Just a list of cards that ought to be considered for Sideboard play in a Naya Allies deck for Modern. Discussion also here on reddit.

"Buffing" refers to decks like Infect or Bogles which cast many noncreature spells on their creatures to win the game.

On Various:
Blessed Alliance is decent against Grixis Shadow as well as stuff like Bogles and Infect.
Deflecting Palm helps against big hits like Death's Shadow or Infect.
Dusk // Dawn can clear the board and allow us to get back on track, since almost all Allies have base power 2 or less (Lantern Scout being the only exception as a 1-of)
Kabira Evangel against any deck based on colored creatures.
Leyline of Sanctity against Burn (including Storm and Ad Nauseam), Discard, Edicts, etc.
Ondu Cleric against any deck we want breathing room for, like aggro decks or ones which aim to deal not much more than 20 damage, like Storm.
Path to Exile against decks with single threatening creatures, such as Death's Shadow, Tron, creature-based combos (Storm, Counters Company, etc).
Phyrexian Revoker against various combo decks.
Suppression Field against anything which frequently uses activations, including Tron, Affinity, Counters Company/ GW value, Jund, etc.
Worship can make sense against slower decks which don't interact heavily with / care about your board. Things like Scapeshift would have to divert triggers to your creatures to be able to get to you for example.
