Brewer's Minute: Modern Sideboards - Fair vs. Unfair


From a meta perspective the deck in Modern can be broken down into to groups: fair decks, which primarily look to stop the opponent from doing broken things long enough to win with creatures and maybe planeswalkers, and unfair decks, which are looking to goldfish for the win as quickly as possible. There's a huge different in constructing a sideboard for a fair deck compared to an unfair deck, and today for our Brewer's Minute we'll delve into these difference by looking at some actual sideboards for fair vs. unfair decks in Modern!
