Title: Sideboards and lands
Post by: Crossed on November 13, 2014, 05:34:01 PM
Can you include lands, either basic or non-basic, in a constructed sideboard? I've never seen it so I don't know if it exists or if there is a rule for or against it.

And as long as I'm asking the above question, can you also include lands in a limited setting? And if so, can it be any of the basics offered to you at the event, or just the ones you pull from the packs?

1) Absolutely. Any card legal in the constructed format you're playing (including lands) is a legal sideboard card. I used to run {Tectonic Edge} in my sb in modern.

2) You have acces to any card in your card pool for your sideboard in limited as well as infinite basic lands. Lol if you want you can even sideboard into a deck that is just 40 {swamp}s if you're feeling silly.

Awesome. Limited is going to be fun to play with smokescreens. Now I can build a deck then design another deck to switch into. Thank you.

I played a sealed event recently with ktk where a guy switched deck builds with his card pool like 3 times

Mind you he did this cuz his pulls sucked and he lost most if not all of his matches.

I actually went RUG during prerelease and also pulled sorin.  I had a sold build and got first place without needing to even use sorin.  18 packs I won.....that was my best limited hall by far.
