The original build of our deck from the Instant Deck Tech really struggled with beating creatures, both in the main deck and in the sideboard. While our main deck is almost the same, dropping the mono-blue sideboard plan and overloading with sweepers and removal after sideboarding greatly improved our matchups against all of the creature decks in the format.


Our only loss came to Boros Angels, which feels like a tough matchup, and even there, we were one good self-mill away from stealing the match! That went pretty well! While we were playing one-player matches rather than a league, we finished 4-1 in our five matches and beat a lot of the best decks in Standard along the way, taking down two different builds of Golgari, an Izzet Drakes deck, and a Jeskai Control deck.
