Again I know there is no clear cut guide and there really shouldn't be, but I'm interested in hearing your stance/reasoning when it comes to said boarding strategies. or am I wrong? Maybe I'm just going 'overboard' with the hate.Īnd as far as particular matchups I guess I should have just been specific from the jump so I'll just go ahead and ask what you usually board in/out against some of the popular archtypes. Specifics are undoubtedly a huge factor when boarding.Well it just seemed to me that whenever were trying to bring in enchantment based hate we would board in all those goodies. If I knew what you were boarding those cards in against, I could give you better information. What you play against depends largely on your strategy. The two Verdant Catacombs and basic Forest are in there to not only improve your chances finding lands, but they also are there to combat Wasteland-based decks. Specifics obviously are a big factor when considering what to bring in and what to take out.

I guess I would consider this:Īgain: I have no idea what you're playing against, what creatures are in that match-up, what type of deck you're against (looks to be some sort of control variant based on the number of cards you're bringing in) and if the opponent is playing a tempo-based deck using Wasteland to full effect. If specifics are applied to certain matchups how much do they differ?Specifics obviously are a big factor when considering what to bring in and what to take out. Yo Hollywood what would you board out for these in general:
