and i can't decide!!!!!
my "top level" options are: Bogles, affinity and living end.
according to this screenshot of the meta breakdown bogles has a minutely lower winrate and is less represented in the meta and so less people will dedicate sideboard for the matchup, but affinity has the higher win rate the higher consistency and more likely to lose games 2 and 3

i am also considering borrowing the parts to turn my living end deck into living twin for the confusion factor but that would be hard as the first of my 5 PPTQ's is in 9 days

Bogles, because obviously.
Also, it's a good metagame choice. No Mountain players are beating you.

well GlistenerAgent that's assuming no skred matchups specifically the Blasphemous Act varients, i also put 2 Runed Halo in the board as Leyline of Sanctity 4+5 against liliana geths verdict and burn but also can name goyf etc with it

Ah, forgot about that format staple. :/
Probably just Dryad Arbor their Liliana's, right? That should be plenty good enough. Runed Halo is still good for combo matchups, though.

my favourite line of play is Runed Halo naming Pestermite followed by Runed Halo naming Deceiver Exarch

... And then losing to Tasigur or Tarmogoyf or plain old Vendilion Clique. :)

I wouldn't worry too much about a relatively unplayed deck's variants.
Yeah, you might run into one, but the higher chance is... well... everything else on that list.

the highest chance is "other" skred is among "other"

I don't think I've ever intentionally dedicated slots to Bogles, but I do know that heaps of people play Spellskite, and that's a bigger problem than Liliana of the Veil, which is still a huge problem.

It's the reason I always side in a singleton stony game 2 and if I see no skite I side it out game 3

Oh good, now we can beat you game three with our skites that we didn't draw in game two.

I would probably say Boggles if you're deciding between it and Affinity. Less hate, harder to beat, better games 2 and 3.
