What has been people's general trends on sideboarding? I know this is largely affected by what your flex spots are, but a general guide would be helpful.
With Bant Eldrazi dominating the Open, what are people's thoughts on breaking the mirror? Iirc, Training Grounds was an interesting card to help against the mirror.
Anyone have any good ideas for sideboard? I had a pretty decent idea of sideboarding after following all of Haumph's stream, but was a little confused when LSV ran a completely different sideboard. For example LSV had Thought Knots and Drowner of Hopes in his side which I'm still trying to figure out what they're in for.
Duskwatch helps find all three of your combo as well as fuels your hand throughout the entire game. You also need Zulaport when you are going for the kill. At that point in time it is very likely you have a Sifter in play which would allow you to infinite scry through your whole deck to find one.
BBD and Mike Sigrist added World Breaker to their sideboard. Anyone have any idea what it would be for? Seems like a big step from Sigrist's idea of Natural Conclavist's
Linvala was more of an evasive flier that is hard to kill. With many of the black decks running Grasp, Languish and Ult price, the only card that kills her is Ruinous Path. Linvala avoids Grasph and Languish but is open to Ult. Sigarda is nice though against the rise of black control decks as it protects you from hand disruption, though at 5 mana, who knows how many cards in your hand are left.
With everyone in favor of Declaration, would you choose that over Stasis Snare? I've been finding it hard to figure out where to cut cards from the MB since everything seems to work so well.
Edit: Also I know Sigarda is good against control decks since it is tough to kill. Sigrist also liked Linvala due to its ability to turn the corner against Bant CoCo and Humans. To save room on sideboard, what are people's thoughts on combining both by switching them out for a DL Dromoka? Its uncounterable, has lifelink, and is multicolored with a big butt to avoid removal.
What are people's thoughts on Anticipates? I was thinking of going back to a more controlling version similar to what was ran when we had Dig Through Time. Yes, I know 3 vs 7 is a huge difference, but it does allow us to filter through our deck, and lower the number of combo pieces.
You could also switch the Stomping Ground to a Breeding Pool to use the eight blue fetches. You are more susceptible to Choke, but having access to those 4-5 islands is key against the burn decks.
Sorry I guess I was looking more towards what do you take out against certain match-ups.

How have you been liking the Sorin, Solemn Visitor? What match-ups does he really shine in?
How do you like Damnation, and what match-ups do you normally side it in?
Did you think 4x Feed the Clan is excessive? Is burn that heavy in your meta?
Congrats on the win too.
