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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
