Standard Dimir Control (Sideboard Help)
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 3, 2013, 2:39 a.m. by Beetall
Hey everyone, just putting the finishing touches together for my standard UB control deck, I think I'm done with tweaking the mainboard. Now that this deck has the upper hand against MUD and MBD, (imo) I need help deciding on my last 6 slots for my sideboard. [the deck-description is a work-in-progress]
deck-large: the-new-meta
Currently, this is how the sideboard works ---
(Against MUD) === -2x Haunted Plate Mail , -1x Thoughtseize ....... +3x Gainsay
(Against MBD) === (I haven't decided what to remove yet...) +2x Negate , +1x Pithing Needle (for Whip of Erebos )
(Against Esper) === -3x Devour Flesh , -4x Hero's Downfall ....... +2x Gainsay , +2x Negate , +2x AEtherling ------ I'm considering adding 1x Haunted Plate Mail sideboard for this matchup to dodge verdict and/or trade with blood baron...
That being said, what other decks should I be worried about? Should I put more low-drop removals like doom blades in side, should I add more threats, should I add specific cards for certain matchups?
Finally, if you have time to playtest and you beat this deck, what card could I add that could turn the tide against YOUR deck?
All feedback is greatly appreciated!

MUD = Mono-Blue-Devotion (U means blue since B is taken to mean black)
therefore, MBD = Mono-Black-Devotion

Oh, it means mono. Should have figured that with the new standard.

This is what I am running to counter the current meta, its working in forge games and at FNM and does surprisingly well against Non MUD/MBD decks. Dimir Devotion Destroyer it is however admittedly week against control decks. which I am currently working on I just have to buy a few cards.

What does M stand for in the MUD and MBD?
