Not much left...

Gainsay as a sideboard option?

I'm holding off on voting until I get something cleared up;

If we try to keep going with blue, I'm guessing we should take Gainsay. If we're still totally open on a secondary colour, I'd say Commune with the Gods since green appears pretty open too.


EDIT: Alright, we'll keep going with the blue then. In that case, I'd argue Gainsay over the Chimera. It's sideboard tech, yes, but is far more effective than the Chimera, and it hits ANY blue spell (as opposed to the other colour hosers). I'd say its the best colour-hoser of the set.

Chimera. It probably won't get played, but I'd rather signal that blue is closed too.

Chimera

Honestly it doesn't matter. Gainsay is sideboard tech, as is shredding winds. Commune is alright on its own, but I highly doubt we'll be seeing green from our left.

That's pretty true, a lot of green passed by us, so it's gonna get cut when we swap directions...

Chimera I guess. I don't care for any of those cards really.

I think I would take commune here on pure speculation. Green is super deep so we could have 2 guys to our left in green and they could still pass us a bunch of coursers or communes or other things that go well in GB. Plus GB gorgons.

Mmm. Well, honestly the dudes to our left aren't getting any white either, so it might be better to spec white here than just pick a bunch of garbage we're not going to play anyway. So:

Elder, Chosen, Shores, Ox
