CoCo sideboard cards?

Standard forum

Pretty straight forward, what kind of cards can sideboard into a CoCo deck in this standard? I'm playing abzan but interested in general discussion about CoCo in standard as well.

I like Hornet Nest and Grim Haruspex as good cards, as well as the obvious Reclamation Sage. What else do people think is good? is Hushwing Gryff worth playing in standard?

especially interested in something that's good against aggro/burn, if there's any creature I'm just anaware of for lifegain at under 3CMC.

I'm talking about tonight, so origins isn't something I'm concerned with yet.

Arashin Cleric or Nyx-Fleece Ram, they both have pros and cons, are lifesavers against burn, specifically mono-red/atarka-red. It's either 3 life instantly with a 1/3 body for clearing out tokens or gaining a life every turn with a 0/5 body for stalling until you get your deck rolling.

hmm. I wish I had checked this before I played tonight. Nyx-Fleece Ram is an awesome choice, also blocks Siege Rhino well (there's another abzan aggro player to worry about).
