Sideboard plans with Spiritual Focus
- White Weenie vs. Landstill, Tron, BW Control, Dromar Control and The Solution. Against BW Control and Dromar Control also bring Spiritual Focus and Cursed Scroll; out: Worship, two Silver Knight and a Tithe, keeping Glorious Anthem against their Engineered Plague. Winter Orb lets each player untap only one land, which hurts a deck of counterspells more than your one- and two-drops, and Spiritual Focus gains you 2 life and draws a card for each card their Duress or Gerrard's Verdict makes you discard.
- White Weenie vs. Mono Black, Zombies, Clerics, Deadguy Ale and The Rock. In: both Aura of Silence and Spiritual Focus. Aura of Silence makes Engineered Plague, Gloom, Dystopia, Pernicious Deed and Phyrexian Arena cost two more and destroys one, Spiritual Focus turns each card that Duress, Cabal Therapy or Ravenous Rats takes into 2 life and a new card, and Glorious Anthem stays to offset Engineered Plague.
- White Weenie vs. Pit Rack, Contamination and Fluctuator. Against Pit Rack, in: both Aura of Silence, Scour, Spiritual Focus and Gaea's Blessing; out: Worship, two Tithe and two Silver Knight. Spiritual Focus turns each card that Bottomless Pit, Duress or Funeral Charm makes you discard into 2 life and a new card, Scour exiles every Bottomless Pit, Aura of Silence destroys The Rack, and Gaea's Blessing shuffles three discarded cards back.
- BW Control vs. Landstill, Psychatog, Dromar Control, Mono Black and Deadguy Ale. Phyrexian Arena draws an extra card every turn, Cabal Therapy names Counterspell, Standstill or Hypnotic Specter, and Spiritual Focus gains 2 life and draws a card whenever their Duress, Gerrard's Verdict or Hypnotic Specter makes you discard.
