As any good Magic player...Hey gang, it's Nina. As any good Magic player knows over time decks must continue to change/adapt to reflect current meta; particularly in the Sideboard. With that in mind here's the current version of Baneslayer Boros I'm running in response to the environment I'm testing/playing in. (Nov 10th, 2010):<br /><br />4x Goblin Guide<br />4x Steppe Lynx<br />4x Plated Geopede<br />4x Kor Skyfisher<br />2x Stoneforge Mystic<br />2x Kor Hookmaster<br />2x Baneslayer Angel<br /><br />4x Lightning Bolt<br />2x Adventuring Gear<br />2x Burst Lightning<br />3x Journey to Nowhere<br />3x Arc Trail<br /><br />4x Arid Mesa<br />4x Marsh Flats<br />4x Teetering Peaks <br />1x Tectonic Edge<br />1x Evolving Wilds<br />5x Mountain<br />5x Plains<br /><br />SB:<br /><br />4x Mark of Mutiny<br />4x Kor Firewalker<br />3x Revoke Existence<br />1x Sword of Body and Mind<br />1x Baneslayer Angel<br />1x Arc Trail<br />1x Journey to Nowhere<br /><br />These changes primarily reflect the downfall of WW Affinity and U/W Control and the rise of U/B Control, RDW and Kuldotha Rebirth Decks. They're also an open admission that Mark of Mutiny is better Primeval Titan meta than Tunnel Ignus; one can be killed the other can't and one wins games immediately while the other takes several turns.<br /><br />Happy hunting.<br /><br />-ninaThe Cardboard Witchhttp://thecardboardwitch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
