Ok so here's the deck:
Here's the question:
- What would I be better off using to side against Fish and Elves, Engineered Explosives or Whipflare since most of my creatures are artifacts? Leaning towards the explosives but I'm not quite sure.
A boardwipe (even a selective one like Whipflare) seems like it will incur in a bit too much friendly fire for your deck. And as VampireArmy mentioned, damage-based sweepers won't always be enough. Lightning Bolt can usually take out a key piece in either gameplan if you're considering a red splash. Path to Exile works too, though that one's better against Fish than it is Elves. The key is to slow them down before they hit critical mass.
VampireArmy says... #2
They both can easily go above 2 toughness so flare is less ideal.
Your ideal line of play is to pick off important cards on turns 1-3 and set up your wipe from there. Kill all lords on both decks
Kill mana dudes on elves
Im not sure about fish but i imagine they'll be trying to lock your mana out? EE takes that to
