Hi Everyone!
This Sunday I am playing a mid-season Top 16 final at my LGS. It's Modern and I'm brings GDS.
Since it's a local store and invite only I know what decks will show up. But I have only played GDS at this store once.
I am looking for tips on sideboard-plan and maybe some tweaks to the main deck.
Also adding draft of sideboard plan with current sideboard. Welcoming input there as well! (Please view attachment with sideboard plan)
Last FNM went 4:0 (10 people). This was my third time to play with GDS on FNM and first time that came first. Deck is so fun to play.
I play with 4x Bauble and 17 lands and don't have problems.
1. vs Mono blue - 2:1
2. vs Izzet Phoenix - 2:0
3. vs Tron - 2:0
4. vs Bant Spirits - 2:1
what's in your sideboard and what you've sided in in those matchups?
A weird question but are we 100% positive that 3 snaps are the way to go nowdays? With K Command being demoted to sideboard and snaps quite often being just a bad Ambush Viper, maybe it's not crazy to consider cutting 1 out?
Hi, just finished my first GDS deck, have no real experience playing it outside of some testing online. Here is my sb plan for some popular decks based on other people experience and ideas. Any comments would be highly appreciated, just note in mind that I'm not going to add some expensive options (EE's, LtLH, LotV, Surgicals) to my sb anytime soon.
Ashiok, Dream Render
Angrath's Rampage
Dreadhorde Arcanist
Liliana's Triumph
Saheeli, Sublime Artificer
Im not sure you really want Lavaman and Brutality against Amulet. I'm skeptical about Spellbombs against Jeskai.
