Hey all, I wanted to start a running list of decks to beat and sideboard tech to beat them. With the meta starting to shape up, I thought it'd be a good resource if you're looking for silver bullets against a certain deck you're weak against. Feel free to add, discuss, or refute cards and archetypes
What? There are 3 dumps in a card pool for 30 sets. This isn't Standard where your limited pool size gives credence to data dumps of this size... Relative to the card pool size and the depth of the format, these data dumps are a pretty small sample of what the potential floor and ceiling of the format are...

Legion's End is pretty good against Field of the Dead. Not as good as an enchantment perhaps, but it also serves as low-CMC creature removal. Bile Blight works too, and is probably better as a creature removal spell but the BB cost is limiting.
Well somepeople talked about Display of Dominance as a good sideboard card. I don't think it would be a huge player but the card has its additional uses outside of being a bad Veil of Summer.
It costs one additional mana and doesn't draw you a card but it can be a agressive sideboard card for key cards of the format:

For non-BGx decks, Display of Dominance seems to be a good side-board card. For GBx, I'm not sure I wouldn't load up on those other two first; I'd certainly max-out on AD in my 75 first.
Imposing Sovereign too. But Authority of the Consuls is much better for white decks. It gains life early VS blitz aggro decks, prevents from crewing vehicles right away, cannot be Oko'ed, stops Arclight Phoenix, in a way it stops every potential boogey man in the format.
It also makes me want to build an enchantress deck !

This format has a lot of things in flux right now and the initial overlap in dumps from decks does not necessarily equate to a format shaping up.
Maybe I am just being a jerk though.

I need some Storm hate - obviously for Modern, not Pioneer - but I'll try some of the things I already have first.

I don't think the card will be a huge deal but will test some in the sideboard.
Unless I'm missing something here, Hallowed Moonlight doesn't do anything against Aetherworks Marvel. You still cast the card with Marvel. Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, however, would stop it.
Aetherworks Marvel out an Immortal Sun.
(and it can't be hit by Abrupt Decay/Assassin's Trophy).
Bramblecrush seems like decent all-round non-creature removal for (big mana) green decks, especially to remove PW's or troublesome lands.
For non-BGx decks, Display of Dominance seems to be a good side-board card. For GBx, I'm not sure I wouldn't load up on those other two first; I'd certainly max-out on AD in my 75 first.

Golgari Charm would even work but it's an odd choice for the spot.
