I am taking this to a modern for the first time ever. I am new to modern what is the usual match ups? I need sb help
The main decks to beat are Splinter Twin , Jund, Affinity, Tron, American Control, and Melira Pod. Other decks you might see are Death and Taxes, Scapeshift , Storm, Living End , Infect, Burn, Fish, and American Midrange.
You'll want a sideboard with something like:
3x Stony Silence 3x Rest in Peace 4x Leyline of Sanctity 2x Nature's Claim 2x Tajuru Preserver
...with enough copies of Path to Exile to be able to side in a full playset (so you may need to tweak what I posted).

Well graveyard hate is a must. This will help against the combo matchups, and creature removal + leylines for a wider range of protection.
You'll also want something that hits artifacts and enchantments, but not in super large quantities.
With that in mind, I would reccomend a list pretty similar to the one above:
4x Leyline of Sanctity - Protects you from forced sac (i.e. Liliana of the Veil ) and things like storm.
2x Rest in Peace - Some of the best GY hate in the format, and it's another enchantment.
3x Stony Silence - Shuts down a lot of affinity, as well as more niche cards like Ratchet Bomb and Engineered Explosives .
4x Path to Exile - Instant speed removal that hits all creatures.
1x Grafdigger's Cage - Has slightly different utility from Rest in Peace . Worth having.
1x Suppression Field - Hoses twin, and has a touch of utility for other decks. Also, enchantment!
You can also have 2 Path to Exile and 2 Dismember , but thus far I have seen little reason not to just run a full 4 path.

Agreed with all of these guys. My Bogles deck is BANT, so it's a bit different but I run, 2 Supreme Verdict, 2 Stony Silence, 4 Leyline of Sanctity, 2 Troport Orb, 2 Rest in Peace, 2 pithing needle, 1 Supression Field

It's really good against Splinter Twin and sometimes Birthing Pod .

Torpor Orb also hits Snapcaster Mage , Restoration Angel , and Vendilion Clique which is a bit of a kick in the teeth to UWR.
It's definitely an option to consider for the sideboard, even as just a 1 of in place of a Stony Silence or something.

Unflinching Courage /Armadillo Cloak come out against combo since you don't really need the trample or lifelink (they won't have blockers or be dealing damage to you until they combo off). At 3 CMC they're also too slow for the matchup.
Other than that, you'll probably take out the enchantments with less relevant abilities in some combination of amounts depending on what you need to add.
The thing about this deck is you don't often need to sideboard much. It's nearly perfect for most matchups already if you get a good draw.
