1 {Blind Obedience}
1 {Negate}
1 {Essence Scatter}

13 sideboard cards

Notes:
So turn 2 Geist, turn 3 Biomancer and swing with a 6/6 Angel token. After that everything else is massive. Arbors and pilgrims enter as 3/3s Thragtusk and Sigarda are powerhouses and then Zegana at 6 mana to reload your hand. Also there's Rootborn to keep the Geist alive and populate the Angel token :) This deck is big, fast and a ton of fun to play with :)

I haven't decided on the last 2 sideboard cards as of yet. I'm also going to change the Detention Spheres for Oblivion Rings :)

{Witchbane Orb} is a great sb card.

You actually have all these cards, cuz I am really looking to trade for {Geist of Saint Traft} right now.

Hey, I was just thinking your 5 drop spot might be better with {Wolfir Silverheart}, instead of {Thragtusk}. Pair it with the biomancer for some +6/+6 craziness!

{Witchbane Orb} is a great sb card.

Depending on the reasoning, I prefer {Pithing Needle}. It's much more versatile against planeswalkers, {Nephalia Drownyard}, {Kessig Wolf Run}, etc. If you're just wanting protection from burn, Orb is good.

I like {Witchbane Orb} because your opponent can't burn you out, or make you sac creatures or anything.

Yeah, like I said, against burn, Orb is good. But if you're getting beat down by Drownyard, Wolf Run, Planeswalkers, than {Pithing Needle} is a bit more versatile, and cheaper.
