The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
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 want to create a successful combo deck for standard. I thought Biovisionary might be a good way to do that. However, I'm certain it needs some tweaking and I'm fairly new to the Standard format. I also need help with the sideboard because I don't really know what decks to expect to face.
1. Mana ramp, making sure to get those cheap creatures out there.2. Throw down Biovisionary with counterspell support.3. Put down Infinite Reflection onto the 'visionary for the win.

.... No, this wont work. You wont be able to keep the visionary alive for the entire combo to go off. Not to mention, aggro will sweep right under you, control will swing at you for a lot, and not even a fist full of counters will prevent damage being dealt. Keep the infinite reflection, but putting more than one way to get him out. Grab some good cards that can fight back while you do it too.Seance, back from the brink, clone, and evil twin. Are all good cards to consider. Not to mention, you might have a ditto deck when you are done.

Yeah I figured it was way too slow. To be honest, I'm not certain I could do a whole lot to actually make this worthy. I might see what can be done with it anyway. Thanks for the excellent suggestions.

Invisble stalker + Stolen Identity. Free copy of the visionary every turn as well as an alternate win con if the game goes on too long. As for the sideboard, the best thing to do is think about standard decks that are big right now. GW, GU, and GR are all big right now and all of them feature a full playset of thragtusk, so an arresting enchantment is the best way to deal with him. Simic is also growing so Devastation Tide might be good for the evolve dekcs--it'll set them back a lot whereas you can just recast your visionaries. Idk about how prevalent it is, but I play flashback in standard, and I know there are cards in block to deal with flashback, undying, and scavenge. Most of them will also take out golgari dekcs. In general, for most creatures, I'm personally partial to silent departure--espeically in GU. Hopefully that helps a little bit. If you get a chance, check out some of my decks. I'm working on a simic standard and a monoblack standard right now--they might even give you some ideas!
If they are running a full set of thragtusk, they are running a full set of restoration angel, pacifism or arrest will not help you in that situation, except put you down a card. Possibly, the best thing you can do about a thragtusk is copy or take control of the sucker.
Thanks for the advice! I've also been wanting to delve into a standard Simic deck of late. I've been playing for years and this is basically my first go at standard, so I'm trying to get up to speed on the meta. I'll be sure to check your decks out!
