My favorite card is Sensei's Divining Top.
I bought 9 when kamigawa came out, its a versatile card that digs! I love saying "IN RESPONSE I SPIN TOP!"

I side out all IoK and most lily/abrupt decay
usually just get a BoP with lily. Ill usually leave in one for the super late game. But if you ever draw multiple lily before turn 4-5 its usually just GG if you have a bird/hierarch.
Hallowed Burial is really good against pod.
So it Pillar of Flame.
Part of the deck is knowing when to switch from playing the control roll to the aggro roll.
Also, we teat apart the opponents hand and try to make them 'stumble' so to speak and not be able to curve out.
We like to curve out, and when we do so well it puts a huge about of pressure on the opponent. When you path you smooth out their draw and let them curve out better and help them keep up.

I was thinking the same thing about obliterator.
Here's the problem I found. You almost always punt the affinity matchup, even with using as many as 3 slots for creeping corrosion. With white the matchup gets a lot better with stony and lingering souls. 3 slots for 1 matchup is too much imo.
Rhino really fufills the same roll anyways.
Anyone else?
with 4 rhinos you play 25 lands.
If you really want to play less go for it, just dont come and complain when you lose b/c you dont hit your land drops consistently enough. Tec edges and man lands dont stay around long anyways.

youre 3 slot is clogged up *really* bad
He gave you feedback. Goyf is literally better than BB there in most metagames.
BB doesnt replace bob well. If your goal is to replace bob start with courser and rhino, then look at finks and planeswalkers.
grafdigger's cage deals with birthing pod in a unique enough of a way that i always want atleast 1 in my SB.
our best enchantments removals are:
seal of primordium pumps goyf, lets you lay it down and continue your board state so you dont have to leave mana up. Bad against pod if they rip their 1of Rec sage. Great against blood moon.
golgari charm very versatile sideboard card, good if you have a lot of supreme verdicts and token decks.
deglammer / unravel the aether strictly for wurmcoil engine and keranos. If they arent in your meta, you probably want something more versatile
back to nature really narrow, but gets the job done.
maelstrum pulse maindeckable, not bad in the SB either
fracturing gust one of those very flexible but expensive to cast sideboard cards that I really like

If youre running 1-2 bow 1-2 Kor Firewalker and 1-2 Timely its a whole lot harder for them to properly sideboard against you.
Also, make sure you always side in golgari charm and leave in maelstrum Pulse against them. You never know when you'll run into a Leyline of Punishment let alone blood moon.
I usually side out all Inquisition of Kozileks, and some number of abrupt decays and lilianas.
The cards I want to see against you are Bob, scavenging ooze, goyf, and mass removal.
The matchup is pretty equal, it really hinges on whether or not there is an active pod.
The maindeck lifegain is considerably less w/o Rhinos and without lingering souls your affinity matchup is so bad you have to run 3 creeping corrosion.
Outside of vapor snag though, zoo has no real way to deal with Phyrexian Obliterator if you choose to go that route.
If it just cost issues, theres no reason why you cant play BG while you wait to pick up the white portion of the deck. You would probably just be forced to run something awkward like a finks/courser/bow of nylea package maindeck (assuming no obliterator)
Kor Firewalker isnt a horrible SB option other. hitting double white isnt too hard. t1 fetch a shock tapped into fetch basic plains Firewalker is strong. Its better than Dragon Claw in that it can block (and kill) everything in burn.
You can also run a mix of like 2 firewalker/2 timely.
Shocking yourself to get firewalker out into t3 timely is pretty good
any red fetches will do though
