Sideboard vs. Mainboard Help

Deck Help forum

So in my deck Blood Baron of Mono-B Control (Feedback Please!), I am trying to find a balance in the kill spells. As of right now I am running 2 of each of - Doom Blade , Pharika's Cure (RDW is big in my meta and it answers most of their threats nicely), Ultimate Price , and Devour Flesh , bringing me to 12 kill spells (since I have the mandatory 4 Hero's Downfall ). I also have 1 more of both Ultimate Price and Pharika's Cure in the sideboard alongside 2 Last Breath . My idea is that I have the bases covered in the maindeck, and the sideboard can bring in and take out the kill spells that aren't relevant in the match up. My question is:

Should I run a more consistent approach of 3 of kill spells in the main, and side the others, or leave it at 2 of each? A big thing to note is my meta is EXTREMELY varied. There are Selesnya aggros, Esper and U/W, G/R Monsters, and both the Blue and Black Devotion decks.

Also, I run 2 Blood Barons main board, so do I put my 3rd in the main? Or put the 3rd in the sideboard?
