So I'm new to the modern format and I'm not sure what types of builds are out there that I will run up against since I missed most of the sets that are the meat and potatos of modern. I'm running a soul sisters build and I was wondering if {Angel of Jubilation} would be a viable card to run sideboard against any of the decks out there. Can anybody list decks or cards that this will protect against? This card seems better in modern than standard.

It's good against {Birthing Pod} especially melira pod. (Shut down combo)
{Dismember} or other phyrexian mana spells.
It's okay against {Birthing Pod}, however there are better cards you could use against that deck, like {Pithing Needle} or {Nevermore} (it's a bit harder to remove but you lose the creature buff)
It's entirely up to you, but I personally would take {Pithing Needle} to stop Pod.
Usualy you board {Torpor Orb} against birthing pod because those decks always play enters the battlefield triggers.
{Stony Silence} and {Damping Matrix} or just artifact hate is also good against it.
I was thinking about the hate function and pumping the weenies up. If you have a angel out and a {Honor of the Pure} even the sisters have to be dealt with. Any other sac based decks to watch out for? Thanks for the input guys.

I can't reay think of any other sac decks. I guess Affinity sacs some of its creatures like {Arcbound Ravager} but that's not the main win method, and you probably won't lose from that.
We totally forgot something.

{Angel of Jubilation} only stops creature sacs
What about the pay 1 life portion? Never realized that would possibly stop fetch lands.
