Sideboard


Thromok relies on devouring creatures to become powerful, and requires 5 creatures for lethal commander (25) damage, and 7 creatures for 49 damage to kill players at their starting life total. Thromok enters with x^2 counters, where x is the number of creatures sacrificed to him. The deck goes through a couple steps, those being:

  1. Ramp. Most ramp spells in the deck are dorks or creature based, leaving fodder for Thromok after they tutor out lands, such as wood elves.
  2. Create tokens to sacrifice to Thromok. This deck has a subtheme of saprolings/goblins, so those will be the primary types of fodder.
  3. Play Thromok. It is advisable to have commander protection or wait until removal is already played, since he is vulnerable after entering the battlefield.
  4. Attach utility equipment and use nonbasic lands to give haste, trample, and make Thromok unblockable.
  5. There is a subset of cards similar to fling that are used in response to removal to outright kill the player attempting to remove Thromok (use for politics). Spells like Chandra's ignition and soul's fire can be used anytime as they do not require sacrificing Thromok.
  6. Trample over your opponents!

I am looking for advice on obvious fits to this deck that I have missed. This deck slightly favors sacrificing Thromok to kill players outright rather than attacking, but the former is a backup to the latter. In addition, mana fixing advice and consistency tips are heavily appreciated.
