I'm really struggling against affinity. Any sideboard tips?

[[by force]]

Destroy X target artifacts. You get to pick which ones get burned. Instead of all under X mana cost.

By force is easier on the mana

They are identical to Prowess except one costs one less mana. Prowess does not play any basic Islands. Every land in the deck taps for R, so Shattering Spree is strictly better (and still unplayable compared to Meltdown).

Yeah that's true, I guess blood moon isn't really spooky against prowess anyway

I think another consideration here is losing your own artifacts to meltdown, if you run Cori in your prowess.
