Please help me constructing a sideboard!

Standard Deck Help forum

I have no idea where to start with a sideboard on this deck.

I like the deck, I think it's different from most of the good ones out there, and I think it's pretty good!

Please help me with constructing an effective sideboard.

TIA

Start by determining what your worst matchups are. The deck looks somewhat weak to heavy control, i.e. Esper, so I'd consider at least 3 copies of Negate to bring in over those removal spells. From there, just spells that do more specific things in those crappy matchups.

Here's what I'd go with:
2x Negate - You need to answer planeswalkers more easily.
3x Dispel - To blank instant-speed removal and counters
2x Kozilek's Return - While it's not amazing in your deck, you need a way to stop decks that go broad
3x Reality Smasher - To combat control, you're weak to Ultimate Price in the main board
2x Thought-Knot Seer - To attack any deck that is weak to hand distruption
1x Invasive Surgery - Gets rid of hand disruption, Seasons Pasts, Languish, Dark Petiton...
2x Displacement Wave - Get rid of all tokens for .

It's just a rough idea, but I definitely think you should have answers in your sideboard, as well as some amount of threats that converge from your Mainboard Game Plan.
