I am looking for a sideboard guide for a modern list like, say, this. If you have your own unique sideboard - please share! Namely, I'm looking to side against: siege pod with choke, delver with blood moon, living end with slaughter games, mirror. Thanks!
Any thoughts about possibly splashing white as a 4th color to play silence? It could buy you turns to stay alive, force control to use a counter, or just give you peace of mind and win. Not too sure if its a great idea with only 5 fetches and it mmakes blood moon that much better against us.
May i ask in what universe ancestral vision unban is pretty obvious? Seems pretty overpowered to me....
I think he implies bannings of TC and DTT and the unban to compensate...
Tbh this is a scenario that given the last gps and other tourney isn't near to happen imo, TC and DTT are strong but far from being op. Pod is a lot more powerful than these two for example, why not banning pod then Kappa

Hello, I'm pretty newbie in this forum but I have been playing this deck for 6 months or so, and I wanted to ask you guys if you have tested Savage Knuckleblade sideboard. A guy owned me in mirror matchup the last PTQQ i played with this card(this guy is very good at scapeshift and way more experienced than me). He runs 2 Savage Knuckleblade and 3 Obstinate Baloth SB. Seems like a nice option since you can t3 Savage Knuckleblade and t4 Obstinate Baloth and put a lot o pressure vs mirror or defend like a boss vs aggro. I haven't tested it yet but this guy told me that he is having pretty good results with it(and he won that PTQQ btw)
I think obstinate baloth is terrible in the mirror. It's a 4 mana sorcery that takes 5 turns to win (more if there's a STE or snapcaster). There aren't that many bad cards you're main decking in the scapeshift mirror. Depending on the build, you have 4-6 removal spells that can be bad. You should usually have 4+ anti blue cards in your sideboard.
I haven't tried knuckleblade, but i'm much more interested in trying tarmogoyf in the sideboard. I've seen that card do serious work in scapeshift against other blue decks. Unfortunately I don't have a list, so i'm not sure what people have cut to play goyf in their sideboard.
TC is miles better than AV so they'll unban it, unless they both ban TC and DTT is still deem AV too powerful to unban, which I don't think will happen.
Since I don't enjoy this current meta I prefer to start preparing already for the january meta with AV unbanned and maybe TC banned.
I'd love some sources for your claims of AV being unbanned and the TC banning. Unless you secretly work for WOTC, I don't think boldly claiming bans/unbans based on your own opinion is that smart. If you don't enjoy the current Meta, I'm assuming you just don't like change? Metas will always change, and it's up to the players to adapt and find ways to beat the current Meta. If it stayed the same all the time, what would be the point in playing?
Also, claiming the next ban will be Pod in your sig... Sources please. Otherwise, just man up and enjoy the game. If you want something more simple, I'm sure Hearthstone would be more accomodating.
I mean, if they ban pod and unban ancestral i Just drop modern, but enemy1g is correct, you shouldnt be speculating on random thoughts that come across your head
So is there any way to sort of way to "budget" the fetch part of the mana base?
4 Misty's is expensive and was wondering if any combination of KTK fetches might work? I know we really want flexibility to ramp up to UUU or have that first turn G for suspend. It also seems like it may be better for delve. Yet in a meta of burn and UR Delver the life points are important.
I was in the same situation. My conclusion that Wooded Foothills might be the best option as you can still fetch green, and you could still grab all of your shocks with said fetch. But regardless, if you're using off color fetches, you'll end up taking more damage than you need to.
I ended up biting the bullet and picked up my set of Mistys for $115.
What is everyone's opinion on the Summoning Trap/Breach version of scapeshift? It gives us two win conditions main but I've only ran the U control gameplan.
Anyone want to chime in on how Breach&SS deck runs compared to regular SS?
You'll all have to apologyze to me after the next BL update.
AV unbanned.
TC/DTT banned.
Pod banned.
I'll kiss your feet if you're correct. However, you still bring nothing citing where you're basing your assumptions from. If you want to throw out wild accusations and assumptions of what will be unbanned and banned, there is a specific thread for that.
Hi, I just form my first scapeshift themed deck, mine is more towards titan shift, I will need suggestion and recommendation to improve this deck. I have no intention to add blue to my build as I am enroute to RG breach and maybe even bloom titan. I will prefer to stay more in RG. below is the list I build

It's right here if you weren't aware.
If you're going to state opinions as facts, you need to have sources.
Explor seems sketchy. Bolt would be nice here.
Prismatic omen is really not needed.
electrolize seems like it should be here in some number, and snapcaster mage seems left out.
2x inferno titan
3x obstinate baloth
4x sakura-tribe elder
3x prismatic omen
4x scapeshift
4x anger of god
4x farseek
4x lightning bolt
2x forest
5x mountain
4x stomping ground
1x blood crypt
4x wooded foothill
4x blood-stained mire
4x valakut, molten pinnacle
3x destructive revelry
3x slaughter game
3x chalice of the voide
2x shatterstorm
2x choke
2x boil
what do you guys think? I am unsure 2 choke and 2 boil, is it too much against blue? is there need to add in combust?
Hope i helped
