Boon isn't good enough to pass on a good sideboard card IMO.

If we were in black it might have been.

Problem is, I don't think Gainsay is a good sideboard option. But I may be wrong, since I simply don't see it if it comes round.

it functions as straight up removal against blue decks in the late game since you'll probably have mana open later, and i see a lot of blue decks in this format
so yeah gainsay

Fade - it's removal, rstnme
Mark - don't really know why
Ox - you never know, somebody might really play Demolish
Boulderfall - cause Commander won't let me take the uberbroken Island

I've run demolish to kill heliod's spear/nylea's bow. So, yeah, it's possible it might be run.

I heart name-drops

Presence, mark, ox, and tear up the last card.

I rarely end up playing those enchant removal spells, and if I think I need them enough I MIGHT side them in.

Presence however I will play. Cantrip + mana fixer.

Swine! That card is bananas. Yes, the blue emissary is the best emissary, but turning all your opponent's creatures/bombs into manageable threats is nice, especially since we can tap out with our prophet on the field.

True, I forgot about the Prophet, which is also a 2/3. Duh!

Voyaging Satyr

When you can play four-drops on turn three, all else is secondary.

A number of very solid cards this pack, but I'll admit I've never drafted a Curse of the Swine.

I do however know how incredible Bestow is with a Prophet.

Originally I thought Emissary, but I'll go Swine since I have yet to play it. It may be better.

It's really a toss up between emissary and the bacon generator. Hate passing the satyr too. They all go with prophet even. I think the satyr is out because it's a common we will likely see more of.

I think curse of the swine. Emissary really needs evasion to shine. Curse can shatter a board stall or save us in the early game.
