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.


Deck Description

Use spells to bring your opponents creatures to 0 power, then switch their power and toughness. for a means of control, this has a good amount of draw and doubling cube for mana acceleration if its need in order to play stormtide leviathan. Which, while not a win condition on its own, will make sure your opponent is stalled while you fly overhead with powerful sphinxes.

Deck discussion for downscale attempt 2

Everflowing Chalice, Mind Stone and Chrome Mox (among other things) are better ramp for you than Doubling cube (if you have to be able to have 7+ mana in order to ramp with it at all).

This deck really wants Isochron Scepter so you can get more uses out of those p/t switch spells.

Leviathin is definitly a win-condition on his own. He's an 8/8, unblockable (he has Islandwalk and he makes all lands Islands) and he can lock down the other players attack force.

I'd say cut a few of those Sphinxs, like Goliath, and add in more counter magic (Mana Leak, Rune Snag, etc..) that way you can control the game a bit better.

I think "Meishin, the Mind Cage" would be a nice addition

Ovinomancer is a cool card. My friend uses it, and I love it when he turns terra stompers into 0/1s. Makes me laugh.
He also looks like Tim from monty python, and the illustration is hilarious.
A reusable ovinize. Might work in your deck.
