TES- Burning Wish, there is probably at least 1 empty the warrens main, but burning wish cuts off a lot of the game plan.
Reanimator- Exhume (or just a fatty that's hard to deal with like tidespout/grave titan but I'm sticking with exhume), reanimate hurts, and animate dead dies to pridemage/abrupt decay giving us more game against it (and a reanimator pilot will probably cut these first for more disruption).

Then things get weird with fairer decks:
Delver decks can be all over the place, maybe brainstorm because that will hit. Leovold if you've seen him is probably a nice target.
D&T?- Mom? SFM? This deck frustrates me no matter what I'm playing *Kanye Shrug*.
Burn- Probably not casting this, although fireblast might be a nice thing to not worry about.
Eldrazi- Might be right to name Reality Smasher. I can usually find myself dealing with TKS, but the 5/5 trample make the team 5/5 is hard to cope with.


Anyways, if anyone has input on various match ups I would appreciate entertaining the thought.
Boarding in goblins doesn't happen much against us because we play Pernicious Deed.
Against Reanimator I normally name Griselbrand. After Grisel they can make Iona (who we can potentially race or remove) or Elesh Norn (who is a slow clock and we can probably just kill). Grave Titan just gets chumped for three turns and then you have the mana to Deed it away, or otherwise gets removed. Tidespout is good, but if they haven't also got Griselbrand they probably aren't casting that many spells immediately and it's no harder to remove than anything else.

Delver - depends what threats they've made. Naming Lightning Bolt against red builds gives you a lot more security. If you're casting it on turn two or something, taking Goyfs removes a lot of their powerful threats. I don't know why you boarded this spell in here though.
D&T - Again, you don't want to board Games effects in here, but I'd be tempted to say Phyrexian Revoker or Flickerwisp, since they're two of the better cards against our deck.
Burn - yeah, Fireblast is the way to go. I could see maybe naming Sulfuric Vortex if I had a lot of lifegain available.
Eldrazi - TKS is more of a problem imo. It comes down way earlier and takes the interaction you want. 5/5 mimics just get blocked by explorers, then you untap and Deed their stuff.

All four of those I wouldn't sideboard into extraction effects against, though.
