Magic Online / MODO / MTGO Daily Event Legacy - June 2015

It finally happened...I have RUG built on MODO.

See above for the RUG lists I have been playing. The deck has been doing great other than I keep losing my last round to Miracles or Jeskai Stoneblade... The main deck is pretty stock minus the Forked Bolt / Dismember split. There is a lot of Grixis Delver running around at the moment with Gurmag Angler so I could see going back to x2 Dismember. As a general rule, I hate having dismember in my deck since it is dead vs. combo decks and control decks (usually) but it has been pretty good for me online so far.

Moving to the only part that I am not sure of...the sideboard.

Sideboard 1:
1 Blue Elemental Blast   
1 Envelop   
2 Flusterstorm   
1 Spell Pierce   
1 Forked Bolt   
2 Grim Lavamancer   
1 Pyroblast   
1 Sudden Demise   
1 Sulfuric Vortex   
3 Destructive Revelry   
1 Grafdigger's Cage

Sideboard 2:

1 Blue Elemental Blast   
1 Envelop   
2 Flusterstorm
 
1 Spell Pierce   
1 Vendilion Clique   
1 Forked Bolt   
2 Grim Lavamancer   
1 Pyroblast   
1 Sudden Demise   
3 Destructive Revelry   
1 Grafdigger's Cage   


I like that I have managed to cut the targets for Wear/Tear against Miracles in sideboard 2. The downside it is that it makes me cut the cards that are best against Miracles. I haven't fully fleshed out if it is better to have the powerful cards or turn off 1/2 of their post sideboard cards.

The cards I am talking about are:

Pithing Needle
Null Rod
Sulfuric Vortex
Sylvan Library
Winter Orb

The jury is still very much out on this one.

The rest of the sideboard feels very good. I think I am still the only person running 3 Destructive Revelry but it is good for me every time I cast it. I have blown up several Counterbalances and Bloodmoons which always feels good. Ancient Grudge doesn't do that.
