Give the opponent as little an opening as possible. But if you go against a dedicated graveyard hate sideboard, you're going to have a tough time either way, because as you already pointed out with your list of hate cards, all those cards are cheap and have either a static or an instant-speed activated hate ability. On the positive side: when going the counter route, the hoser spells' low costs and specific type can be to your advantage. Cards like Spell Snare, Mental Misstep and Annul protect your graveyard for minimal costs.įirst: Sideboard in anti-graveyard hate. The most common of these cards is Nature's Claim, because the most powerful graveyard hate cards are enchantments & artifacts (note how many of the hate cards you mention fall into this category).įor example if you're expecting the opponent to have Leyline of the Void, bring in something that can kill enchantments. Second: Against one-shot effects such as Surgical Extraction and Faerie Macabre, you play around graveyard hate by not using all your graveyard pieces at once. Try to get your graveyard to the point where the opponent needs to use their hate cards, but you haven't committed all of yours. For example, suppose you're playing Dredge and the most explosive play you have is to Cathartic Reunion to discard Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Thug. However if the opponent might have Faerie Macabre, that would result in a blowout. You play around this by not discarding both your dredgers, only one. If the opponent doesn't have Faerie Macabre, you expect to be able to generate enough value to overpower him anyway. If the opponent does have Faerie Macabre, you still have one dredger in hand. This works because you should have more graveyard pieces than the opponent has hate cards.
