Either or both would be good out of the sideboard. I run Envelop in my board, so that comes in. For All Spells, all grave hate comes in even though they could be transforming into Belcher. The deck is powerful but isn't consistent, so I don't devote any special slots to beating it. If I needed to do that, I would run Mindbreak Trap or Faerie Macabre.

12 Post is a 50-50 matchup. The mono-green version is somewhat unfavorable due to the added threat of Dark Depths. Can't win 'em all. Better luck next time.
The only match up that I felt was really poor was Sneak and Show. I think I need to work on my plan for boarding there a little bit. Thanks for your take on the MU. I think the 12Post match was winnable. I think I got a little unlucky/my opponent got a bit lucky and I made a subpar call on how to move from the mid to late game. So I will try to keep that in mind for the future. Oops All Spells is awful. I don't even understand how it is a deck. More than half of the format plays Force of Will. Lots of decks play Spell Pierce, Daze, Thoughtseize... the list goes on. The last time I played against this guy, He tried to go off on T1, I Forced, on my turn, I played a Grafdigger's Cage and he scooped. Like why would you play this garbage?
