One of the people who worked on that build (I think Michael Bravermans brother) was answering questions in the comments of a Gerry T deck spotlight on the deck. In all red mirrors he cuts the 1/1 one drops and three heelcutters for every sideboard card except roast. With his updates to the list that...

I'm really hoping treasure cruise is banned but dig is left alone just before GP Vancouver, since then I can just play dtt/snap and crush people who dismissed the deck as dead.

Swerving Remand to Swerve does NOT give you your Swerve back. It'll be in the graveyard when Remand tries to resolve, and Remand will be countered on resolution. As a permission-light Delver player, the combo matchup is fine. If they don't interact, they're usually dead by turn 4. Taylor Swift kill...

Prognostic Sphinx is slightly worse than Dragon vs Abzan but much better elsewhere. I've flooded too often to add the 25th land. If I cut anything for the 3rd Field it'd be the Banishing Light, but I'm willing to pay 1 more mana for versatility. End Hostilities could in theory be the 3rd Anger, but ...

What does nullify answer that isn't answered by our removal or stroke? I feel like the upside of stroke countering walkers, dig, and Stoke outweighs countering Courser/Rider/mono red, especially when our mana is significantly worse with nullify.

what cards do you find to be the best in the mirror? I have a pretty big split modern/standard (with top8 draft) tourney this weekend that I'm making final preparations for. I expect a lot of burn and delver, with other people playing their pet decks and representing a fairly healthy meta.

What would you splash green for? Just Ancient Grudge?

I feel pretty comfortable in the Affinity matchup without it and have always seen it as a bit of a crutch.

Destructive Revelry could be alright though.

I've been really sold on 3 spell snare, it's very good against a lot of our problem cards like goyf. Spell pierce had been underwhelming lately. Remand is awesome in this deck. mana leak is fine but bad late, and this list sees the late game fairly often.

Likely playing this deck at the local Player of the Year finals, a store ran 3 qualifiers at which you earned points (sealed, standard, modern), and if you're above a certain threshold you get to play in the final event. Good prizing, and it'll be a blast as its a triple format tournament. Round 1: ...

I'm just testing with a split for the time being. What are some sideboard cards you've been testing with?

I usually use a ~25 card sideboard in testing, and then narrow it down after I've determined the matchups that need help most, so even super obscure 1ofs are sweet.

Something I'm having trouble figuring out with this deck is when you can keep 1 landers. I feel like sometimes I mull them and just end up going down to barely any cards and losing, is it something I have to get a feel for on my own or is there something specific you look for?
