Hi guys, I'm going to play Melira Pod at some PTQs this seasons and I need some tips. I posted my list below. I have some questions:
1) Im having doubts about Shriekmaw main deck. Would Restoration Angel or Phyrexian Metamorph be better?
2) I have Dismember in the sideboard, should they be path to exiles?
3) Could you guys tell me what do side out and what to side in for these matchups: Twin, UWR control, Jund, The Mirror.
Thanks in advance!

1.) Shriekmaw is pretty boss and I wouldn't cut him, but silver bullet creatures are largely personal/meta calls. For example, I've seen some lists opting to run their 1-of Orzhov Pontiff in the sideboard whereas I personally run him in the maindeck. I suppose if your meta is infested with Affinity, Boggle, GBx, UWR Control, then it may make sense to ditch Shriekmaw as he's mostly dead in those matchups.
2.) I personally run 2 Path to Exile, 1 Slaughter Pact and 0 Dismember in my sideboard. I can't think of too many scenarios where Dismember would be strictly better than Path to Exile and we already inflict a lot of life loss on ourselves, so paying a potential 4 life towards Dismember (to make it cost the same as Path to Exile) is an unattractive proposition.
3.) This is a reasonable guide that you can use to start getting the feel of sideboarding with Melira Pod. While I don't agree 100% with everything suggested, it's a lot better than most of the Melira Pod sideboarding primers floating out there: http://www.starcitygames.com/article...-Richmond.html
