15 sideboard cards



Notes:
Running this at a tourney tonight. The cards work really well together and I have a few good win conditions that I try for.  My biggest question I'm asking myself right now is should I splash blue to replace o rings with d spheres, add an aetherling, add supreme verdicts to sideboard, and replace divine favors with counter spells.  I can see that being a good thing, and I can see it ruining my deck completely. Thoughts before I make my decision tonight?

I run junk with blood artist and skirsdag high priest being my win conditions.  I like keeping servitude decks at 2 cmc and running 4 blood artists and 4 cartel aristocrats extremely important.

I also did this, although I kept b/w. if you really wanna have fun with this, I say all 2 cmc, tragic slip, and a bunch of morbid cards. Maybe 1 or 2 bombs but that's it!! I loved playing servitude just because of how fun it is

So no blue, more blood artist and aristocrat? The reason I only have 1 of each (besides that I only have 1 of each) is for that late drop and sac creatures after guildmage ability to hit for two in each sac (or 3 with rhox, 6 with both) but that is best case scenario.

What do you think about  {Angel's Mercy} +  {Vizkopa Guildmage} + {Rhox Faithmender}? Aha

Agreed.  Xathrid will be absolutely awesome.  Especially with {doomed traveller}.   Triple sac.  Side boarding {high priest of penance} is really good against aggro decks and also {varolz, the scar striped} etc for junk aristocrats if opponent has {rest in peace} etc.   I love love playing this deck.

Also I suggest MB 4 {lingering souls}.  Can't tell you how many times it has saved my ass and bought me turns until my combo blows up in their face
