Why Putefry instead of the other usual suspects? Like Dismember, Go for the throat and Victim of Night? Sorry if you already answered this question before.
No emrakul in that list. No other significant target for TTB other than primetime.
I have to wonder, if you're playing this list, why not just play Titanshift.
My sideboard was born out of my current LGS meta. I have to regularly face Infect, Burn, Stompy, Naya Zoo, Affinity but also Tron, Gifts Ungiven, Amulet Bloom, Instant Reanimator, and even Twin variants. As you can see it's all over the place. Our deck is weak against fast aggro but also against turn 4 combos.
Aven Mindcensor I used against Bloom, Gifts Ungiven and sometimes as an extra blocker against infect.
Favor of the mighty I use against Infect, Boggles and Twin. I know Spellskite is better. It just happens that I don't have them available.
Timely Reinforcements is agains Zoo and burn. They help me hold the line and gain a couple of turns. You might be right that baloth could be the right call.
Noxious Revival comes against Jund/Junk/8Rack, and even against decks with counterspells. Anything that might get too grindy.
Unburial Rites shouldn't be there, but I could not find another noxious revival. I used it to reanimate a titan, but it's no longer on my 75.
Fracturing Gust I use because of a heavy presence of affinity and boggles, but you might be right that it comes too late. If anyone can ramp, though, it's us.
Stony Silence is great and I stand by it. I use it against Tron and affinity.
Golgari Charm I use as early removal or sweeper against affinity and infect. Sometimes against boggles turn 2 if I'm on the play.
I'm not saying these are great choices for my sideboard, I just had to adapt against a really complex and varied metagame. More and more I see this deck as underperforming whereas before I could get far in a torunament and do ok with it.
Just trying some things I guess. I used one Blood Crypt, one Sacred Foundry and one basic Swamp, in case anyone wants to know.
I know, but on the other hand, the Twin matchup without any mainboard hate is unwinnable. They have th counters and also the combo, they can just counter my stuff until they can combo out. That alone brought me to Abrupt Decay.
On another note, control matches still are my biggest concern, I cannot for the life of me get a single spell through. I think I need more practice with the deck.
I was the one that said that liked Omnath for this deck or a new one altogheter. I like what you're doing, keep it up and let us know if your testing leads somewhere and if it's a real deck, capable of taking down some FNMs
As the previous posts say, the following cards MIGHT have a place in our deck:
Blighted Woodland
Cinder Glade
We should test these and go from there. The new Sowing Salt is a "strictly better" (kinda) version of the card, so if for whatever reason you were using it, then you have a new version.
I like the new Omnath, but I don't think it has a place in our deck, unless we change it radically.
That's all I have for now.
Blighted Woodland
Land
T: Add 1 to your mana pool
3G, T, Sacrifice Blighted Woodland: Search your library for two basic land cards and put them onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle your library.
I kinda like this idea. Maybe change the shell a little bit, include a couple of Khalni Heart Expedition, a suspended search for tomorrow, and you're left with 3 or 4 extra elementals. It would be great to get the Omnath via a Summoning Trap, and not TTB.
Other Removal to consider for those cases are Go for the Throat and Victim of Night, but their drawbacks are quite clear. Affinity is still tier 1, and double black might be difficult, not o mention that Gurmag Angler is used in some decks.

This is my mana base:
4x Bloodstained Mire
1x Boseiju, Who Shelters All
2x Cinder Glade
2x Forest
5x Mountain
1x Sacred Foundry
2x Stomping Ground
1x Swamp
3x Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
4x Wooded Foothills
And this is my sideboard:
1x Chalice of the Void
1x Favor of the Mighty
2x Timely Reinforcements
1x Noxious Revival
1x Unburial Rites
1x Fracturing Gust
2x Stony Silence
2x Defense Grid
1x Fulminator Mage
1x Golgari Charm
I tune it to fit the current meta, I can use Rakdos Charm, and other BR goodness.

What do you think?

I'm trying to make a BUG deck, but don't know wich direction should I take with it.
