Sideboard for bow. Even if you could side in 15 of the same card! What would it do? ;D

Did a LOT of testing.

Changed it a whole bunch. Red is used ONLY for flashback for the {Mystic Retrieval} + {Psychic Spiral} combo. Black is used ONLY for {Forbidden Alchemy} and {Diabolic Revelation}, along with one copy of {Sever the Bloodline}.

Rest is classic U/W control, with a slight spin. Irregular inclusions are {Sphinx of Uthuun} and {Deadeye Navigator}. They come in small amounts because I don't want them until endgame. But they are wincons when paired.

My favorite is when people assume {Battle of Wits} is my only wincon and I just mill them to death.

"Yes, I made a 250-card deck with just 1 wincon." ....NOT!

I have all the cards but deadeye navigator and the tutors. So excited to run this next FNM!!!

The real question is, sleeved or un-sleeved?

Honestly I would love to go unsleeved....but I just can't afford to mess up all my cards. Sigh.
