I tend to run 1/2 in the main and 3/2 in the side. It's just so filthy against the popular modern decks right now; I've been running Ghostly Prison as well and it's pretty much game over when you're able to successfully cast both.
Been playing 3x Suppression Field for the longest time now and have no problems with. In the case of mana tax issue, you already have the two mana we need to cast our aura when you cast it so I don't see the problem.
I play the full playset of supression fields in my mb. Supresion field answers sooooo many problem cards for us it is really stupid not to mainboard at least 3. answering combo creature shenanigans and planeswalkers as well as countless other things is huge and it buffs our guys ie ethereal armor the only matchup i board them out is burn for 3 spirit link and infect for PTE
That's impressive. Must not be a whole lot of jund variants at these tournys. If I ran no Arbor and no Leyline in the side I would get my head taken off where I play.
Do you guys pronounce "bogle" with a long "o" (like the words "dough" or "flow") or a short "o"-sound, (like the game "Boggle")? I've always pronounced it with a long "o", personally.

These days, some wizards are finding they have a little too much deck left at the end of their $$$.

Does anybody know who's running the primer and/or if its been updated lately? While incredibly useful and informative, some of the information is outdated and could use an update. Perhaps the section detailing meta matchups could be finished to include matchup tips/info for the current modern landscape.
going to pittsburg my sideboard will consist of 3 path to exile for agressive aggro 3 spirit link for burn and agressive decks and decks that cant deal more than 34-6 damage ad nauseum scapeshift. 3 gaddock teeg kick in nuts vs control, combos, big mana decks. 2 stony silencefor affinity tron. 2 beast within for tron and problem permanants. and 2natures claim affinity, and the mirror keep in mind im mainboarding 4 suppression fieldto deal with alot of our problem cards and decks game 1
I like playing Paths Main Deck, they're probably our only hope against decks like Twin and Bloom Titan.
how does splinter twin win with a suppression field on the table ? and as far as bloom titan goes i dont think it will be a popular deck at the gp and if i get matched against them and they forced to keep a slow hand i win and they get the nuts i lose game 2-3 i get paths

It depends which version of twin your playing. The combo isn't the only way twin wins. Suppression field can be a great card against it though.
Amulet will be a very popular deck at the GP or at least it will be in the later rounds. It's probably the best deck if piloted correctly and is a nightmare matchup. Path gets the titan and teeg gets hive mind but its just so fast. From my experience, you have to draw an almost perfect hand. Tolaria West into Chalice. Sweepers. There's just so many ways it wins. You might not see much of it in the first few rounds though.
Trifas - I agree. I like path a lot right now. Seems to be pretty well positioned. Field as well.

Oh, sorry, you're right, Suppression Field does help a lot against Twin, specially on Game 1 when they're usually more combo focused. If you believe there's room for it, I'd still try to stick some Paths in the maindeck, but I guess SField helps against a wider number of decks.
So, this Friday I decided to bring my Boggles deck to FNM and I would like to share my results.
Round one verses Affinity. 2-1.
Game one he had 5 artifacts on turn one and was able to block until he got a fed ravager set up and went in for the kill.
Game two I brought in my board and was able to prevent him from going off with Stony Silence.
Game three. I guess he did not have any anti-Boggles in his sideboard since I saw none and he failed to get a strong position before I had a 10,8 elf with trample and all of the yumminess. We shook hands and I went to my next game.
Round 2 with W/B Self Sacrifice 1-2
Game one- He used a sacrifice combo plus used ways to make me have to sacrifice as well. Very bad first game.
Game two- Brought in Laylines to fight the Lilly and other cards he had to make me sacrifice. I was able to get a fed boggle with the support of Spellskite.
Game Three- He brought in a lot of enchantment removal and was able to combo off before I could get a good position.
Round Three with B/W/R twin?
Game one- I got a boggle to a 7/5 and he picked up.
Game two- He got to combo off after he countered my path to exile.
Game three- I got a Spellskite to 15/13 and was able to kill him before he could combo. Was a very fun end to a long game.
Round four with Bloom Titian.
Game one- He combed off on turn two. Enough said.
Game two- Was able to place a Spellskite on turn two and was able to prevent his combo. I buffed it and had him to four health before he played engineered explosives and was able to retake the game. Was fun even though I lost.
