Haven’t done it before but am certainly open to the idea. ashtondagod@gmail.com

How do you sideboard against G/x tron?

My local meta is full of G/x tron, humans, storm and random decks like ponza, elves, burn and graveyard decks but definitely an overabundance of tron and humans.

What are some recommended sb cards?

Also, I wanted to ask when you’d want a Ghostfire Blade in the side?

We’re favored. A Jund pilot smart to us will probably win Game 1, which is fixable with an extra Grounds over Sea Gate #2. Post-board it’s a major slog for them. Their best card is Last Hope for keeping Scourge off the table. From my Worcester list, cut Chalice, Mimic, Guide; bring in everything but three Bombs.

How do you consider the jund matchup or BGx by extension ?

And how do you sideboard against ?

Thank you, cheers from France.

u already beat counterspell decks

Haha, you’ll have to figure that one out yourself. But here’s a couple hints: the Kiki matchup is good and they won’t win through a removal spell! TTB, on the other hand, is a card we really just don’t beat.

Nope, but plenty of written content; check the related tags at the bottom of the article.

My apologies, I must have forgotten that part. Do you have any recorded gameplay of you playing the deck? I think it would be very beneficial to watch a seasoned pilot.

Assuming you mean Counters Company, I laid out a detailed plan in the article.

Against Affinity Chalice is for 0 and then 1 anyway so it doesn’t clash with Needle. Against PW decks with lots of one-drops (basically just UWx Control) the Chalice on 1 will stop them enough if it sticks and Needle can then be slammed as back-up should Chalice be removed.

Thanks for the reply! When boarding in needle/relic but keeping chalice in the deck? Are you just hoping you get to draw and cast a relic/needle before you drop a chalice?

You can Surgical your own Scourges to “draw 4.” Except you’re not just drawing four blind cards, you’re drawing some of the four best cards in your deck vs removal-heavy opponents. That’s why the card comes in against opponents heavy on removal who are likely to have ways to put Scourge into the graveyard after siding (Lili; Logic Knot; Verdict; etc.). It also has applications against Traverse, Snapcaster, Last Hope, K-Command, etc. I wouldn’t board it in against decks where it can never hit anything in their graveyard to break even on cards, but it still comes in against decks with only a few targets that are also able to interact with Scourge. And yeah, great vs Lantern, Storm, Dredge as you mentioned and fine vs combo decks like Valakut.

– 2x Wastes
– 4x Powder
– 3x Bomb if necessary (often not)
– Plenty of threats that do not require colorless mana, including Scourge which can be cast many times vs Moon decks

Moon is quite bad against us.
