Ok my Human Mindshift deck has played pretty well but I know its weakness and thats what I want to build my side board around to counter it.

So mainly I want to counter Creature distruction, also I'd like some artifact hate. But I dont really know what would be best for this goal so any advice would be helpful.

I would take out 1 fiend hunter and something else and mainboard 2 Oblivion Ring s then throw the fiend hunter in the sideboard if you happened to need it.

Divine Offering is your artifact hate card in U/W

Celestial Purge : is a good color R/B color hoser.

Riders of Gavony : are nice since they give protection in creature matches, though you may or may not need that.

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben : you do run some spells, but you could side some out for her, she really dumps on control so it's ussually worth it.

those are my suggestions as far as white goes, I'm no expert on blue though so i'll let someone else help you out there but maybe counterspells? you should be run these as 2 ofs in your sideboard, with maybe a 3 of for thalia if you choose to use her.

Now looking at your current sideboard, Seance the ability is pretty weak for a 4 cmc enchantment, and quite frankly the only two targets you'd gain from using are on silverblade and snapcaster; and there's a lack of good targets for snapcaster to copy anyway. Stony Silence it's fine, but you don't need 4 of it, run 2 at most. Forced Worship There are just better versions of this out there, Bonds of Faith is probably the most suitable option for you as it has 2 uses pumping your humans or stopping their non humans, Again 2 is the amount you want to run with more sideboard items, as it allows you to have multiple "answer" cards in your sideboard, that cover multiple decks.
