Good question tybasedgod, a lot of thought and experience has gone into the sideboard, I'll spend some time explaining it later... for now I'll just post the sideboard list here-> Nissa, Gideon, and lots of Deathmist Raptors -side

PlagueRats Thanks for the link, I tried your deck out and loved it, but I was going against my friend who is control heavy and I wasn't sure what to use in the sideboard. Im a new player so sideboarding is definitely not a strong point for me. Looking forward to the update!

tybasedgod, the link in my previous comment leads to a decklist showing exactly the cards I play after sideboarding listed in that mainboard with the 15 cards I swap out from this mainboard found in the the linked decks sideboard. If your question is more about strategies to playing the deck, that is more difficult to answer...

In general, assuming you draw one of the four Evolutionary Leaps, you'll want to cast that as soon as possible. Once it's in play you want to keep pressuring the opponent by playing at least one creature or Planeswalker every turn while holding enough open to re-actively sacrifice your creatures in response to the opponents removal spells. Eventually you will fetch most of the decks Deathmist Raptors and Den Protectors and as long as you can protect them from exile with Evolutionary Leap, you can megamorph a Den Protector every turn, returning all your Deathmist Raptors to the battlefield and returning another Den Protector from your graveyard to your hand for next turn.

There's no easy combo or anything that lets you just win, you have to work for it and out-play them the whole game. But, after sideboarding every card is very strong against control, always look for ways to make them spend two cards to deal with one of yours and eventually you will be playing more threats per turn then they can cast removal spells.

Also save the Declaration in Stones for when you really need them. You'll have to kill stuff like Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and large flyers with removal.

Any chance of updating this deck for standard?

Looks like 70% of the deck is falling out. I am guessing it will just be a completely different deck at that point. Might as well let this deck fall out, because there isn't much that can replace the card functions that were being used.

I've actually put together a new deck for Kaladesh that uses the Planeswalkers, Lands, and same general strategy. The main deck is much faster then this. The sideboard isn't as exciting, but should preform about the same.
