Lats' and 'burts guide to sideboarding with the new build My modifications are in italics!

mill(Jacerator Mainly): +3 Iona +4 Acidic (howl mines font of myth) -1 verdant -2 wall - 4 Sphinx

Boros: +2 Day, +2 Grizzled,+2 wall,+2 mycoid, -4 negate - 1 Iona -1verdant -2 sphinx (you have to control it fast in order to win...)

RDW: +2 Grizzled,+2 wall,+2 mycoid, -4 negate - 1 Iona -1verdant

WW: +3 Iona +2 Day +2 wall -3 Sphinx -4 negate

Naya: +2 Day -1 Iona -1 Knight of the rel

Spread 'em: +4 acadic slime, -1 Baneslayer Angel, -2 Sphinx of the Steel Wind, -1 Verdent Catacombs (BSA is taken out, because of removal of your white sources)

5 color cascade: +4 acadic slime -2 Wall of revrence -1 Sphinx of the Steel Wind -1 Iona (this is a really bad matchup, so unless you are really REALLY lucky, you have about 30% chance at winning IMO

Sorry, I meant this article, not posted on the boards...

http://mtgsalvation.com/1133-off-top...y-testing.html

Here was his tested build

Deck
Ramp 4 Rampant Growth 4 Khalni Heart Expedition 3 Trapmaker's Snare 4 Harrow 4 Bloodbraid Elf 4 Captured Sunlight Bombz 4 Summoning Trap 3 Bogardan Hellkite 4 Sphinx of the Steel Wind 3 Empyrial Archangel	Land 4 Misty Rainforest 2 Scalding Tarn 2 Plains 2 Island 2 Swamp 2 Mountain 10 Forest

I've been playing a modified version of the OP deck..

Deck
Lands 3 Misty Rainforest 10 Forest 1 Swamp 1 Island 4 Plains 4 Sunpetal Grove Creatures 4 Sphinx of the Steel Wind 4 Iona, Shield of Emeria 3 Birds of Paradise 4 Noble Hierarch 4 Mycoid Shepherd Spells 4 Summoning Trap 4 Rampant Growth 2 Harrow 3 Trapmaker's Snare 2 Martial Coup 3 Trace of Abundance SB: 2 Day of Judgment 2 Martial Coup 4 Negate 4 Celestial Purge 3 Obelisk of Alara

Kburts · 10-30-2009, 08:28 PM

yeah, the martial coup might do allot of damage but Obelisk of alara doesn't really diserve a SB slot... It is not very good

negate and purge are good though, i was thinking of replacing the SB'd obelisk with a Island, for when i put in the Negates... thoughts?

EDIT: Obelisk of alara is VS RDW right?

SpeedTree · 10-30-2009, 10:43 PM

why not run Empyrial archangel?

Kburts · 10-30-2009, 10:48 PM

tbh, because I would rater play Sphinx of the steel wind... What would I cut to play it?

scratch that.. looking at the card, it has shroud, I will try it in the board insead of Progenetis, but i don't know how it will work out

frychikn · 10-31-2009, 01:49 AM

the thing with sphinx is its impossible to lose against jund with it even if its your only creature. the only removal that kills sphinx but doesnt kill the angel is path.

KriggY · 10-31-2009, 02:00 AM

Why not progenitus md or darskteel colossus? I think you dont have to care about manacost

What would you take out? Prog wouldn't be able to be hard casted like all the other targets.

Iona and Sphinx are not coming out, they auto win a lot of matches. I tried Empyrial Archangel but was really under whelmed by her.

Martial coup has been really good, and is great in the mirror. I honestly haven't used Obelisk, but I'd assume it was for RDW

KriggY · 10-31-2009, 08:43 AM

I dont think it cant be hardcasted is problem here.
I would play him over shepherd, if I would to play this deck. Problem is, you have nothing how to stop aggro. I mean you dont have any removal to stop bushvacker boros or RDW and 2 DoJ and 2 coups in SB dont solve this problem

dark_myth44 · 10-31-2009, 09:09 AM

ummmmmm 3rd turn sherperd is pretty good vs aggro and so is baneslayer
i would play the same build but -1 trace +1 trap maker's snare...also i dont see how this deck loses to jund

The Tezzerator · 10-31-2009, 09:12 AM

i would try testing out Sphinx of Jwar isle

dark_myth44 · 10-31-2009, 09:24 AM

yes sphinx could be better in teh baneslayer spot but steel wind and iona are the bane of the deck

- question can your oponent path in respose to you playing iona and naming white? or does the ability never hit the stack

Kburts · 10-31-2009, 11:13 AM

ability does not hit the stack, so no your opponent cannot

MD'ing Progenetis is IMO a bad idea, I dont even really know why It is in the board, because once it gets into your hand, you can't do anything with it.

Empyral Archangel does not seem to do anything VS opponents.

~~This deck wins to Jund like 70% of the time~~ edit: no it does not, it wins about %40...

VS aggro this deck has mycoid sheppards, I had 2 down and my opponent Pulse'd them, then conceded.
