In particular, Death and Taxes tends to play Rest in Peace (though Surgical Extraction and Faerie Macabre are not unheard of) while Leyline of the Void is played by 4C Loam, Maverick, every variant of Post, and occasionally in Reanimator. Unlike targeted graveyard hate, mass graveyard removal instead is usually played in slower, more grindy fair matchups. It is harder to play around because, while played in only a few decks such as Maverick or Nic Fit, it is tutorable by Green Sun’s Zenith and serves as a clock in addition to graveyard hate. Scavenging Ooze is probably the second most common form of targeted graveyard hate, but unlike others it can often show up in opposing maindecks.
Similar play patterns also allow us to deal with Faerie Macabre. When used in conjunction with Crop Rotation for either Grove or a Canopy Land, it is rather simple to protect against Surgical Extraction, provided one plays attentively. Indeed, cycling occurs at instant speed and is essentially ”uncounterable,” so it is an ideal way to save our Loams. Surgical Extraction can be played around by simply holding up Grove of the Burnwillows if the target is Punishing Fire, or a cycle land if the target is Life from the Loam. The presence of Surgical is even further exacerbated by the printing of Mystic Sanctuary, allowing fair blue decks to repeatedly use Surgical Extraction by simply putting it back on top of their deck. This is to be expected, as Snapcaster Mage allows fair blue decks to recurr Surgical Extractions by flashing them back for maximum efficiency and flexibility, given the instant nature of both cards. Generally, any Snapcaster or Delver deck will play Surgical Extraction. Targeted removal includes cards like Surgical Extraction, Scavenging Ooze and occasionally Faerie Macabre: Graveyard hate can be divided into two main categories: Targeted and Mass Removal.
The most commonly played sideboard hate cards encountered as a Lands pilot generally involve graveyard hate first and foremost, and then subsequently non basic land hate. In order to better appreciate the sideboard choices made, let us analyze first the typically played sideboard cards against Lands.
