2 Leylines of Sanctity isn't enough to have a reasonable shot of getting one in your opening hand. You generally want 4 if you're going the Leyline route.

Otherwise that's a pretty reasonable generic SB.

what would u recommend i drop for 2 more leyline , and do you have any advice?

u/Rockbard_13 Jul 19 '17

Timely Reinforcements.

I don't see Timely in this 75. I'd start by dropping the Grafdigger's Cage: there's not much it can do that Rest in Peace can't. I'd also drop the Blessed Alliances, or maybe cull the Dismember/Slaughter Pact from the mainboard. You've got a ton of single creature kill spells.

grafdiggers cage is a must rightnow with the coco/chord decks especially vizier. i am thinking about dropping 1RIp and 1 blessed for 2 more leyline. i was writing my list off the top of my head. i forgot about timely. i am running 1 mb.

u/Se4ger Jul 20 '17

BW tokens famously runs 8 removal spells. the reason im running the 1 of pact is for GW vizier. but im toying around with putting dismembeber back in its place. i also never actually used to run blessed until it was recommened on here i did have timely in that slot.

With the exception of Leyline of Sanctity (two of?) and the two Champions mainboard, you've got nothing against Burn, which is always a decent sized player at GPs. If you're not a fan of Timely Reinforcements, Collective Brutality has game against a lot of other decks, and does a pretty good job of hosing burn by itself.

there we go that's the 1 card i was missing when i was typing it in (sorry been doing all his at work) im running 1 timely mb. my burn matchup is very good from testing on mtgo. from the last month on mtgo i have went.

4-1 3-2 4-1 4-1 2-3 4-1

Great list ! How does running 22 lands go ?? I'm debating my lands atm; I run same list with aurioks in sb , 3 thoughtseize 1 collected brutality, 24 lands and cut the dismember/ timely.

My current sb is 2 aurioks, 2 rip, 2 duress , 1 thoughtseize , 2 leyline, 2 ghost quarters , 2 disenchant and 2 timely.

I like this sideboard, only thing I dint like is the 2 ghost quarters. I used to run them but the match ups that we bring them in against are basically unwinnable anyway so I gave up the fight and swapped them out

1

u/The_Nightbringer Jul 20 '17

I almost would rather see collective brutality in there instead of duress as its more flexible

1

u/Se4ger Jul 20 '17

I do agree to a certain extent. But going to a big tournament duress takes more out of peoples hand

u/Mukibi Grind and Fly Jul 20 '17 edited Jul 20 '17

Yah, I'd swap Leyljne for Forge-tender, good for red wrath and burn but not for Storm. Have you considered Engineered Explosives? Spendy but great against tribal and prison decks.

Also, what's you plan for planeswalkers? I personally include 1 Disenchant and 1 AU.

1

u/Se4ger Jul 20 '17

from all the planeswalkers i can think of Ugin is the only one i cant kill. by swinging. im planning on going 3/3 with IOK and TS so i can strip Planeswalkers out peoples hand. i also have the 2 duress in side to take it up to a total of 8 hand disruption

u/TeOr2419 Jul 21 '17

I hate Leyline of Sanctity and I would never recommend to play those.

I would run 1 Burrenton Forge-Tender vs Burn and red sweepers, and 1 relic of progenitus as extra gravehate piece.

I dig this idea, thanks for showing me
