Most people who are promoting their deck will also have a sideboard guide. From a very top down macro perspective, you're trying to improve your matchup via your sideboard through either protecting your game plan, or disrupting your opponents. Occasionally, you will have threats in your board which are unanswerable by your opponent (think shifting ceratops vs mono-u, or Lyra vs RDW). By and large most of the things you are going to be boarding in are reactive cards, so be careful about over boarding as an aggro deck. You don't want to board in so many answers, you lose the ability to ask questions, you know?

Sideboarding just means putting in t3f, thought erasure, or that loving 3 drop elemental stuffers as needed.

Yo this Yarok/Dread Presence deck is loving super sick nasty, and I think i'm gonna squeeze some Murder Knights and Beast Weasels in here bruh cuz Dread presence is GROSS EDIT: also there is going to be a "Rise!" leavening bread pun based green uncommon in the set that makes all food into 1/1's until the end of turn, mark my words Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Sep 10, 2019 |

Find lists with sideboard guides (here's two examples) to start and as you work with sideboarding more and read more guides you'll start to understand how to board better. See what cards are supposed to go and what's supposed to go in, but instead of just following it, try to figure out why the deck builder is making those moves vs. particular decks. Probably the biggest mistake is over-boarding, as you start, try and stick to smaller more obvious moves. Dropping removal against non-creature decks, or dropping value cards for tempo vs. faster decks, stuff like that. It just takes practice, I was pretty daunted at first but I just kept at it.

Also watch some streamers who actually play best of 3. They go usually explain their sideboarding choices pretty well.

Justin_Brett posted:I dunno why they show you what your opponent is looking at anyway, doesn't seem to add much either way. If you want to look at an opponent’s GY or closely read one of their cards on paper you can, but they will know. Same idea I think. Same if you’re staring at/playing with a card in your hand during responses, it might be a tell or you might be bluffing but your opponent has the opportunity to see it. The cards in hand is a little weird, but the only thing you gain from mousing over that is seeing a count of cards in hand. Which again, you can ask your opponent IRL, but they will know.

The actual bad thing about this 2020 event is that it's BO1 and I've lost to the same Grixis player twice so he probably thinks that Grixis is actually good

The worst part of this event is that if you try to make an anti-cavalcade deck, you won't run into cavalcade until game 2, because there's a lot of bad decks that cavalcade preys on, so you have to be able to beat everything else to get matched up against your best matchup. I just gave up and made my own cavalcade deck. Someone went cerulean Drake into sephara, and had to use it to trade with a chandras spitfire and still died to pings. The deck is incredibly dumb, and you can't gently caress it up and your opponent can't stop it if it just decides it's going to go off

^^yeah it’s that deck but I don’t have Vraska, so I put a Cavalier of Thorns in there and will 100% be jamming a Garruk in that slot because I’m convinced that Emblem is cheap enough to be relevant. Subout Llanowar Elf for Arbor sloth or whatever, the Reach is very relevant. I also run 2-3 Find/Finale. The Neoform is an incredible package and Dread Presence is super fun to play with. I literally just won my cat wings by defeating a Grixis player with literal zero cards in my library, going over the top of his Kefnet with Yarok and a single swamp for the last 4 damage. Insanely satisfying.

Early game fixing with the Scry or late game value generator if you can blink a creature with a worthwhile ETB effect. edit: Also it's exile a target creature you OWN and it ETBs under your control. You can take back stolen creatures. Interesting little perk.

Right but blink spells are bad cards a lot of the time, if you aren’t already ahead then you need stars to align to get value. Prince is good as a 2-drop on curve and seems to have gas in the tank at every stage of the game... and stoneforge mystic just got unbanned so...

I was doing okay with Aristocrats as well. Event is fine if you just want to jam bo1 games. Even if you lose game 2 you still get the usual rewards for playing. I pity anyone who actually needs to get xp out of it to finish the mastery though.
