Let's say your deck is an Aggro filled with fast creatures and your opponent, a Midrange, will put in some sweepers that deal with it without hurting them too much since they rely on bigger creatures, making it difficult for you to win the Game 2 quickly, and they will easily have the upper hand since their cards get better as the game goes on.
This is the simple part to explain in terms of Sideboard, but let's go now to what really matters and, commonly, it causes a lot of difficulty for less experienced players and/or those who are less used to deckbuilding and competitive games. That is, you cannot remove something from your Maindeck without putting something from the Sideboard in its place. The purpose of Sideboard is essentially to improve your game against your opponents by removing the bad cards against their deck in exchange for better options that are available from those 15 cards - thus increasing your odds of winning the next games.Īlthough you can play with more than 60 cards in your Maindeck, you cannot have more than 15 cards in your Sideboard after completing the process. You can exchange cards from your Maindeck for cards from your Sideboard between games 2 and 3 of the Best of 3 matches, which is the primary mode of tabletop tournaments in basically every competitive events. If you are just starting to play Magic: The Gathering, or are used to playing only Best of 1 in Magic Arena, the Sideboard is a combination of up to 15 cards that are separate from your maindeck (usually, with 60 cards).
