.

Atarka's Command / Stormbreath Dragon - A Command is a really strong utility card in a list like this. It can provided added reach/shut down life gain coming off the sb, but primarily pumps the tokens off of Pyromancer to have a huge swing. For Stormbreath Dragon, I felt like I needed a large evasive threat to close out games that is hard for decks to remove. If it happens to go monstrous it just ends games.

Blood Moon - Steals games. Tron is a thing.

Manamorphose / Noxious Revival - Alright here is where things get sweet. I love manamorphose as a free cantrip to trigger Pyromancer, dig through the library, and fuel Bedlam Reveler. Seems like a natural fit. I really love Noxious Revival in this deck, because it provides so much utility becoming essentially an extra copy of any spell/creature in my list. It can be an extra bolt for that last bit of reach that players aren't calculating, or another Bedlam Reveler if I'm in top decking mode to gas back up. It can also be used proactively against graveyard focused decks like B/R Hollow One, Dredge, etc.

Overall, I really like the idea of this deck. I love tempo decks and their nuanced play-style. Really just trying to figure out how well this deck could be positioned as it is, or if I need to re-tune it into more of a midrange style deck with Goyf/Trackers/BBE etc. Also any help with the sideboard would be super appreciated since I am awful at building those.
