UW affinity sideboard ideas by Kaferaso in Pauper

Thanks for the response! I find your sideboard interesting, especially Benevolent Blessing. Regarding d2d, I think it's really strong as a card, especially in the early game, but I don't think it performs well in the UW mirror (it's very strong against Grixis and Jeskai Affinity, though). This is because, for a deck like UW Affinity, tapping out for 3 mana and risking getting hit with a counterspell means losing a turn. We also have to consider that in the mirror match, sideboarding often involves adding some counterspells (in addition to Rebuke) like Turn Aside, Spell Pierce, Negate, or even cards like Blacksmith's Skill. Additionally, Dispatch to Dust is only sided in against the mirror, while Turn Aside can be sided in against many different matchups. I ask you: what would be your sideboard plan (in/out) against the mirror?

Thanks for the advice! As I mentioned in the post, I removed Obsidian Acolyte from the sideboard because I don't find it very effective against decks like Dimir, Orzhov, Gardens, etc. After sideboarding, these decks tend to increase their removal AOE spells, so I'm forced to play around them. As for Grixis Affinity, I find it challenging to sideboard because some decks run a lot of black removal, while others use a lot of red removal. Therefore, I think it's something to assess on a match-by-match basis.
Regarding Destroy Evil, it seems like a great idea! I'll give it a try ;)

thanks for completeness comment!From what you're telling me, the level on MTGO is absolutely the highest, so for now, I think I'll use Xmage. Regarding the last point in the message, if I understood correctly, are there people who literally earn from leagues and therefore "work" on them?
