Temur Sideboard help!

Standard forum

Posted on Nov. 28, 2014, 3 p.m. by WicKid52

one of my friends is running a temur midrange build that performs abysmally to Abzan decks. Do you guys have any cards that could be sideboarded in to improve the matchup?

If siege rhino is your main problem I would suggest Disdainful Stroke, Temur Charm for the counter spell, or Clever Impersonator in order to make your own siege rhino.

I personally found that a well timed Polymorphist's Jest is great for killing off Siege Rhino / Wingmate Roc and a variety of others, though this depends on how big the blue splash in your friends Temur deck is.

Otherwise, Hornet Nest + Lightning Strike or even just Hornet Queen are great.

actually, there are three problems:

Wingmate Roc

Fleecemane Lion

Siege Rhino

These absolutely destroy him. Polymorphist's Jest might work, and Hornet Nest will definetely help.

You could always run Heir of the Wilds, Dragon Grip, and some Roar of Challenge (preferably) or Savage Punch.

I seem to be the only person keen on Icy Blast. Temur needs to race this match before planeswalkers take over. Tapping down all their creatures for 2 turns helps do exactly that. It lets you kill any planeswalkers that landed and then kill them.
