Sideboard plans with Lurking Skirge
- Contamination vs. Mono Black, Pit Rack, Zombies, Clerics and Reanimator. Contamination does nothing to a black deck's mana, so against them the sideboard brings creature answers: Diabolic Edict, in about four of ten sideboards, and Lurking Skirge, which becomes a 3/2 flier as soon as one of their creatures dies.
