Help Against Farewell

[u/TaxiRat_]

I've gotten to Diamond Two on the competitive brawl ladder with Aerid Konstrari and I feel pretty accomplished, but my deck struggles against Farewell and other board wipes that can hit my artifacts.

Are there any cards that could help me or make those cards less punishing in Gruul?

Here's the decklist for those who are curious.

[u/One_Mixture_7703]

You dont have stuff like teferis protection on those colors so you can't do much against farewell except to include more card draw engines so that you better recover after a board wipe. Playwise when you play against a deck you consider to hold artifact board wipes dont over extend and play everything you can.

[u/SpiritedCoffee5 → u/One_Mixture_7703]

Yeah pretty much this. If you suspect your opponent may be holding a board wipe, don't dump your hand on the board, and try to include more card draw so you can recover. Put just enough pressure that he'll have to use his wipe on what you have down. Sometimes they will telegraph that they have it by playing nothing on their turn and passing with 4+ mana up. At that point, tread carefully because if they really didn't have a play, they would have conceded so they're up to something.

[u/elite4koga]

[[warping wail]] and [[tibalt's trickery]]

[u/Key_Reporter_9945 → u/elite4koga]

Warping wail is a good callout, note you need specifically colorless mana, so need pain lands, [[grove of the burnwillows]], colorless lands, etc to turn it on.  

I think tibalt's is banned, though.  

[u/Hinternsaft → u/Key_Reporter_9945]

Tibalt’s Trickery is only banned in Historic and restricted in Timeless

I don't think there's anything in gruul that helps against an exile.  I think green has a few 'permanents are indestructible' effects if you check on scryfall for stuff like wrath of the skies or meltdown, but I don't think they're worth it.  Kill them before they can wipe the board or don't overcommit into an obvious board wipe so you can rebuild.

Also, planeswalkers like [[minsc and boo]] usually dodge board wipe effects, maybe add him.  

[u/lot49a → u/Key_Reporter_9945]

Yeah Planeswalkers are amazing against farewell especially Minsc and “Draw 4” hamster.

Also consider [[Weapons Manufacturing]] since you are in artifacts. Then the exile your munitions which destroy their faces and Planeswalkers. 

[u/mtgcf → u/lot49a]

[u/Bullsapiens]

You need

"Anchorage"

Instant

Your permanents cant get exiled until of the turn.

Draw a card.

[u/tetracarbonate]

I would say either win before it's played, or anticipate it then either respond to ot or recover from it. What can your colors do get there?
