Sideboard


"The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything."

Disappear and reappear endless times with Roon of the Hidden Realm in a deck that uses and abuses ETB abilities to deal with almost any threat that can be thrown it's way. Magic.

Intro

The general aim is to generate more value than our opponents can deal with by:

  1. Drawing cards - To make sure I am likely to have an answer to whatever my opponents are doing - Mulldrifter, Cloudblazer, Ephara, God of the Polis, Prime Speaker Zegana and others keep the cards flowing.

  2. Recurring cards - Almost everything in the deck can be repeated any number of times using Eternal Witness, Karmic Guide, Reveillark and/or Body Double.

  3. Stealing opponent's spells - Perplexing Chimera and Puca's Mischief are both great cards for messing with other players. Both are relatively passive cards while on the board but both can warp the way my opponents play in a massive way. In many scenarios the threat of stealing permanents is better than actually stealing them.

  4. Copying creatures - Someone has a better board than you? Clone/copy their creatures and use them against them: Stunt Double, Body Double, Clone Legion and Rite of Replication all allow me to utilise whichever creature(s) I need to.

  5. Flicker/Blink abuse - Get the absolute maximum value from your creatures using a range of effects to take advantage of your ETB abilities: Deadeye Navigator, Panharmonicon, Strionic Resonator, Eerie Interlude, Ghostly Flicker and a number of other cards will let you turn even the modest Wall of Blossoms into a card drawing machine.
