this is the version i think i plan on running come M11. Creatures - 29 4x Birds of Paradise  4x Lotus Cobra  1x River Boa  4x Fauna Shaman  4x Nest Invader  4x Kozilek's Predator  4x Vengevine  4x Wolfbriar Elemental  Other - 7 4x Eldrazi Monument  2x Garruk Wildspeaker  2x Beastmaster Ascension  Lands - 23 1x Dread Statuary  3x Khalni Garden  4x Misty Rainforest  2x Verdant Catacombs  13x Forest  Sideboard - 15 1x River Boa 2x Naturalize  3x Plummet  3x Tajuru Preserver  3x Leatherback Baloth  3x Leyline of Vitality  I've been debating running a g/b version with grave titan  , and some other goodies. but haven't come close to finalizing that decklist. Fauna is nice for dropping vengevine into the graveyard, either grabbing another vengevine, or a different creature i might need to facilitate what i'm attempting to do. either go up and over with the monument, have 7 down and drop a beastmaster ascension, or Garruk laying down some trample action. in the sideboard i have plummet to deal with flying nonsense. naturalize for the mirror, and for conscription decks, tajuru for anything that tries and has me sack my creatures, another river boa for u/w control, superfriends and the like, and i put in the leylines for RDW. which is one of our worst matchups for us as it facilitates lifegain, and making our creatures a little more durable. i'm open to suggestions and hope that this list helps others in their decisions.

I was wondering what you guys sided against u/w(/r) and RDW, and what you take out for each matchup. RDW seems like the toughest matchup, but it seems like the easies to SB for. You have Leyline of Vitality , Dragon's Claw  , and Obstinate Baloth  as good possible SB options against RDW. Against control I could see Plummet for Baneslayer, maybe Pithing Needle  for walkers and/or Colonnade, Naturalize for Oblivion Ring and/or Everflowing Chalice, and maybe Autumn's Veil  to make an Overrun or Monument stick. Those all seem like decent options, but what do you side out for them?

I have been running 2x Overgrown Battlement  maindeck with 2 more in the board. I have also been running 4x Lightning Bolt and 4x Flame Slash maindeck as well and they do a very good job of shutting the deck down. aside from some lucky draws, RDW is not a real problem.

My sideboard right now is for an Elf deck and looks like this:
SB
3 x *Mycoloth 
4 x *Vines of Vastwood 
1 x *Ant Queen 
1 x *Joraga Warcaller 
3 x *Windstorm 
3 x *Rampaging Baloth 
Windstorm is awesome against both matchups you mentioned, being instant it can take out Kargan, Hell's Thunder, Emeria Angel + tokens, Baneslayer, Jwar Isle Sphinx, etc. and all for a very decent price. It's a universal kill. The card also RAPES Vampires. I run 4 Nature's Claim  in the main for the mirror, conscription decks, O-Ring, and anything else that may be a problem.

Playing a bad deck in order to be original is like using crappy tools to build something. Not only does it look bad in the end, but nobody really thinks that you're cool for being unwilling to do things the way a professional would.
Look at the card. Now back to Jace. Now back to that card, now back to Jace! Sadly, it isn't Jace, but if it stopped being a junk rare and became relevant, it could act like it's Jace. Crack some Worldwake. What do you have? You have a Jace, the card you wish this card could be like. Look again. THE CARD IS NOW A $75 BILL. Anything possible when you play Magic with Jace and not junk rares.
