Talrand MK2

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

I would do this:
Take Out
-4 Unsummon
-2 Elixir of Immortality
-2 Devastation Tide
-2 Jace, Memory Adept
-4 Talrand's Invocation
-4 Vanishment
-4 Think Twice
-4 Negate
Put In
+4 Vapor Snag
+4 Gitaxian Probe
+4 Ponder
+4 Delver of Secrets
+4 Gut Shot
+2 Runechanter's Pike
+4 Dissipate

The Delvers should give you some more early game presence, and cards like Dissipate and Gut Shot help maintain board control. The Miracle Cards are nice, but with Talrand a lot of smaller spells are going to be much more devastating than a few big ones.

hey, thanks pal! The deck was made so that nothing goes out this september with the standard rotation so other than mana leak everything stays in for another year.
I'll do a bit of card by card justification.
straight away all the cards put forward apart from delver and dissipate go out in a month so they're all no goes.
so that being said:
unsummon needs to stay for creature hate.
Elixir to recycle my grave if needs be.
devastation tide to board wipe if needs be.
Jace is Jace haha
talrand's invocation goes hand in hand with talrand, 4 mana for two 2/2 flyers!? yes please! plus the third!
vanishment is ace for anything hate, I found that the deck had trouble dealing with noncreature permys.
think twice is a standard two for one and instant speed draw lets me miricle in there turn too :)
and last but not least, negate! really? man it counters anything! just shy of creatures! for two mana!

so with all that, when the rotation does come I will more than likely swap the leaks for dissipate as my "counter all" card, being one more mana doesn't hurt that much lol

as for the "few big ones" there are 6 spells that are over two mana (plus two Jace) so that leaves the rest of the deck all one and two drops.. so I'm not too sure what you mean by that, I have lots of little spells to roll of Talrand, the mighty.

The only card I am thinking off is delver, I have a play set wanting to go in, just not sure where, so Thank you for your help! I have taken on board your ideas and will put them to good use! :)
