Sideboards against bloom titan

Modern forum

I just watched Wegde's deck tech on bloom titan (here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=doJYUSX2EYA) ,and Wegde is really good at making card, and decks seem really powerful. My question is how to hose bloom titan.

Interaction.

Whether through Counter Magic or Burn.

Blood Moon is also really good.

Even land hate like Tectonic Edge can be useful but played around if your opponent is skilled enough.

Anything that involves land hate, search hate, artifact hate and creature removal.

Depends what you're playing. Counterspells and Titan removal will do wonders, and Blood Moon is the best of the best.

Yeah. Blood Moon Is the bigge. 0% Chance Amulet can play through it. They have to find an answer. Aven Mindcensor is also pretty good. It turns of Summoner's Pact, Primeval Titan, and Tolaria West.

In theory, Torpor Orb hoses the Prime Time ETB. They have a Pact/Hive Mind alt win con, tho.

Yeah, except he pulled the bullshit of "find my Vesuva + Slayers' Stronghold to kill you in the top four cards". Hampton deserved to win, but what happens happens.

The answers from the Bloom deck are generally green enchantment destruction and Swan Song, so treat that as you will.

Chalice of the Void is another surprisingly decent sideboard option, because it stops Pact of Negation and Summoner's Pact (And maybe even Pact of the Titan), which are quite essential to that deck as ways of finding Primeval Titan and protecting one, in addition to being a kill with Hive Mind.

@GlistenerAgent Yeah that was his like 2% out. I know personally I lost my mind lol. Though it should have been way over, back when Hampton could have just taken Amulet and bloom leaving him with a garbage hand.

I've been playing the deck on Untap, It's confusing as hell to play but can easily fold to discard.

I had multiple T1-3 Titans.

Simian for an Amulet, Bounce land into Summer Bloom and then titan.

How about a turn one kill?

Spirit Guide --> Amulet --> Bounce land --> Bloom --> Hive Mind --> Pact, go.

Bloom titan is very strong but very complex as well im building it and have proxies as a deck to test and I still miss things the deck has a couple different wins on two opposite sides of the spectrum which is great to see something that versatile. As stated by others discard hurts and jesse Hampton shouldve won with those small odds but sometimes fate isn't your way. Blood moon effects such as magus of the moon as well just hose it with i believe it's 1 basic forest so ya blood moon is a train wreck but nice to see bloom running strong post ban.

I play G devotion and can't beat it. i have no answers for prime time, though i do run Unravel the Aether. any ideas? i could splash for Blood moon but then it would be pretty difficult to cast my crux or my hydra.

From the sounds of it I'll assume you play the beat down version of green devotion over the combo version. It's a tough matchup usually I try to hate on their artifacts with Acidic Slime in the combo version of mono green devotion usually fetching for it with Primal Command. Personally though the best results I've had against bloom titan is my naya genesis wave combo deck due to Path to Exile. Overall the key to bloom titan is Amulet of Vigor in the early game with more options to fetch and play whats neccessary or get the mana to combo as the game goes later. however the latter the game goes the less potent some of its combos get as you can either answer them or at least survive and retaliate. I hope this comment helps you. Blood Moon does work o stop their lands and will probably advantage you more than hinder you.

overall hand disruption is the most effective method of slowing it down and stopping it in its tracks.
