We all know that modern is vast format and sideboarding is skill that many players need to slowly learn in order to cope with the various meta changes and stuff like this. As such, I will like to start a thread whereby we can list the few good specific sideboard cards against specific decks so that one might actually consider the various alternatives when preparing the sideboard.
@Moderators: If this is not allowed or if there is already such a list, please feel free to delete this thread.
The list are not by any means definitive and will try to have at least 3 to 5 good SB cards against that deck.I will try to update it accordingly as well accordingly to various discussion. Of course everyone will be entitled to have their own opinions but there are generally some sideboard cards which are very good against certain decks and hence the list is trying to accomplish it by listing some of those as information for those who might want to have an overview of it. Might try to do a further breakdown of specific decks archetypes in future though so please free to chip in or correct me if I make a mistake as I do not know all the decks that well.
Anybody know of some hate for 8Rack besides Leyline of Sanctity? I'm playing B/W Tokens and I always find myself losing horribly to 8Rack. Maybe something like Chalice of the Void on 1 would be pretty good? But then if they resolve an Ensnaring Bridge it's pretty much just a draw at that point.

grafdiggers hates on pod and storm.
leyline of sanctity vs burn / ad nauseum
torpor orb vs pod and twin
pithing needle vs tron
extirpate / surgical vs everything
Lately, I have seen a rise of Norin the Wary decks in my meta. Anyone of you fine gentlemen that can give a headsup on adequate SB cards vs that decktype?

Any card that gives you Hexproof/Shroud or goes onto the battlefield such as Obstinate Baloth is good.

Leyline of Sanctity doesn't work against the rack since the oracle text for the rack says 'choose' not 'target'

Night of Souls' Betrayal wrecks them (just dodge Champion of the Parish).
If you don't like your Champion-dodging odds, try Anger of the Gods and Engineered Explosives.
They swarm the board, though, so good luck!
dodecapod, bloodghast and wilt-leaf liege for when they have you discard a card, pure intentions and bottled cloister to prevent them from making you discard, sundering growth to destroy bridges, waste not, and racks, pithing needle for lily, phyrexian arena because they don't have instant speed discard, true believer if you don't want to pay for leylines, infernal tutor is really good if they get rid of your hand...you have options.
