Sideboarding against the meta.
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on June 10, 2015, 7:13 a.m. by Minelia5
I have a friend who is new to "competitive magic" (fnm), and isn't that good with sideboarding. I'm trying to write him a "cheat sheet" so he knows how to sideboard against meta decks, but all I can think of is esper dragons, mono red aggro, and atarka red. What else are meta decks atm? Thanks! Also, sideboard card suggestions are good too if you have any that are inexpensive. Thanks!
edit totally forgot to say this...he's playing R/U ensoul artifact combo

These are not necessarily suggestions, just options.
Barrage of Boulders, Arc Lightning or Seismic Rupture for decks with a lot of tokens like Jeskai, Mono-R, and Atarka Red.
Negate and Outpost Siege for control. Maybe Rending Volley to take out Dragonlord Ojutai.
I'm a fan of Polymorphist's Jest for Abzan and RG Dragons.
Anger of the Gods for lists running Deathmist Raptor + Den Protector.
Roast for Abzan and Tasigur, the Golden Fang.
Encase in Ice for RG Dragons, Abzan, and any other decks where it's relevant.

ha meecht that's perfect! Thanks a bunch! I'll make an order for the cards soon. Sadly, the board burn cards can kill most of his cards. I think their cards are more deadly though. Here's the deck

Sideboarding is complicated stuff. First off, knowing the deck your friend is playing will be quite helpful.
