Need help with an Anti Jund sideboard.
Deck Help forum

My meta, aside from me, is 100% Jund.
To be honest I suck at building sideboards and I need some help fighting the Jund colors.
Opponent's deck lists would include Olivia Voldaren , Rakdos Keyrune , Thragtusk (who Selesnya Charm answers well), Deathrite Shaman , etc.
Mostly I'm interested in combating boardwipes. Blasphemous Act and Bonfire of the Damned cause me real problems.
The Incredible Bulk's colors are G/W so any suggestions that fit the colors would help. Thanks in advance.

I mean I could Rootborn Defenses but there's not much to get.

Then maybe Witchbane Orb to avoid being bonfired. card:Heroes' Reunion to stay alive?

Eh, I've never been fond of lifegain purely for lifegain. I'd rather have flicker on Thragtusk if I wanted to gain life.

Oh lol I probably should have looked at your deck for more than a couple seconds, Cloudshift good sir!

what are you playing? Need to get an idea of what colors you are diving into to combat jund. I hope you aren't playing jund yourself....lol

You could always make your sideboard blue and bantify this deck against decks you feel the need to..... That'd drive the price up quite a bit to make it work though

Not really interested in jumping on the Bant-wagon. Those decklists seem far too inconsistent for my liking.

my advice would be to play to your strengths. mainboard Loxodon Smiter will put in work against jund. Celestial Purge is a great way to deal with their planeswalkers or olivias, or even their activated runes. As simple as this seems, try not to walk into their board wipes, hold back creatures to throw down when you anticipate them playing one.
Sigarda, Host of Herons is another great pick. Silverblade Paladin is great due to their lack of instant speed spot removal (i think?). I think this problem can be solved by adjusting your main to better combat jund.

Celestial Purge is not standard anymore. Personally the lifegain from Centaur Healer is far more relevant than Loxodon Smiter , one more p/t doesn't bother me. Silverblade Paladin , while being good, is more suited for the G/W aggro version. Not so much in the rampy version.

how about the WX instant that redirects X damage? that seems pretty nasty to a jund player

Oh! I really like that. Divine Deflection would absolutely HOSE Bonfire of the Damned even if I could only stop some of the damage. It would also redirect the Blasphemous Act .
It also gives me something to do with my mana when I'm being careful of the board wipes.
Actually thinking of mainboarding some of those.

One I like to board every now and then is Creeping Renaissance . Sure it's 5 mana and not an instant answer to a board wipe but you get everything back to play again.

Hmmmm against boardwipes you could try card:Faith's Reward but that card isn't all that great....
