What kind of sideboard choices can I bring in specifically for this match-up (without completely neutering my sideboard)? Clearly 2 more Heroes downfall is good. What kind of playstyle is best for defeating this deck? Should I be focusing on his life total, or trying to keep the PW's off the field? I generally wouldn't worry about such a rare matchup, but the kid is there every week and I want to know how to deal with his Superfriends deck when I inevitably meet it again. Game 3 was extremely close, but I made some poor decisions in whether to attack his life total or his Planeswalkers (Sorin) on key turns and gave the match away. Game 2 I got the god draw and he scooped after not drawing his 3rd land. Overall I felt the match was winnable for sure, I had him to 1 life game 1 and only punted the match by blocking poorly. Wingmate Roc felt very strong against his deck, as did Abzan Charm, and Dromoka's command. PW's give virtual lifegain if you focus on killing them, and have snowball-like card advantage if you leave them unchecked.Īll that being said: This was the Abzan Aggro deck I was playing. There are so many "hidden" abilities from the activated PW's abilities that it leads to bad blocks/attacks and overall decision making. The incremental advantage unanswered PW's give you, adds up deceptively fast. The deck is obscure, yet powerful, and people don't know how to play against that many planeswalkers. His list resembled this: The strategy is very effective for several reasons, including: The concept is simple: ramp into the best planeswalkers in the format and win the late game by wiping the board with End hostilities/Anger of the Gods and finishing with PW's. My one loss however was to one particular kid who has played the same deck for 4 months: Naya planeswalkers (splashing black for Siege Rhino). So I played to 5-1, 2nd place finish at my FNM last night.overall the night went smooth.
