Level One: Sideboard Plans
How to build and execute sideboard plans: unify 15-card construction with in-match decisions, matchup by matchup.

Fifteen sideboard cards mean nothing without a written plan. Reid forces the link: what comes out, what comes in, and which role you play game two. Read this the night before your first RCQ.
