Sideboard plans with Anarchy
- Sligh vs. RG Zoo and White Weenie. Against White Weenie, in: Anarchy, the third Cursed Scroll and Flaring Pain; out: the same three cards. Anarchy destroys every white permanent, Silver Knight, Soltari Priest, Absolute Law and Circle of Protection: Red included, Cursed Scroll is colorless and still kills a protection-from-red creature, and Flaring Pain gets your damage through the Circle for a turn.
- Sligh vs. Landstill, Psychatog and Stasis. Against Landstill also Anarchy, Flaring Pain and the third Cursed Scroll; out: both Goblin Patrol, three Jackal Pup and Reckless Abandon, since Wrath of God punishes extra creatures, while Ball Lightning is never on the battlefield when they cast it. Anarchy destroys Circle of Protection: Red, Humility and Exalted Angel, and Flaring Pain gets damage through the Circle for a turn.
- Sligh vs. UG Madness, Replenish, Gro-a-Tog and Aluren. Against Replenish also Anarchy and Pyrostatic Pillar for Reckless Abandon and a Jackal Pup: Pillar punishes Intuition, Frantic Search, Attunement and Seal of Cleansing, and a Blast aimed at a resolved Attunement misses, since it returns to hand in response.
- Sligh vs. The Solution, Dromar Control and Tron. Against all three, in: Anarchy, Pyroblast and Red Elemental Blast; out: both Goblin Patrol and Reckless Abandon. Anarchy destroys Circle of Protection: Red, Warmth, Exalted Angel, Meddling Mage and Mother of Runes, and the Blasts counter their counterspells and Hydroblasts or destroy Lightning Angel and Meddling Mage.
- Sligh vs. Enchantress. In: Anarchy, Flaring Pain and both Earthquake. Anarchy destroys every white permanent, Confinement, Parallax Wave, Seal of Cleansing and Sterling Grove included.
- Sligh vs. Deadguy Ale, BW Control and Rebels. Against Deadguy Ale, in: Anarchy and Flaring Pain; out: both Goblin Patrol. Anarchy destroys Circle of Protection: Red, Warmth and Exalted Angel, Flaring Pain gets damage through the Circle for a turn, and Price of Progress punishes BW Control's Caves of Koilos, Dust Bowl and cycling lands. Against Rebels, in: Anarchy and both Lava Dart; out: both Goblin Patrol and Reckless Abandon. Anarchy destroys all their Rebels at once, and Lava Dart kills Ramosian Sergeant and Defiant Falcon before they can tap.
- Sligh vs. Reanimator and Full English Breakfast. Against Reanimator, in: Anarchy and both Lava Dart; out: both Goblin Patrol and Reckless Abandon. Anarchy destroys a reanimated Akroma or Phantom Nishoba, and Lava Dart kills Putrid Imp, their discard outlet.
- Sligh vs. The Black Vise build. Nick Moran's 15 from the BCDL Open 5: four Pyroblast, four Overload, three Earthquake, two Price of Progress and two Anarchy. Against Landstill also both Anarchy for two Mogg Fanatic, against The Solution both Anarchy for both Price of Progress, and against Stasis two Overload for Black Vise and Cursed Totem, with both Cursed Scroll going out, since paying {3} each turn is hard under the lock. Against Rebels also both Anarchy for the fourth Black Vise and a Pyrostatic Pillar. Against White Weenie and Reanimator, in: both Anarchy; out: two Black Vise. Against Enchantress, Deadguy Ale, BW Control and Tron, in: both Anarchy; out: two Seal of Fire.
- Goblins vs. Mono-red lists. Neal Sacks' 15 from the ELD Open: a second Goblin Goon, two Anarchy, Mogg Salvage, two Overload, three Pyrokinesis, three Red Elemental Blast and three Tormod's Crypt; his main deck has Goblin Goon, Skirk Prospector and a second Goblin Tinkerer instead of the green cards. Against Landstill, in: the three Blasts and both Anarchy, which destroys Circle of Protection: Red, Humility and Exalted Angel; out: three Gempalm Incinerator, Goblin Sharpshooter and Skirk Prospector. Against The Solution, in: the three Blasts and both Anarchy; out: both Goblin Tinkerer, two Siege-Gang Commander and Skirk Prospector. Against Replenish, in: all three Crypts, both Anarchy and a Red Elemental Blast; out: three Gempalm Incinerator, both Goblin Tinkerer and Goblin Sharpshooter. Anarchy destroys Opalescence and Parallax Wave, which Replenish returns unless a Crypt has emptied their graveyard. Against Enchantress, in: both Anarchy; out: both Goblin Tinkerer. Against BW Control and Deadguy Ale, in: both Anarchy and the second Goblin Goon; out: both Goblin Tinkerer and Goblin Sharpshooter. Against Tron, in: both Anarchy; out: Goblin Sharpshooter and a Gempalm Incinerator.
