Ok, so as this forum has the tendency to be nothing other than crappy decks, I figured I would post a question about a GOOD deck, but from a NOOB's (me) perspective.
Lets take the gen-con winning build as our example:
1st Place - Mark Biller (Control Slaver)
Mana Sources (26)
4 Volcanic Island
4 Polluted Delta
4 Island
3 Underground Sea
2 Darksteel Citadel
1 Flooded Strand
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Pearl
1 Sol Ring
1 Black Lotus
1 Mana Crypt
Creatures (7)
4 Goblin Welder
1 Pentavus
1 Sundering Titan
1 Platinum Angel
Counters (8)
4 Mana Drain
4 Force of Will
Draw (11)
4 Brainstorm
4 Thirst for Knowledge
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk
1 Fact or Fiction
Disruption (4)
2 Duress
2 Mindslaver
Other (4)
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Tinker
1 Yawgmoth's Will
1 Demonic Tutor
Sideboard (15)
3 Blue Elemental Blast
3 Flametongue Kavu
3 Old Man of the Sea
2 Red Elemental Blast
2 Duress
2 Mogg Salvage
I have a REALLY hard time sideboarding with this deck. The choices on what to bring in are relatively easy (though I think I might be over-boarding by wanting to bring in too many cards), but I have NO idea what to take out. (Classic NOOB problem, I know.)
So lets take 4 examples and explore them:
Fish and WTF/r (maybe the boarding pattern is different...)
Artifact Fat
4cc
and lets throw in some general aggro-control (GaT or U/G madness or Super Gro or...)
How are you guys sideboarding?
(Mods, if this is an innapropriate question, I do appologize. I figure that it's most appropriate to ask in the NOOB forum, so I put it there.)
[Edit] :
I have bene playing with a different sideboard, and thusly don't really have a good plan to start this discussion off with. I guess I could post my guesses, but I put this thread in the NOOB forum for a reason. :lol:
