Post-PTQ Notes
------------------------
Sideboard stuff used: Steel Sabotage; Rest in Peace; Oppressive Rays; Stony Silence
Glen Elendra didn't feature - too expensive; think need hard counter
Oppressive Rays didn't stall enough
More hard counter in sideboard?
Oblivion Ring for Kaaaaaaaaahn

Maybe take out Liege's - switch up to more flyers (Flash effect comes from Mindcensor)

    Have a think about dismember for the side board

      But it's the wrong colours ;_;
      What would you take out of the sideboard to put this in?
      -
      Btw, I'm not around Thursday - Sunday, so if you want to do Modern this week, best be Weds eve.

        It's colourless...

          Aye so it's not White or Blue :o)
          T'is just me cradling the flavour of the deck, over actual win-ability (again).

    Also should I bring in 4 Adarkar Wastes ?

      GingerDan (11-Jul-2014 17:10)

      I think as I only have 10 Plans or Islands, and Glacial Fortress and Nimbus Maze play off that, I think that's enough and I'll leave as be. But if anyone thinks to the otherwise?

    GingerDan (11-Jul-2014 12:02)

    Thinking of throwing some Oppressive Rays into the Sideboard?

     
    • [avatar]
      GingerDan (11-Jul-2014 17:09)

      Now running 2x Oppressive Rays & 2x Suppression Fields - rather than just 3 Suppression fields

    Any thoughts on the sideboard? Any noteable missings/areas of meta-game that I'm not covering?

    I'm pretty sure that any of the Swords of X and Y are better than Steel of the godhead for a few reasons. Equipment can be reequiped if the creature dies. You can play equipment without having a creature, so you can use your mana better.


    I'm pretty sure Andy has some swords.

      I'll have a look. I just love Steel too much I think :(

        fair enough, it has to be fun...

          GingerDan (09-Jul-2014 11:34)

          Yeah I completely realise that my deck isn't going to be the best of the best - but I want to retain the original flavour I had, and Steel just fits way more than the Swords.
          After all, I'm going to the PTQ for the (hopefully!) fun experience. Not necessarily to win!

    Hindering Light for squadron hawk?

     
    • [avatar]
      GingerDan (09-Jul-2014 10:12)

      Yeah I might run a Squadron Hawk variant when we do a test-run evening. I guess Mana Leak + Hindering light is a bit too much counter...

        areckahn (09-Jul-2014 19:55)

        I'd definitely drop the hindering lights now.

      deleted_user_13 (09-Jul-2014 10:17)

      I have the 3x Path to Exile 3x Mana Leak  and I'll have some of the lands. I might also have some Marsh Flats.

        GingerDan (09-Jul-2014 11:25)

        Are Path & Leak up for swapping, or just to borrow?
        Was kinda hoping you still had some Hallowed Fountains and Geists!

        No worries - am sure we can figure stuff out when we do a test evening.

          deleted_user_13 (09-Jul-2014 11:58)

          I have 4 Geist, and I'm playing them all, they are just free wins in some games. I'll probably have some Fountains yes, but we'll have to look.

            GingerDan (09-Jul-2014 12:10)

            Ah yeah - didn't spot them in your gifts sideboard! No worries.

            Shall see what Andy and Gaz maybe have to lend, and then buy up the rest.
