First of all, our initial hands are already awkward as hell. We're playing a four color deck here. A hand with Tamiyo as its main threat and no way to fix the mana is a mulligan, and we don't want any more of those.
I personally love Tamiyo as a card, but I don't think this is her deck. She's not sideboard material, since she's just a "win more" card in matchups we're already favored in. And she's lackluster MB compared to our other big dudes. If you're looking for a card against control/slow decks, I'd just run Elspeth or World Breaker.

Guys, completely noob question here, but how do you pilot the BGx match-ups? Common sense tells me they should be favorable, but I do not manage for my life's sake to land a win.

You want to land an early TKS and take out their payoff card. Choose the card you can deal with the earliest (e.g. if they have Wurmcoil and Karn and you have a negate in hand, take the Wurmcoil out). Try hitting them as fast as possible; reality smasher is the clock you want. For sideboard bring in hard-counters (if you run disdainful stroke, that should be optimal. If not, negate, denial and u-will can deal with Ugin and Karn). If you're playing against regular tron, bring in stony silence since it shuts down their maps, cantrips and oblivion stone. Tron's biggest weakness is that it needs its cantrips to be mildly consistent, and you should exploit that. If you're playing against Eldrazi Tron, bring in Blessed Alliance as well. For regular tron, I'd cut down on the paths, but not completely, in case you have to deal with Wurmcoil, World Breaker, or god forbid, Ulamog.

Weird, I've never had any problems with Ad Nauseam. Game one TKS disrupts their plan long enough for you to take the game hitting them fast. G2 I bring in my counter package (1x negate 2x stubborn denial) and 2x Stony Silence to shut down bloom.

I noticed you SB'ed TKS against Jund. While I do get the logic of that (bad in a lategame where neither of you has any cards in hand), since it's one of the cards that lead to our nuttiest draws, I've never considered taking the guy out. How did you feel about that?
