| He looks like a natural Bantchantments destroyer, right? |
I've finally got my sideboard figured out for this weekend's tournament. We'll go over every card in it and talk about what kind of match ups I will bring it in for, but first, here it is:
Total Cards: 15
3 Dryad Militant
2 Rest in Peace
2 Fiend Hunter
4 War Priest of Thune
2 Frontline Medic
2 Nearheath Pilgrim
Dryad Militant: Hurts the UW/UWR flash decks and the U based control decks of the format. Not being able to flash back anything really hurts their card advantage program, and it completely blanks Snapcaster.
Rest in Peace: Also hurts the flash decks but is primarily there as a win condition against Junk Reanimator.
Fiend Hunter: Great against other aggro decks because it removes a threat and then can block well. Also has some utility against Jund because it can remove their good creatures (but I do admit that that's kind of weak).
War Priest of Thune: I actually love this guy. He's a 2/2 for 2 that fits on theme and destroys enchantments (which is extremely important with the popularity of Bantchantments). What's not to love?
Frontline Medic: This comes in against other aggro decks. Being able to alpha strike with all of my creatures gaining indestructability is extremely good. The opponent either takes a ton of damage of loses all of their creatures, while you still have yours for next turn.
Nearheath Pilgrim: This is probably my least favorite card in here, but he's still not bad. You can use him against other aggro decks to gain some extra life.
My two concerns with the sideboard are:
#1: I feel weak against Jund.
#2: I'm not sold on Nearheath Pilgrim. He may be better as an Oblivion Ring.
I'll keep testing the board and get back to you guys as to what I like better. I'm also going to be posting about my final playtesting sessions before Saturday. You guys will also be getting a full tournament report about Saturday as well, so look forward to that! Until then, any suggestions that you guys have are welcome. Please comment if you have any :)
See you guys later.
