![]() Three of the above Burn decklists play Alpine Moon. GPash -> you're the only one who is hellbent on beating Depths. Is Ashen Rider something a red deck is planning on sideboarding in regularly? ![]() All of those completely disagree with your point of view about what a sideboard is about. Faerie Macabre & Ashen Rider & Grafdigger's Cage & Surgical Extraction - are all VERY narrow, and completely reasonable. Almost all have some incredibly narrow sideboard cards. So do almost all of the above winning decklists I posted above. Lord_darkview -> frequently a card that is pretty good in a lot of match-ups is much better than a card that is amazing in just a few (even if they're your worst). Light up the stage & Skewer are seeing some successģx Fireblast instead of 4 still seems the right call. Until there is some evidence though, the existing data makes us a bit skeptical. This would provide some useful information to judge the conclusion, test, and see if maybe there is a secret that we have all missed that would improve our own deck construction in the future. Perhaps you can provide some statistics on the breakdown of decks in your local meta, your records against some of the dominant decks in that meta, and your current deck list. Now, you say you have been able to make Burn a good choice in a Depths-heavy meta. ![]() Now if your specific meta has enough Depths that you run into it constantly, you have two choices: heavily warp your deck to beat it while sacrificing a ton of points against everything else (what you're doing) or switch decks to something that has a better matchup against Depths naturally (which is what most of us would do). That's the point: we're fine with not playing Moon because it only helps against very few decks, and that's a lot weaker than our other choices. In other words: frequently a card that is pretty good in a lot of match-ups is much better than a card that is amazing in just a few (even if they're your worst). If putting a card in your SB improves your results by 1% against 20% of your opponents, that is worth more than if the card improves your results by 10% against 1% of opponents-even if that opponent is one of your worst matchups. What you are missing (or perhaps deliberately pretending to miss) is that the sideboard is not about beating specifically your hardest matchups, but improving your overall deck performance against the field as whole.
