glaring spotlight vs ratchet bomb? Is tokens or hexproof more played?

That's a meta call. I run neither in my sb but that's cuz my meta is aggro and control. Maybe a couple midrange decks.

Honestly though, ratchet bomb is such a good SB card against a lot of decks though, not just tokens.

Your playing aggro? I'll take out all your 2 drops! Or your 3 drops and grab that Domri while I'm at it!

Seriously ratchet bomb is the cure all. How many 1 or 2 drops does aggro play. Just pull your punches for a little then wham #halfboardwipe.com

Can someone help me with my deck build?

I'd cut 1-2 gods willing.

Possibly Doomblade or Duress over gods willing. Gods willing doesn't do much for esper, and add Doomblade for the slight chance that you're not playing against mono black, and duress for mono black and/or control

Uuugh...  Devour Flesh. Anything stop it? 

Any counterspell really... or you could use Mutavault against. it tap the vault to turn it into a creature then sac it to Devour Flesh

Yea I like the vault idea. I'm running g/w auras so no counter spells.

Ok, well there you go then. And could you please go take a look at my Modern T5 win deck? I need more suggestions

In the last Grand Prix burn decks showed up in top 8 while no control decks did. I won 3/4 matches at fnm. I was taken down by a burn deck similar to the ones top 8 in the Grand Prix. I'm thinking fiendslayer paldins are a good sideboard card for control against them. Any suggestions for other side board cards against burn?

Beckon Apparition.

It doesn't do enough against control because they'll just blow it up and then sphinxes rev to get tons of life. Against burn they don't usually play enough white to justify it. So I don't think it's good enough

Just wanted to bring it up, cause it appears to be updated with the latest blocks/sets for standard, but the locked topic mentions that a sideboard has to be exactly 15 cards. This is no longer the case. It can be UP TO 15. This was changed during the M14 changes.
