Strategic Overview
Selesnya Company should aim to overwhelm Golgari Midrange with efficient creatures and card advantage from Collected Company. Prioritize removing key threats like Graveyard Trespasser and Old-Growth Troll with Skyclave Apparition. Golgari Midrange should focus on disrupting Selesnya's board presence with removal and leveraging planeswalkers like Liliana, the Last Hope to gain incremental advantage.
Key Cards in This Matchup
golgari-midrange Sideboard Plan
+ Bring In
− Take Out
Bring in additional removal to handle Selesnya's creature-heavy strategy. Thoughtseize can be less effective due to Selesnya's ability to recover from discard, and Graveyard Trespasser is less impactful against non-graveyard strategies.
selesnya-company Sideboard Plan
+ Bring In
− Take Out
Rest in Peace helps against graveyard synergies. Portable Hole is useful for early threats and Archon of Emeria can slow down Golgari's spellcasting. Remove less impactful creatures that don't contribute significantly to board control.
