    anti-planeswalker GSZ targets

    Hi!

    Title says it all, name the best anti-planeswalker GSZ targets. Considering all mana costs, but cheaper is obviously better. It can be a narrow sideboard card too, doesn't have to be maindeckable.

    Let me know what you think! :D

    This is for a nic fit deck, and so far I am running the following cards I would consider "anti-planeswalker" maindeck:
    -thrun
    -sigarda

    It really depends on the deck you're playing and which planeswalker you are aiming at. Nimble Mongoose is alright, or Knight of the Reliquary fetching up a manland. Or maybe Fauna Shaman to fetch up Phyrexian Revoker.

    Sigarda is obviouls pretty good since she gives both Liliana and Jace the finger, but 6 mana is alot to ask for.

    It's for a nic fit deck, so its open to pretty much anything, but something like nimble mongoose is probably too narrow.
    KotR and Fauna shaman are okay, but I'd rather a card that isn't a 2-turn process. As for which planeswalker to target, preferably JTMS.

    One of our local Nic-Fitters used to play Ifh-Bíff Efreet in his deck as a way to take care of Jace if he had an excess of mana.

    Thragtusk could be another option if it's Jace And Liliana you are most concerned about.

    But he doesn't really do a whole lot to Elspeth.

    As a miracles player I can tell you that there is almost nothing I hate to see more than a Thragtusk, good thing no one plays it.

    Thrun, Thragtusk, Sigarda, Blitz Hellion, Timbermare, Bloodbraid Elf, Eternal witness getting back maelstrom pulse, primeval titan getting 1-2 treetop villages, creeping tarpits or a phyrexian tower + volrath's stronghold.

    Thragtusk, sigarda, primeval titan and witness are the least terrible of those options.

    That's why I hate nic fit despite it being super sweet. You can't beat a planes walker

    Timbermare if opposing PW is not too fat.
    But that's probably terrible idea in general...

    On a side note, if planeswalkers give you trouble with NicFit you could try beast within, maybe sideing out some gsz: it deals with any kind of planeswalker and doesn't care about the board state, it's instant so you can play it when your opponent is tapping out in your discard phase and in general will cost you less than Gsz.

    Moreover, giving him a 3/3 should not be so problematic for you since you should have plenty of ways to deal with it (or simply ignore it).

    I forgot Dungrove Elder was a card. Maybe I'll play him in Modern just for fun...
