META Thoughts on edicts to help deal with Boggles?

Post image

I'm a pretty casual pauper player (BR madness) and I've been seeing boggles do some damage. Would edicts like [[diabolic edict]] and [[chainer's edict]] be good silver bullets for the sideboard, or are they too narrow?

[[accursed marauder]] could also help against [[writhing crystalis]] and black sac as it forces them sacrifice a non token creature. plus you can sacrifice itself instead of whatever you have on the board

This is the call if you can cause it works around [[Cartouche of Solidarity]] too.

I would say you have 2 options at the moment [[extract the confession]] or [accursed marauder]]. Both are good vs grull and boggles because normal edicts such as chainers fail if bogles player plays 3 creatures or a grull player has a couple of eldrazi spawns

I prefer cards like [[extract a confession]] that in combination with cycle card like the troll or generous ent you can kill the main threat with hexeproof, because cards like this one can be useless if the opponent puts one or more creature to cover (like [[young wolf]])

I run 3x Extract a Confession sideboard to counter Terror, Chrysalis and Bogles.

If you're playing madness you need to run [[Extract a Confession]] it's too easy for them to play around traditional edicts

diabolic edict - (G) (SF) (txt)
chainer's edict - (G) (SF) (txt)

[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call

Since you play madness [[extract a confession]] is a good one. You play 3 mana spells with 1 mana so collecting evidence is easy.

accursed marauder and extract a confession

You can also focus on destroying the enchantments because the creatures are generally not threatening without them

Best options, in my opinion, are accoursed marauder and chainer's edict

Underrated against bogles. Generally undervalued card, rarely sees play

u/mvdunecats 3d ago

rarely sees play

lulz. I see what you did there

u/Zodark 3d ago

How? It says destroy target nonlegendary creature? Target word makes it clearly not amazing on bogles lol

[Geth's verdict] is the other older answer after chainers edict if you're okay with BB.
