For non-transformational sideboard plans (such as bringing in bounce / Needle / disfigure / etc.), what gets cut from the maindeck typically? I'm asking more out of curiosity. I know that it varies from matchup to matchup, so could I get one or two matchup-specific sideboarding examples, like Miracles and Shardless BUG or something?
1) I hate losing to burn so I'm going to try out some Blue Blasts. Not the most efficient, but it hurts to lose to this matchup. I cut a Pack Rat, Echoing Truth, and Pithing Needle to make room for these, so they could totally go back in the deck.
2) Intuition can find 3 of whatever combo card or sideboard card you want. It can act as an Entomb effect, which our deck is starved of, by finding 2 Griselbrand and Children of Korlis. If a Griz is in our hand, we probably need to cast this for Entombs instead.
3) Tops have been beter than Lim-Dul's Vault for me. Preordains are something I put in to try over Gitaxian Probes, and they haven't let me down.
In a more blue-heavy metagame I expect that two Preordains would make room for two more discard spells.
