I would take the scourges out, and possibly relic as well. Scourge is only good against Grixis Control from that list, so maybe you could move it to the sideboard if you really wanted to keep it. You definitely want a 4th Anger of the Gods and 4th Blood Moon. I might even get a 4th Simian spirit guide, since turn2 bloodmoon just destroys nearly half the decks. You could even go up to 5 sweepers. And go up to 4 Skreds, there are tons of creatures in your meta.
I feel like trying out the dragon list, rage mucking when it doesnt work and improving it is the way to go. I want to try heart and pyrite spellbombs with that list now
does anyone have a guide or match up sideboarding?
Kind of straight forward. Side out the cards that don't do much in the matchups, and side in the good ones. Anger isnt good vs control, blood moom is bad vs mono color decks, etc.
Side out some threats and Koth if they're fast decks, and stick in rabblemasters if you need higher threat density.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance got nerfed, what do you think of it?
Also there can be more planeswalkers now which gives for weight to this aspect
redirecting her + doesn't come up that often to begin with, don't think the nerf is big enough to reconsider her in the deck. card is nutty regardless.
The nerf comes up often against liliana and turned what used to be a super favorable position into a pretty unfavorable one. But I do agree that she is still nuts on our deck
About the same reason as Grixis, except they have more counterspells. Azcanta/Jace both pull them way ahead of us and gives them a stronger late game than us by having cheaper threats and more counterspells. We're not competitve without tron in these matchups and its not hard for them to keep us off it
UW control and grixis control are bad matchups for us now. 4 mainboard FoR destroys us, and its almost impossible for us to win a counter war without tron. Jace and Azcanta are way too good against us, we can't come back from 2 brainstorms/azcanta activations. The MU only gets worst postboard.
EE, trinket mage and ballista continue to underperform for me. Every time I have trinket mage I wished it were a treasure mage. Being able to get a wurmcoil or slaver is far superior than have a 3-4 power ballista.
I dont think the snow island has ever been relevant for me since Oboro works just as well if you want double blue. I have done Ugin + O-stone + Gearhulk + island a few times before. Land drops are still important
Gifts is OP. Ugin + O-Stone + whichever 2 cards you want. I usually get gearhulk or sundering titan and then use the next gifts to try to get an academy ruins online to abuse ostone/slaver/titan. You dont even need crucible most of the time because it's just way too slow and mana intensive
Depends on the matchup. Relics go out when they dont do much, and when you have better cards to replace them with. You can usually drop a copy of Koth or any 5cmc if the other deck is hyper aggressive. Sweepers if they're dead.
The main appeal of simian is to power out a turn2 blood moon or rabblemaster and pretty much cheese them out of the game
Can someone sell me on EE? The card is pretty expensive and that doesn't even include the things that go with it like the talisman, river of tears, walking ballista, etc.
You can even consider a couple of Ensnaring Bridge
Kind of straight forward. Side out the cards that don't do much in the matchups, and side in the good ones. Anger isnt good vs control, blood moom is bad vs mono color decks, etc.

You're pretty fortunate to draw into top8. Titan is a pretty abyssal matchup for us, we need pretty damn amazing hands to compete against them.
How was Teferi? I personally don't think he would be good for us, but I really like the card so I want to try it out. Was it worth playing?
The nerf comes up often against liliana and turned what used to be a super favorable position into a pretty unfavorable one. But I do agree that she is still nuts on our deck
If it becomes a real, persisting problem you might consider Ugin in the side to exile their entire face
I said this on discord already, but I'm going to put Godo back in the deck with Helm of the Hosts when it drops. 1 card infinite pls.

haz is pretty much inverse Stormbreath. She just tears apart decks without Path, and can wall things like death shadow forever
