Sideboard for mono black

Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 22, 2014, 11:16 a.m. by rolypolyguy

Been running a mono black for a while and don't really know what to do for a side board. I know Dark Betrayal should be there but I have no clue what else to add.

A lot of it depends on your local meta. What are other people at your LGS playing a lot? Throw cards in your sideboard to respond to them.

Ratchet Bomb is usually a good bet.

Do you play FNM often? If you do, you should let others know what decks you typically play against to make a good sideboard

Also, paste your deck to that we can see your main deck options... :)

In Modern, you see sideboards with Pithing Needle , Ratchet Bomb , Infest , Damnation and Deathmark .

Regarding Standard, lots of folks use Dark Betrayal , Lifebane Zombie , Pithing Needle , Ratchet Bomb , Duress and Doom Blade . I'd also recommend the new Drown in Sorrow .

But that really depends on your deck and, above all, your metagame...
