Hi all,
Preparing for the MTG Origins game day and would appreciate help with my SB. I predict that there would be a lot of Ensoul Artifact decks and a heroic deck (my worst match up).
Here's the link to my deck: Red Eyes Atarka Dragon
Thank in advance!
I'd probably main board the Wild Slash over the Roast in general. Other than that, bringing in things like Anger of the Gods and other removal is the beat bet. Just have to take care of their creatures

Thanks for all the comments guys. Finally done with our game day and this deck won it. :) This is all thanks to a timely top deck of Barrage of Boulders to wipe the board off those pesky thopter tokens.

Unravel the Aether is good against Ensoul Artifact, especially because it can hit an Ensouled Darksteel Citadel. You already have Roast, but Roast is well-situated against Heroic; you can usually kill their guy with it even if it has a few counters and after they've already contributed a few cards worth to it. Wild Slash, which you're already running, is also great against Heroic if you can snap it off when they're tapped out early on in the game. Additionally, this probably doesn't fit the theme of your deck at all, but Whisperwood Elemental is often very good against heroic, because cards like Gods Willing can't give their creatures protection from colorless manifests. If you're really worried about getting annihilated by Thopters, you could try running Windstorm, although I haven't tried that and I'm not sure how good it is. Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is also good against tokens in general but he's probably too slow.
