Quote from axman »Quote from MagicMasterJr »Quote from axman »Quote from Bronson11 »Mind posting your list Axman? and any thoughts you have about sideboarding, I'm new to the deck too and am interested in others thoughts. Below is my deck list. I top 8ed the PPTQ with a 3-1-1 record. I lost only to the mirror in Swiss (beating RW humans, Grixis Emerge, and BW Delerium). My loss in the mirror was partially my fault. I +Gideon when I should have emblem. My opponent went double emblem and I couldn't catch up. In round 1 of top 8 I had to replay the RW player. Was on the play and won easier than during swiss. In the semi-finals I had to play against BR Aggro. Lost in three very close games. Game 3 my opponent had 12 points of burn spells... and I didn't have enough gas. Kept a somewhat questionable hand (spell queller + 2 Avacyn, + land) and my first five draws were land... land... fragmatize... land ... selfless spirit To make it worse - my opponent had 12 damage worth of burn spells in hand. Making my two avacyns relatively worthless. Prob should have mulled.

I have found her to be very beneficial to aggro decks, and some mirror matches. She almost always gets nabbed by a kill spell and which leaves less spells for some of our more precious card drops. I also run Linvala in the side board against aggro to get me a few more life, and field presence. Just seems like your sideboard might be better suited for aggro, as you had the toughest time with them. The only aggro deck I think I would want Thalia in vs is BR aggro. Otherwise I don't think it's needed to win the aggro matchup (and I would rather have other cards vs GB/mirror). It was also my first time playing the deck. So mistakes abound.
