4-0'ed FNM last night. Figured that if people were playing Lurrus, there would be lots of value in a turn 1 chalice, so I dug out the deck and it worked like a charm.
With most decks you can ignore what they are doing because you're faster. Outside of that, you bring in destruction for their HATE vs. you. If their deck is potentially quicker, like Storm, Infect, or Devoted Devastation, then you bring in Lightning Axe or in your case, Darkblast for the latter two. In my opinion, Silent Gravestone is not that good because it stops what, Surgical Extraction? You can usually win through 1-2 of these anyway. It's the Leylines and Ravenous Traps that get sticky.
Outside of that, I don't think there are SB guides. You can probably look up sideboard guides for Bridge Vine BEFORE Hogaak and the siding would be similar. Even siding with Dredge would be similar, so you can look up those. The rest is mostly done on instinct and experience with graveyard based decks vs. non graveyard based decks.
I usually take out Bloodghasts and 1 Gravecrawler when I side things in. You probably can get away with siding Vengevine(s) as well if the graveyard hate is turn 0 or super quick and affects the whole yard.
Thanks, really helpful suggestions!
Yea, I haven't been feeling the gravestones, so will cut them for Wear//Tear perhaps.
I've found that if you don't run green, Vengevine often get stuck post board, so am cutting some of them.
How do you all approach sideboarding vs non graveyard decks? I'm pretty sure I'm sideing out the wrong things, and sideing in the wrong numbers. Running:
3 Silent Gravestone
3 Whispmare
2 Ingot Chewer
1 Shenanigans
4 Leyline of the Void
2 Darkblast
What would you side in and out against a deck when you're unsure what type of hate they will bring in?
Are there any sideboard guides out there yet?
