You sideboard with the goal of making your deck better suited for a matchup. Let's go over a few of the useful things your sideboard can do for you. Building and using your sideboard well will be crucial to your tournament success. Sometimes, sideboarding can be the most important factor in determining how two decks will match up against one another. Because your sideboard cards can be more specialized-pinpoint focused for a certain task or matchup-they're often your most powerful tools. For a discussion of sideboarding in Limited, see this article.) Technically speaking, it's legal to play with a deck of more than 60 cards, but at all times your deck must be at least 60 cards and your sideboard must be at most fifteen cards. After Game 1, the players have the option to swap in any number of the fifteen cards from their sideboard in an effort to tailor their deck toward winning the next game. For the first game, both players play with their main decks-their primary 60 cards that will be the same for the start of every match. Tournament matches are typically determined by a best-two-out-of-three set of games. Harder still is the task of conveying just how important those cards are, and how vital it is to choose them carefully.
It's a bit more challenging to teach them about the extra fifteen cards that come along with-yet are not part of-the deck. It's easy to explain, even to someone unfamiliar with the game, that a Magic deck consists of 60 cards, with a limit of no more than four copies of any particular card (except for basic lands, of course).
