How do MTG sideboards work?

Honestly, sideboards are overrated. Just play a solid main deck.

In Magic The Gathering, your sideboard is like your personal toolbox. It's a set of up to 15 cards that aren't in your main deck but can be swapped in between games of a match. Think of it as your secret weapon stash; you use it to adjust your strategy based on what your opponent is playing. So, after the first game, you can switch cards in and out from your sideboard to better counter your opponent's moves in the next games. Just remember, your deck must return to its original configuration for the next match.

Been playing MTG for years and here's the thing with sideboards: They're where strategy meets flexibility. You see what your opponent's up to in game 1, then tweak your deck with your sideboard cards for games 2 and 3. It's like changing your game plan at halftime to seal the deal.
