Modern decks are not so fragile most sideboard cards function as speed bumps in the best case, and any decently-crafted list will have outs and alternate plans that don’t get hosed by a single card. In fact, I’d say that it’s almost always correct to prioritize combo pieces over other creatures if you haven’t yet assembled the combo, even if you have a silver bullet that shuts down half of your opponent’s deck. With a two-card requirement and no redundancy, it’s very hard to justify fetching anything but a Celestial Kirin with Eladamri’s Call when you don’t have one in hand. The first, and most obvious, is that Kirin is a combo deck. “Did you forget your Panglacial Wurms? What do you mean, you’re not playing Yorion, Sky Nomad!?”Ĭertainly, that kind of all-in-one toolbox deck is a lot of fun and can be strong in especially diverse metagames, but in this case, I think it’s less optimal than the current plan for three big reasons. “Where are the spicy silver bullets?” you’re probably wondering. ![]() But even though Kirin Combo classifies as a toolbox deck, it doesn’t quite fit that brand. ![]() The first thing Magic players think of when they hear the word “toolbox” is a decklist longer than your average CVS receipt with a sideboard that’s filled to the brim with singletons.
