Hallo there,
I am going to play the tournament next week with the Ad Nauseam deck.
Below you can find the decklist, that I want to play.
What I need to ask you for help is, what to SB for what in the following matchups and how to tune the SB.
Here is the decklist:
3 [ON] Flooded Strand
1 [ALA] Island (1)
4 [ON] Polluted Delta
1 [ALA] Swamp (1)
3 [R] Underground Sea
1 [U] Tundra
1 [U] Scrubland
3 [ALA] Ad Nauseam
4 [CST] Brainstorm
4 [TO] Cabal Ritual
4 [MR] Chrome Mox
4 [CST] Dark Ritual
4 [7E] Duress
1 [US] Ill-Gotten Gains
4 [DIS] Infernal Tutor
4 [MI] Lion's Eye Diamond
4 [TE] Lotus Petal
4 [6E] Mystical Tutor
1 [SC] Tendrils of Agony
1 [DS] Echoing Truth
4 [PS] Orim's Chant
The tournament should be about 40 players.
Here is metagame that I expect:
20% should be some Combo decks (1 - 2 Ichorids)
20% should be Aggro Control decks (Dreadstill, ThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThreshThresh, Slivers, Loam Deck)
20% should be some Control decks with or without Counterbalance (Mono U control, Landstill)
10% should be Aggro Decks (Goblins and so on)
30% should be random decks (Red Burn and so on)
My current SB is this:
1 [SC] Tendrils of Agony - Against Burn decks and against Aggro Control decks.
Side out: 1x Duress
4 [RAV] Dark Confidant - Against Control decks - for card advantage.
Side out: 4x Mystical Tutor
4 [UL] Defense Grid - Againtst Control decks
Side out: 2x Dark Ritual + 2x Cabal Ritual
2 [SOK] Pithing Needle - Random thread - Vial, Wasteland, Top....
Side out: ???
3 [TSB] Tormod's Crypt - Against Ichorid, Cephalid Breakfast...
Side out: 3x Duress
1 [NE] Massacre - Against Aggro with White
Side out: 1x Duress
Now I want to put in the SB the following cards, but donīt know what to take out...:
+/- 3x Engineered Explosives - They are for 0 with Ad Nauseam. Can deal with Counterbalance, which is really big problem. Can be played for 0 or 1 or 2 or 3. They are good against Aggro decks.
Change for 3x Dark Confidant ???
+/- 2x Disenchant - Can deal with Counterbalance, Chalice of the Void.
Change for 1x Dark Confidant + 1x Defense Grid
+/- 2x Bounce Spell - Rushing River, Chain of Vapour - against random threads.
Change for ???
What do you think about this reworked SB? Do you have any other ideas?
