2) The process that i took to arrive at this answer involved several hours of playtesting different deck compositions online and determining which cards work best. I soon noticed that when playing against meta decks, some cards in my main deck hadn’t any purpose. I often lost because of the dead cards in my hand. Which got me thinking about the importance of substituting those cards with more effective ones depending on the matchup. Each card was classified by what they did for me on the sideboard and by which matches they would be useful for. This process required that I look up information regarding my answer two and the statistics behind that.
3) I didn’t face many problems except not being able to go to qualifier tournaments. This was due to their distance from my home. Most of the qualifiers for standard in California had already passed and the closest ones were in Las Vegas or Albuquerque. However I was still able to get the testing information I needed online due to Cockatrice and Tournament Deck Stats that were provided.
