Sideboarding againt the Eldrazi

Modern forum

As an infect player I love modern to my core and with the recent bans (my condolences) I am happy to find that my chances in the StarCityGames IQ are even higher. But what do I see... Mono-Black Eldrazi. Now this deck is wrecking modern with the new oath cards and the eldrazi are finding themselves becoming more and more prominent. I was wondering what cards everyone recommends in sideboard to cut down the new deck.

Painter's Servant. Shuts off their ancient tombs.

I have a feeling sideboards a going to have a lot of artifact hate and land destruction. Crumble to Dust will wreak havoc on Tron and Eldrazi decks.

Nothing. Just kill them.

Ya land destruction is the way to go.. We are dead in the water to it. That's why the Heartless Summoning variant is so good, because it's essentially another 4 of Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temple. So definitely plan on gearing up for enchantment removal, and land destruction. Rain of Tears, Tectonic Edge, Ghost Quarter.

Oh, I thought we were talking about Infect.

In general, land destruction and a proactive gameplan (just the latter if you're very fast).
