You're adding Blood Baron but not Night of Souls Betrayal...
The card shuts down Infect, regardless of when it hits play. You have removal and discard, so it will hit play. If all those silly cards you mentioned because you saw them once or twice make the list, NoSB needs to as well.
Olivia Voldaren is nuts.

Vandalblast, Deprive, Flashfreeze and Kolaghan's Command I was seeing a lot. The rest I didn't add were the ones that only appeared once or twice. Exceptions to Hibernation and Sower of Temptation because I think they are potentially really good sideboard cards for delver. I will add the enchantments as I did end up finding a lot of Jund players running them, and Olivia Voldaren now.

Huh. Looking through the infect lists and I'm seeing Carrion Call and Viridian Corrupter appear on occasion. Anti Lili and Affinity match-ups?

weirdly enough,
in my junk deck, bored experimenting lead me to discover Unflinching Courage puts out CRAZY work in the sideboard in this creature-heavy meta
at least online's meta, that is.
but with naya burn, that silly mono-green undying aggro, collected elves, boggles, blistercoil/kiln fiend wishes they were competitive, anything junk, blahblahblah, ect ect ect...
shit, everyones trying to "race em with creatures" right now,
it just ends the race, and starts putting on pressure
especially if they werent expecting any enchantments from you

Rancor is the closest, since you can drop it on a goyf without much worry. But then you don't have the lifegain, which is pretty important in creature based games.

Don't play creature enchantments in midrange mirrors.
Vs Burn, less situational lifegain is much better.

But for Junk GlistenerAgent? Rancor just goes back to your hand so they can't waste removal on it. It basically allows you to freely swing into their boardstate without much worry as on average their creatures' power will not surpass the toughness of your own.
pokes ChiefBell, thoughts on Rancor for sideboard tech in Junk midrange mirrors?

You need a creature in play. Midrange mirrors are all about grinding it out into topdeck wars, frequently when your opponent has removal for your guys when you try to Rancor them. The effect isn't even gamebreaking.

Rancor doesn't help at all.
You want toughness effects so you can hold off against goyf / huntmaster / rhino etc. Rancor doesn't help with this. It also doesn't help against the removal which, as GlistenerAgent pointed out is the key problem. Sure you get it back in hand but you don't have anything to put it on.
Sigarda and Blood Baron are kings of the mirror because they dodge removal AND creatures.
Rancor actually dodges neither. It wont let you swing in safely where you couldn't before - you'll still at least trade. And it won't stop them using removal.

Disenchant shouldn't be in here, we have Revoke Existence as a direct upgrade.

I only run 1 main 2 side. I've been away from Jund awhile I guess, but I still favor 3 decay 1 terminate main versus flipped. It makes twin a lot easier to handle game 1.

Most people play 2-3 Abrupt Decay and 2-3 Terminate. Never three of both but never one of either.
July 6, 2015 3:39 p.m. Edited.
My removal is 4 bolts 3 decay 2 Pulse and 1 terminate. Adding more means I lose hand disruption or creatures. And cutting decay for terminate means I go down to 50/50 chance on game one versus twin. I don't see a benefit of switching up the numbers. Terminate is for creature based decks. We should be able to handle game 1 anyway on those match ups

Not sure what you're doing then. :) I'd have to see your decklist.

I would imagine it would be decent if Sultai control/midrange can stall infect long enough to A) find it and B) play it. I'd have to see the deck list to make final decisions.
I am however finding a few Junk players (ECE from MTGO, and I can't remember the other one) using a singleton Curse of Death's Hold in their sideboard. I also found that many are running Blood Baron of Vizkopa as a one of, so I shall add that. Some are even running Darkblast, but I'm unsure about that one.
I went through a bunch of Grixis delver decks and found these sideboard cards that I don't have already pop up:
Thoughts? I'll add Deprive, Flashfreeze, Hibernation, Kolaghan's Command, Sower of Temptation, and Vandalblast for now, as I think for Delver they are decent.
The ones that I really don't think shall be added are Blightning, Death's Shadow, Forked Bolt, Olivia Voldaren, Self-Inflicted Wound and Sun Droplet. The rest I'm unsure of.
