This article really needed to go into more detail. It says stuff like:
...but then doesn't tell you how to sequence your plays. It tells you to sideboard in [[The Stone Brain]] for some match-ups, but not what to name with it. Or much else about how your game plan changes in each match-up. Against Esper it tells you to sideboard out all your Nissas, which seems wild to me because I've never seen the lands deck win without Nissa on the board. There's probably something really interesting to say about that strategy, but this article doesn't say it. It doesn't do much more than inform you that the deck exists. Which is a shame, because the topic is quite timely -- a breakout deck that showed up a few weeks ago and quickly established itself as a serious competitor.
