Depends on what you expect to go up against...

  • I would say that 4x Abrade is a given. It can increase your removal count against decks where killing a Goblin Electromancer/Devoted Druid can make a difference between loosing or winning a game. And artifact destruction if as good as ever, its relevant against humans (due to Aether Vial), against the mirror, and give you something to attack Cranial Plating the best card in affinity against this kind of deck.

  • If you expect elves/merfolk Anger of the Gods is a gamechanger, and it also hates really effectively on dredge. (I would advocate agaisnt heavily sideboarding against living end, as the deck can easily steal game one and a second game just by randomly binning creatures into the grave with the loot effects, similarly to what Arcbound Ravagerdoes in affinity lists. If you face something like any flavor of griselbrand reanimator deck, you will need some dedicated grave hate :P)

  • Otherwise just diversify the sideboard with multi purpose hate cards - for example Dragon's Claw is great versus both burn/sleigh & storm, Damping Sphere is good vs storm, ad nauseam, tron & amulet titan - the more diverse your answers are the less likely a single Echoing Truth could lead to a game loss.

I run some strange choices in my side, that may be questionable. Hour of Devastation is a sweeper that burns everything even if humans get up their counter, or merfolk/elves are buffed to absurd proportions - and its surprisingly great when UW control boards into being gideon tribal. Harvest Pyre is a great card, but Rest in Peace and the like hoses it - so that is something to consider - Roast on the other hand, nearly covers all the same bases, its downsides being that it can't target flyers like Vendilion Clique, Stormbreath Dragon... etc. and no matter what it can never blow up Inferno Titan/Primeval Titan, and its slow against Reality Smasher as it can swing at least once. (And Lightning Axe is always an option)

If you expect a lot of humans i would strongly advocate playing Torpor Orb which is a bane of that deck (or any eqivalent effect you can find).

Chandra, Torch of Defiance just got a lot worse due to the "rework" of damage targeting rules, its damage can't be redirected to other planeswalkers anymore. Thus Vessel of Volatility got a bit more appealing, since it can't be attacked by creatures & it can power out Demigod of Revenge a turn (and a land) earlier. (Chandra has a few upsides, even though she lack that raw power, she can act as removal, a pseudo Dark Confidant, more like a better Sin Prodder - and sometimes, the effort people take to remove her lead to you winning the damage race by a few points, and her ultimate is a way to win against martyr proc decks, and in prison decks in general.

In red you also have access to some more narrow and devastating effect to hate on specific deck - if yu have such problems in the local meta, like Aura Barbs against boggles, Shatterstorm/Granulate/Shattering Spree/By Force agaisnt effinity, various eggs variants (currenlty KCI-travler), Boil if you want to hate on decks with a lot of blue, red also offers Hazoret the Fervent to shit on midrange even more (if Blood Moon wasn't enough)....

If you want to splash, black has two main attractions: Rakdos Charm & Collective Brutality - which i think are much stronger (and have more uses) than Ancient Grudge. Blue offers Izzet Charm, and white offers the best hate crds against every archetype. Going mardu gives access to Lingering Souls - maybe even in the main, which solves many problems the deck has.

I would consider taking out Magmaquake for another land. Also, I don't really see the point of Granulate in here. Yeah, it gets some artifacts in the graveyard, but it can really screw you up if you don't have Scrap Mastery or something to follow it up w/ or Daretti's emblem already deployed. I just think it could be replaced w/ something more useful. If you're looking for something to get rid of your opponents' artifacts, Vandalblast is the way to go in red. I dunno. Otherwise, yeah, pretty solid. Could use 1 or two more lands just to make things smoother on the off chance you don't draw into the turn 1 Sol Ring. And yeah, Venomora's got a point, where's the capitalization in the title?

Well if you wanna go affinity hate (or any hate)... then white is the best:
- Stony Silence (maybe we will get a reprint with innistrad)
- Kataki, War's Wage
And if you want to stay in , then mass artifact destructions are your second best option, as thanks to Welding Jar, the single target destroy artifact effect of red just don't cut it. Sadly they all have very high mana costs, and its entirely possible that affinity wins before you have the mana to resolve these spells. So things like:
- Shattering Spree
- Granulate
- Shatterstorm
Cheap board wipes also make quick work of most of its creatures so i suggest Anger of the Gods, but that can hit your Bloodghasts, so kill them beforehand XD. Sadly some pesky artifact creatures (luckily not that much played) make this strategy suck... Hangarback Walker (especially if Arcbound Ravager is on board)

Green has effect similar to red's removal... i am lazy to list any of them.

Blue has Hurkyl's Recall.

Welcome back! When dealing with artifact decks, Dismantle could be insanely good, as most run creatures that use a ton of counters. Divine Offering could also be very good, especially with and high-cost artifacts the opponent controls. For an easy board wipe, you could also play Granulate. Hope you can beat your friend, and good luck with your deck. :)
