15 sideboard cards


Notes:
{Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch} {2}{B}{R}
First strike, haste, unleash
Each other creature with a +1/+1 counter on it has haste.

Just an idea I threw together during class.  I like Exava as a 4/4 for 4 first strike in a game where an aggro feel is necessary and a 3/3 first strike for 4 in a game against aggro.  But, she only warrants a 2-of maindeck IMO.  Sideboard is kinda split to go more control or more aggro/midrange.

May want to cut down on like 2  {Cavern of Souls}. They are great for creatures but 4 lands that produce colorless mana for all those other spells may end up hurting you big time if you flood out on them say mid match

I had kinda thought about dropping it to 2.

I really just made this because I like Rakdos and I like Exava, but I don't like aggro :P  I actually want to playtest this now, though.
