When I drew the council's judgement in game 2 as a huge out to solidly win the match I knew, and verbally said to my opponent 'I'm very lucky it seems'. Same when I drew the TNN after punting game 1 by not equipping strix with Jitte. The line went through my head and I just absolutely blanked. I was at 40 life, so likely I'd be fine, but still don't give them outs.

Imagine I draw the council's judgement (or any other card not in my deck) and I look down to basic island and swamp because he wasted me off of my non basics. Likely not winning that game.
Any other sideboarding options you considered that might be worth it in a narrower local meta? I.e. disenchant, lingering souls, or any other things you might consider?

For example, I battle a meta filled with fair Czech pile and DnT strategies.
