B/G answers to Blood baron of vikopa
Standard forum
Posted on March 27, 2014, 8:56 p.m. by Dalektable
Recently i've been testing my newest standard build which has been doing great in all but one matchup, Orhov/Junk midrange. Why you may ask? Blood Baron of Vizkopa . I have seemingly no answers to him and every game against this causes me the loss, does anyone know of any answers to this card in golgari colors?

GoldGhost012 Only problem is, short of Boon Satyr in my deck every creature is either black, B/G or is a mana dork. I'm seriously struggling here, haha.

Or Devour Flesh if its the single solitary creature you can't deal with.

Devour Flesh seems like the best answer just make sure they don't have anything else on the field. :3

Thanks guys, i'll start running a couple copies in the sideboard.

Thoughtseize can be a very reasonable way to ensure blood baron never hits the field and so his protection is a non-issue

Hmmm or Deadly Recluse . That'a interesting, i like it ThatBlueMage. I think i'll instead try sticking a couple of those in the sideboard. Or maybe a couple Sedge Scorpion :p GoldGhost012

Rasta_Viking29 I think i'm going with this. It gives the most versatility, i'll be able to side it in for multiple match ups.

Since everyone else took the good ideas, I'll go out on a limb and mention that Ratchet Bomb
is generally good in that matchup. It shuts down Pack Rat
, and since their other threats are 4- or 5-drops (Desecration Demon
, Obzedat, Ghost Council
, and BBoV), you can leave it at 4 after you're out of Pack Rat territory and wait to see how you'll need it.
Otherwise edicts, fighting, hand hate, Deathtouch, and green fatties are your only options.

if you're running dredge good luck lol its hard to hit spells outside of creatures with that deck.

Erebos, God of the Dead shuts down the life gain... makes a little easier to deal with.

Pit Fight or Time to Feed could work.
