How often do you guys see Surgical come out of opponents' sideboards? My buddy brought it in against me earlier, he's on Junk. Turn 1 IoK away a Shadow and Surgical before I can even do anything. At that point there's zero chance I win that game. I've had to surgical my own Shadows in response before, obviously only exiling the one, but that's certainly not how it's supposed to play out.
Just that small interaction made me think about sleeving up the Grixis version.
Why you have zero chance after this? If I see my opponent Surgicaling my DS he just discarded, I would thank him for 2-for-1ing himself. I've said it before, if people bring in Surgicals against you, you can only thank them. Especially Junk vs. DSJ is such an attrition based matchup, I would never side in Surgicals here if I were the Junk player. Yeah, sometimes they get to extract your DS early on, but your still have Goyfs and Street Wraiths you can cast. Don't underestimate Wraiths here. They are a respectable threat against them. And most of the time, if they board in Surgicals against you, they will topdeck it later in the game where it is incredibly bad rather than have it in the right situation. ANd if they extract a nonsense card at this point because what else to do with it, then you can thank them again for thinning out your deck.
That all makes sense now, but when half my threats are gone and the remaining half will just bump against his Goyfs or simply die to his 10+ Decay/Path/Push/Lili, it felt long over.

I've been playing a fairly standard list, but when I was last on the deck I'd been playing with strictly Jund colors, and I didn't miss the white sideboard cards. The mana was so nice, too. I can't figure it out and stick to a plan, I'm trying to decide if I'm taking this deck to GP Vegas over Junk/Grixis/Grixis DS/traditional Jund. I've already flip-flopped so many times >_<
