Sideboard Plans

Simic Oko

-2 Kaya’s Wrath
-1 Wishclaw Talisman
+3 Noxious Grasp
(Consider going for Duress instead on the Draw, as a turn 2 Oko is devastating)

Removing Oko is the key to this entire matchup. Doom Foretold and Oath of Kaya do the majority of the heavy lifting, but you need to remove Oko immediately to prevent a stream of food tokens than make Doom Foretold a downside rather than a win condition.

Jeskai Fires

-4 Kaya’s Wrath
-1 Wishclaw Talisman
+1 Despark
+1 Disenchant
+1 Unmoored Ego
+2 Dovin’s Veto
Do your absolute best to keep Teferi off the board, and deal with Fires as it comes down. You have free reign on their turn to kill everything and make Fires the only sac option to Doom Foretold. Ego targets are Fae of Wishes, Fires, or even Sarkhan.

R/B Aggro

-2 Thought Erasure
+2 Devout Decree
This is a great matchup, as our removal and lifegain line up very well against almost any aggro deck.

Golgari Adventures

-1 Wishclaw Talisman
-4 Thought Erasure
+3 Noxious Grasp
+2 Devout Decree
Golgari has a good amount of cheap additions to the board, so use some cheap removal to keep the board pretty clear for your Dooms and Oaths. Be careful of cards like Assassin’s Mark or Brontodon out of the board; targeted hate for Fires of Invention can hurt you as well.

Mirror

-4 Kaya’s Wrath
-1 Oath of Kaya
+3 Duress
+2 Dovin’s Veto
This is not only a battle to land a Doom Foretold, but to keep it on the board and keep the opponent’s board clear. Board out the situational board wipes and board in some meaningful interaction.
