2 Glare of Heresy or 2 Pithing needle

Deck Help forum

I need help with the sideboard of my deck Big Boros ( http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/devotion-to-boros-16-11-13-1/ ) . I'm torn between playing 2x Glare of Heresy and 1x Pithing Needle or 1x Glare of Heresy and 2x Pithing Needle ?

Comments would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure they serve the same purpose. Glare of Heresy is suitable against white decks that stack annoying permanents like Elspeth, Sun's Champion , Detention Sphere and Heliod, God of the Sun , while Pithing Needle can offer great support against any planeswalker (though temporary since it can be removed) and AEtherling . Depending on the meta where you play you could include one or another... or both. I'm not a big fun of one copy only though... the odds of drawing it are minimal.
