Modern Magic — Selesnya Infect vs. Selesnya Bogles — Rematch
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 2017-07-14

Once again, I let my friend borrow my Selesnya Infect deck, which in turn contained plenty of cards that I borrowed from TJ Poole.

This is one of those matches where Simic Infect is absolutely the better suited list against its opponent. Obviously, Path to Exile is useless except against Kor Spiritdancer, but more fundamentally is that Bogles puts out such big creatures so quickly that unblockable effects, such as with Blighted Agent and Distortion Strike, are crucial. White has protection effects, which do aid in combating Path to Exile from Bogles, but the most likely color to name with Apostle's Blessing or Emerge Unscathed in the matchup is green, which also prevents your own pump spells and Wild Defiance triggers from taking effect. However, it's far from impossible, and white does give us Blessed Alliance out of the sideboard, so don't worry.

Unfortunately, this is a less finished list than you've seen from me previously. I have tried out two planeswalkers, and Ajani, Caller of the Pride definitely made the cut. However, I was unable to find one prior to this tournament.
