I'm on the fence about siding out Crop Rotation, but I've recently opted towards leaving it in to punish greedy keeps with Wasteland. That said, you're still looking to end games as soon as possible against combo, and leaving pump spells in the deck is a good way to make that happen. Cutting a copy or two of Vines is okay, as its the slowest of your pump spells and the hexproof function has little to no utility against any variety of Tendrils storm deck. Inkmoths (3x) do come out though, as they're just a tad too slow to have an impact on the game. Do not side out Blighted Agents, as they're an easy workaround to goblin tokens. threatens a turn one kill and also has the option of an Empty the Warrens line if 10 storm isn't a feasible option. Your sideboard for ANT can afford to play a longer game (long being relative in the scheme of Legacy as 3 or 4 turns), but T.E.S. also opts for an Empty the Warrens kill more often than ANT, but also has the option of falling back on Ad Nauseum against decks that don't pressure life total (like ours!) is without a doubt the more explosive of the two, preferring to play more recklessly and often opting to combo off during the first or second turn with less knowledge of the opponents hand. ![]() Despite the namesake of the deck, the deck does not regularly kill with Ad Nauseum, as its less reliable and more conditional than Past in Flames. ANT is a slower deck that sets up a turn 2-4 Past in Flames or natural Tendrils spell chain with the aid of discard spells and Cabal Rituals (these are important because they help the deck overpower soft counters). ![]() That said, for anyone else reading this form PLEASE do not treat these two decks as a singular entity. almost exclusively, we jam a lot of games when we're bored), so I don't have much to comment on in the way of datanaga's strategy. I'll be the first to say that my experience with ANT is minimal compared to my experience with T.E.S. In: 2x pierce, 2x surgical, 1x submerge (vs xantic swarm), 1x bojuka bog, 1x force of willWould like to take this time to remind everyone playing Legacy that ANT and T.E.S. Out: 2x blighted agent, 1x wasteland, 4x vines of wastwood Never side out nobles vs storm, you need free mana while casting/activating creatures. I have never played TES matchup, but ANT and imho it was pretty easy with similar SB strategy. Insert PSA: Remind folks to keep an open mind about sideboard and sideboarding options.Ok, but you need to finish the story: what was the reason to cut NH, what he brought in, did he won? While its good to have a plan going into any game 2 or 3, this sort of routine also stagnates development as a player, ultimately hurting us more than the matchup familiarity that comes with it. As legacy players, we do a lot of sideboarding to a point that it can just become habit. In addition to some of the slower spells, he boarded out 4x copies of Noble Hiearch, something that had never even crossed my mind as Hierarch is always heralded as such a key part of the deck. At one point, I switched decks with one of the storm players. One matchup I had a lot of trouble with was T.E.S., which isn´t a favorable one by any means, but it got me thinking about sideboard strategies, and how there are some pretty regular patterns that always show up in my postboard. Was a hell of an experience, and many thanks to everyone who showed up. Had a chance to sling some paper magic with pretty experienced legacy players while on vacation. Don't feel like putting one in, I think you guys get the idea. Insert PSA: Remind folks to keep an open mind about sideboard and sideboarding options.Įdit: Accidentally left out PSA. ![]()
