Thank you, Quadsimotto! The Sideboard was something I was really skeptical about when putting together the list, and it's great to know it looks solid! As you mentioned, it has a lot of cards that are actually dedicated to the worst matchups for this deck, while still providing additional power to already favored matches. Thank you for the +1 and feedback! :)

I usually try to give advice in that one area but this looks ...well really well thought out. I do not know if you are running into any combo decks in your area. But in mine a couple of guys are just tearing up FNM's with their own versions of it. My current deck(ill be playing something way different for me next time i am in the USA) has a sideboard geared solely to beat that combo. In the event that you are running into that and losing games to it. I would recommend Erase.

They haven't become a problem yet; however, players are starting to dip their toes into it around my meta. Banishing Light still has a place here for that reason, but if they become a real issue, Erase is an excellent solution, so thank you for the suggestion! :D

I feel like Godsend is a great Abzan sideboard card if your meta is midrangey. I haven't seen any Abzan decks run it and I'm not sure why. In the mirror, I don't know how the deck beats Godsend aside from Banishing Light or Utter End.

Could you do me a favor and check out my abzan midrange deck? It's pretty standard as I haven't actually built it yet so I haven't really been able to test around with it yet. Rhino and Whip It's an abzan midrange that can change into abzan control or abzan whip. For your deck though what do you think about adding a second Wingmate Roc? He's just such a solid card and is a great follow up to Siege Rhino

I do not like your hatred of Sylvan Caryatid in here. I understand drawing him turn 6 sucks, but he's fantastic for getting your walkers out earlier, he's great against aggro and he fixes your mana. I think it's a mistake not including him but to each their own. Consider Garruk, Apex Predator, an extra Nissa, Worldwaker, Palace Siege does work against U/B control, and another Utter End.

Also, you have way too man tap lands...9 should be max. You have 13. Slows the deck way way down and allows you to get decimated by W/U decks.

It's not a hatred, rochdalekilla9, just some common knowledge. You don't want to be casting an End Hostilities with your own Sylvan Caryatid out there. The idea of this deck is actually very straight forward and this Archetype has been seeing a high amount of success.
The deck is slow. So the Scry lands I have are fine. The additional WBG Tri is to replace Caryatid to smooth mana, and the high number of Scrys sculpt my draw to find the answer I need.
Garruk is a consideration and have been looking for a place in the side, but the Mainboard is pretty much locked, save the addition of another Charm and an Utter End. Thank you for your suggestions though! :)

Which is why I said "Seth Manfield obliged" in the description echo9999 :P just because a deck is seen on Pro Tour doesn't mean people can't use it...

I really like the sideboard of this. You can give the opposition a completely different look. from midrange to boardwipey control, or even walk them out with by adding in liliana and the other ajani. Best looking sideboard i have seen in some time. Plus one.
