- Because this is the most popular deck I will give some tips in addition to the sideboard guide.
- There are two easy was to lose this match-up:
- First, not being able to counter turn 4 Gideon.
- Second, flashing back Kozilek’s Return into flashed in Archangel of Avacyn.
- Do not Spatial Contortion Sylvan Advocate if they have Dromoka’s Command mana up.
- Often the best value you’ll get out of Kozilek’s Return initial cast is killing one or two Plants/Ally tokens--do not wait and hope for better, it is important for it to be in your graveyard
- Use Anticipate on turn 2 to find counter magic.
- Do not counter Hangarback Walker or Sylvan Advocate. You eventually can put those in check with Drowner of Hope or a planeswalker then exile them with Ulamog.
- Kozilek’s Return’s flashback ability cannot be prevented by Dromoka’s Command.
