I'm not sure if there is already a thread for this. I tried to search for one, but searching "Sideboard" doesn't really prove to useful in narrowing in on one thread.

My idea is to have a thread of just sideboard options against established decks. This can serve as a reference for people working a sideboard to shore up a certain matchup. Allow me to start a less-than-comprehensive list.

Mono White Stax
Energy Flux
Meltdown
KGrip
Shattering Spree
Kataki, War's Wage

ANT
Arcane Lab
Rule of Law
Pyrostatic Pillar
Chalice of the Void
Additional counterspells/discard/stifle effects
Trinisphere

LOAM
Leyline of the Void
Relic of Progenitus
Tormod's Crypt
Back to Basics
Extirpate
Perish for Agro Loam.

Goblins
Blue Blast/Hydroblast
Engineered Plague
Pyroclasm
Firespout
Pyrokenesis
The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
Goblin Pyromancer
Do or Die

Thresh
Spell Snare
Back to Basics
Blood Moon

Dystopia
Jotun Grunt
Chains of Mephistopheles

Ichroid
Relic of Progenitus
Tormod's Crypt
Leyline of the Void

Dragon Stompy
Blue Blast/Hydroblast
Shattering Spree

Survival
Spell Snare
Back to Basics
Perish
Pithing Needle

Merfolk
Do or Die

Post your thoughts in this thread and I'll update this first post every so often.

It seems somewhat superfluous in my opinion, since people who really need help sideboarding against different decks will either find out on their decks thread or the deck they're having trouble against. Plus, I think it depends so much on what deck you're playing as well, for colors, and what actually makes sense.

However, that said, it might not be bad to have a list...I just can't say how much it would actually be used.
