Sideboard to deal with white token decks
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 6, 2012, 9:28 a.m. by cryptichorror
I'm getting Master Craftsmen ready for FNM. I'm good except for my sideboard. My metagame mostly consists of several B/W spirit/human token decks. I would normally use Ratchet Bomb to clear out some tokens, but my deck is centered around Golem tokens as well. It's a Splicer - Shape Anew - Blightsteel Colossus deck. I hate to use Ratchet Bomb, because it will screw up the Shape Anew and reduce the chances of pulling Blightsteel Colossus, as he is my only artifact. Also, I don't want to wipe my Golems.
What are some sideboard suggestions for my deck?
Corrosive Gale would work on any deck based around spirits, but the humans are still kind of problematic. I suggest you have some Revoke Existences in the board to remove all of their enchantments increasing the size of the tokens and swords.

From someone who ran a G/W token deck, the biggest problem for me was Ratchet Bombs, but since you dont want to use it, then Corrosive Gale for spirits, and Curse of Death's Hold if you splashed black. But to take care of human tokens, Naturalize are great because it stops enchantments and artifacts, so no Honor of the Pure, Intangible Virtue, or Swords for them!

Suture Priest is cheap sideboard tech for any deck that pumps out a ton of creatures. It is in-color for your deck and synergizes with the splicers well. It might be worth testing out for you.

Sever the Bloodline if they run just one kind of token. also golem tokens have 3/3, white tokens 1/1 so you could run Carnifex Demon or Black Sun's Zenith without hurting yourself too much

Suture Priest, Oblivion Ring, Nevermore, if you swithed out your Green for Black: Black Sun's Zenith, Life's Finale, Curse of Death's Hold, and the best option Sever the Bloodline.
