Duress (discard) Abrupt Decay (D Sphere / light, Scooze, aggro stuff) Sin Collector (discard + early pressure) Blood Baron of Vizkopa (against aggro / burn) Centaur Healer (against aggro / burn) Consign to Dust (enchantment hate) Also, this is something I've considered (in general, not just sideboard, but maybe replacing Vraska), but not sure how good it is. Ajani, Mentor of Heroes (pressure + card draw) | ||

Is there anything here that isn't that good, or something that isn't here that would be good?

Ajani, Mentor of Heroes (pressure + card draw) As you play at your FNMs more you'll eventually cut a lot of the cards in your side depending on their meta. The cards you have a good if you have no clue what you're facing. A little bit of everything and all that. The Ajani vs Vraska is all about what you expect the role you need is. Ajani is much better at card draw and grinding out wins. Vraska is more about being able to answer whatever your opponent have. Vraska needs less support than Ajani, so I'm really a bigger fan of her than Ajani. | ||

Vraska I think is very positioned right now due to its semi-vindicate ability, while the +1 or the ultimate isn't threatening, it's a just buying you more vindicates the longer its in play. | ||

I think the card may get better once Sphinx rotates out simply because the only deck really want it against are all of the Sphinx decks where a card engine keeps you drawing threats, but its really not that great in most place. Vraska I think is very positioned right now due to its semi-vindicate ability, while the +1 or the ultimate isn't threatening, it's a just buying you more vindicates the longer its in play. Well yeah, I did say that I preferred her over Ajani And I still want to live the dream of killing with assassin tokens  | ||

Is it worth going -, +, +, - to save her at 1 loyalty, or is it usually the right call to just go -,+,- ? I'm not sure how much weight I should put in protecting her for 3 turns for another vindicate. | ||

I'm not sure how much weight I should put in protecting her for 3 turns for another vindicate. I'm of the opinion that -, +, - is always the right call unless you have removal in hand. -, +, +, - is you wanting Assassin tokens (I admit that's why I do it) | ||

Its more to do with the tempo of the game. -, +, +, - is ALWAYS better long game, but never be afraid to -, +, - to survive right now. And when you're a deck that is dropping high cc spells, its very easy to get on the back foot. Vraska's win ult/soft lock is not your deck's primary win condition, and its best to not lose sight of that. Sometimes she's just good as a 2-1 board clear if that's what you need to stabilize with an Elspeth in play. Also, if you ever get the godly -, +, -, recur Vraska, - again then you'll feel like a champ. | ||

As most people say, they need a complete overhaul of Magic Online, not some poor cosmetic changes with a program that has crazy memory leaks. This current beta has been going on for years and is still in a terrible state. I used it for 3 months when I started on Magic Online and I'll never play on it again, because the current V3 is just plain better. | ||
