Sideboard Guide – Caleb Scherer Printable Sideboard Guide – Janus KrojgardĬantrips – A cantrip is a card that replaces itself by drawing another card. The second is from Janus Krojgard, a member of the Storm community Facebook page who plays a lot of Storm on MTGO. The first is from the blog of Caleb Scherer, fixture on the Star City Games Tour and a large proponent of Storm. As such, each matchup section will have some general thoughts on what cards aren’t as effective, what you expect the opponent to bring in as far as hate and how the matchup tends to play out.įor those who want specific ins and outs for each matchup, below are two guides to help. Just because you disagree with a suggestion made on this page does not mean you’re wrong! There are different builds of Storm out there and a multitude of cards you can choose to battle with in any given 75. A better way to sideboard is think about the role you want to play and the deck plays in each matchup and what cards do and don’t fit that role.įurther, I’m a firm believer that you can sideboard differently in matchups than others and still be correct, depending on how you see the matchup playing out. I believe one way to improve your piloting of Storm is not to think about sideboarding as cutting A, B, C and bringing in X, Y, Z. So that’s it for this edition of “Deck of the Week.” Stay posted for our next feature next week.Welcome to the section about matchups and sideboarding with Storm in Modern! This page is dedicated to role assessment against all the different archetypes Modern can throw at you as well as discussing some sideboard strategies.īefore we go any further, I’d like to discuss what this page is not – a guide for exactly what cards to cut and exactly what cards to bring in postboard. Blue Moon might just be one of the best decks to bring right now to any Modern tournament! Blood Moon is the perfect compliment to this control-esque approach, and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is an excellent finisher that can steal games in an instant. There isn't much that's new in this build, but blue seems well placed in the meta right now. Meanwhile, Izzet Staticaster and Anger of the Gods are very good against Affinity and Humans, the premier aggro decks of the format right now. Favorable matchups such as Tron and Eldrazi decks are made better with access to Abrade and Disdainful Stroke.

The deck's sideboard packs the Platinum Emperion plus Madcap Experiment package, which gives you an additional angle of attack besides Through the Breach and Emrakul. There's also a singleton Vendilion Clique that provides additional utility and much needed information before you decide to go in on a Through the Breach.
Noticeably missing in this list's disruption package is Spreading Seas, which has been cut in favor of more redundancy in the other cards.
It also has the usual cantrips of a blue deck, Opt and Serum Visions, which help fix your hand and set up your lethal two-card combo. The list runs nine copies of permission spells that are made more potent by the presence of Snapcaster Mage.

Finally, the old Bolt-Snap-Bolt alternate wincon is on full display here too. These controlling elements let you polish your hand until you can breach in an Emrakul for the win. It's packed with tons of interaction in removal and counterspells, which is augmented by the always reliable power of Blood Moon to restrict your opponent's movements by disrupting their mana base.
Rooney56's build is a classic combo-control deck. The new face of Blue Moon bears much resemblance to Splinter Twin decks of old (some versions are even running the Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker kill themselves). Through the Breach plus Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is the newest addition to this arsenal. Blue Moon is a deck that has experienced a ton of variation over the years, most notably in its win conditions.
