I'm going to FNM tomorrow night and I don't have a sideboard for my elf deck I made back on Origins pre release weekend. Outside of Eyeblight Massacre it lacks any solid removal, but aside from Ultimate Price what could I use that would be easy to acquire at last minute? What I'm really hoping for is a solution to Siege Rhino that doesn't involve lucking into Gilt-Leaf Winnower

Murderous Cut could be what you want, even if it's a tad expensive. You could always try to get lucky with Despise as well!

@nobodygaming I am running into a similar situation. I know Hangarback Walker is a threat Siege Rhino is a threat. The new mono white angel can or most likely be a threat for esper control. Green is loosing a ton of love by OCT.

Going to second Studiocascade here. Cut and Despise will help a lot.

Really, though, Elf decks don't really want/need removal. Once you get Chord of Calling and Collected Company online, your end-game is finding your Shaman of the Packs, not killing random Walkers/Rhinos that are too slow for you anyways.

And the deck dies with it.
I thought we were talking about for right now.

Self-Inflicted Wound is always a useful addition, and at uncommon should be easy to acquire.
