I've been thinking about what kind of deck i want to take to GP NJ, and come to the conclusion that I want enough creature removal to handle any creature (or creature based combo) decks out there. I think combo is getting pushed out of the meta and that more fair decks are taking over (seen by the large volume of delver decks) or that creature removal can disrupt them (painter/elves/reanimator). The sideboard is almost entirely for combo (with the exception of the last 4 cards). I would love feedback on card choices (if you think mine are garbage, and that I should be playing something else), and quantities. Any and all advice would be awesome.
Creatures: 15
4x Deathrite Shaman
4x Dark Confidant
4x Tarmogoyf
3x Stoneforge Mystic
Non-creatures: 23
1x Batterskull
1x Umezawa’s Jitte
4x Thoughtseize
4x Abrupt Decay
4x Swords to plowshares
3x Lingering souls
3x Liliana of the veil
2x Mirri’s guile
1x Chains of mephistopheles
Land: 22
4x Wasteland
2x Bayou
2x Scrubland
1x Savannah
1x Forest
1x Swamp
1x Plains
1x Karakas
4x Verdant Catacombs
3x Marsh Flats
2x Windswept heath
side board
2x Surgical extraction
2x Duress
2x Cabal Therapy
2x Containment Priest
1x Gaddock Teeg
1x Grafdigger’s Cage
1x Tormad’s crypt
1x Circle of protection: red
1x Sword of fire and ice
2x Zealous persecution
I'm hoping discard is enough to make up for the lack or counters. Also containment priest helps with a TON of match-ups (Sneak and show, reanimator, elves, D&T, and dredge).
