ToolmasterOfBrainerd TheFoilAjani So I expect a bunch of at some places. I opened Chandra, Flamecaller at the prerelease, you think it's a good sideboard card against those decks, and what should come out for it?

So sideboarding against Eldrazi:
The only things that I would bring in out of the stuff in your board would be Crumble to Dust, Ghost Quarter, Surgical Extraction, and Painful Truths, taking out pyromancer, both abbots, and a kolaghan's command.
So the way to beat the processors version is to counter the big payoff card and kill the middle guys. Terminate on the Oblivion sower then mana leak the ulamog usually just gets there if you have a turn one or two threat.
A turn two flipped delver or turn two tasigur will put a lot of pressure on, but really the flyer is the main thing to protect. Crumble and GQ target Eye or Temple obviously, painful truths comes in to try to get further ahead, and surgical almost always targets oblivion sower. Without that the deck just has a harder time getting to the end game.
Really, this matchup is just difficult for you but if you pay attention to the other guy's board you should be able to get reads on what's happening and respond accordingly. The eldrazi deck is super straightforward, so there isn't much technicality in knowing how to beat it. It just comes down to draws.

@DevoidMage Thanks a lot!
Yesterday, after I saw your list, I was thinking that I could build it. Then I saw the price on Eye of Ugin... Maybe not right now.

I feel like you should not run the Forked Bolt, it is pretty bad card disadvantage. Mabye Electrolyze?

@AtomicEmpireElectrolyze costs 3 and isn't very efficient. Forked Bolt can be Snapped back easily and answers what I need it to.

Also 4 Mana Leak seems like it would be absolutely terrible.

@AtomicEmpire a lot of decks have problems with counterspells because they don't make plans around having 1 thing countered.
The biggest reason you want 4 is to always have one. Disrupting your opponent from playing a good creature or card on the early turns will give you the best chances at surviving to the late game, where you can unleash your burn, play big threats, and gain lots of card advantage.
