Sideboard for playtesing
TappedOut forum

I often want to playtest against powerful Modern decks to see how my Jund deck would perform in a real life match situation, and the key for a lot of match ups when playing Jund is the proper use of the sideboard, but I have no way of testing it. Similarly, I can't test how resilient my decks are to others' sideboards. I don't know whether or not this is a realistic possibility, but I think an option to sideboard in order to playtest would be really helpful to myself and others in determining a deck's effectiveness.

What I do is make a copy of the decks so I can edit the deck to sideboard in the cards I need.

Droxium I did design the list myself. Admittedly, most Jund decks are very similar, but that doesn't mean that all Jund decks are netdecked. At no point did I look at any list online and copy it. Also, although Jund is a strong archetype, it does have weaknesses. Its strength comes from being able to respond to those threats with the sideboard. Thus, the sideboard is very important to a Jund deck.
GoldGhost012 That is actually a good idea. I may do that if this isn't implemented. However, I feel that it could save a load of hassle having a sideboard option, rather than having to copy a deck, then go through the hassle of editing it between games one and two, then having to edit it back or delete it afterwards.

although that isnt a bad idea, it would take a lot less time if there was an option to "unlock" the sideboard and switch cards in and out rather than making a whole new deck and rearranging the cards

That's what I was thinking notamardybum. I feel that would be really helpful.

I too vote too have this feature implemented. I find it very important to test the true strengths of each deck, as once game 1 goes, games 2 and 3 can easily destroy you because of sideboard cards.

Are you talking about your, "it isn't a netdeck even though it really is"? If so, then you don't need a sideboard since that deck is overpowered. Anyways, i like the idea. yeaGO!: would this be possible to implement?
