This section will need a revamp once the meta starts to shake out.

Kaleo42

I will be spearheading that operation with continued mini articles on bane cards.

I'm running a mill deck, so I've sideboarded 4 Tormod's Crypts.  Also 2 Talrand's Invocations, but I doubt those'll be used much.

Try {sleep} and {nihil spellbomb} (if your running black)

G33kL0rd

No black... But I actually just did away with the sideboard, I don't think there'll be too much Golgari and if there is I guess I just won't go to FNM for a while.

Got big plans for a standard sideboard. Just gotta wait for some tournaments and metas to pop up to really compile a list of sideboard cards and their applications.

This isnt tested yet, but these are the sideboard options i am thinking about.

{nevermore} this answers {thragtusk} and {geralf's messenger}, two of the most annoying cards for me right now.

{magma quake} instant speed hit most creatures and planeswalkers (which are crazy good right now and sure to be popping up more and more, i believe {dreadbore} wasnt printed to lower numbers of walkers played, it was printed to combat the growing numbers)

With all the nasty graveyard hate flying around what's the best way to Sb? Playing {B}{G}. I know after the fact a {rest in peice} comes out its easliy destroyed, but just having it hit the board once can really slow or knock your deck out of the competition
if you're relyin on you GY.
Is  {Nevermore} the best bet?
Other options?

Kaleo42

{nevermore} really is the most certain option, but {duress} has been used on me a bit to stop the T2 {rest in peace}.

Depending on the deck type, the safest option is just to side in heavy aggro and burn them out with or without the graveyard.

Right, that's a good call on {duress} and I was thinking it should be more of an aggro switch. I'm running a {B}{G} reanimate thinking Sb can be {far seek} and other ramp.....well what ramp we have left.
Thank for the help.

I'd go with {golgari charm} it destroys enchantments and messes with the field, really helpful in that situation.
