Mainboard or Sideboard?

Deck Help forum

I refer to my deck: Revel In The Power Of A Jund Blitzkrieg

I'm currently trying to determine which of these cards should be mainboarded and which should be sided, i have three slots left in my main:

3x Dreadbore

2x Nighthowler

1x Whip of Erebos

Give the deck a quick glance, and let me know what you think, cheers.

I'd go Whip and Nighthowler and have the Dreadbores ready to replace putrefy in a longer game, personally.

Replace Putrefy ? And how can you know if a game will last longer or not, before you play it.

And I agree, I think the whip and the horsey are a little better for the mainboard, particuarly if i find myself against control or midrange. There will still be siding to do, of course but I think that's the best set up if I don't know what I'll be facing.

Sorry, meant Abrupt Decay , and since you only sideboard after the second game, you will know whether you are facing the aggro deck where Decay shines or a midrange/control that relies on much higher costing cards.

What if they have Detention Sphere ? or similar, Would it still be worth keeping in the decays, i'm uncertain.

Depends on the deck your facing, really. Detention Sphere is a staple of control, so maybe you can keep Abrupt Decay in that match-up and change Putrefy for dreadbore, since those rely more on planeswalkers or Aetherling? idk.
