Need help with Side Board
Modern Deck Help forum

I recently got into modern playing an 8 whack goblins deck. Before starting modern I never used a sideboard and don't really know of cards which may be used normally in such a deck or if any of y'all have suggestions for additions. If you can offer some suggestions that would be great. Here is the deck

Blood Moon, Smash to Smithereens, Shattering Spree among others. =)

First, welcome to Modern!
I'm normally on Ponza or Infect, so please take my inputs with healthy skepticism. But here are some thoughts from the other side of the table:
- Artifact hate (for Affinity and opp sideboard cards like Trinisphere): Shattering Spree or Smash to Smithereens
- Grave hate: Tormod's Crypt, Relic of Progenitus, or Grafdigger's Cage
- Lifegain hate (for opp sideboard cards): Leyline of Punishment or Skullcrack (as already mentioned).
- Mana hate: Blood Moon (since it hurts LOTS of decks, but not yours) or Stone Rain/Molten Rain
- Random stuff: Pyrite Spellbomb (for opp sideboard cards like Kor Firewalker and Burrenton Forge-Tender), Magma Spray (when you need to exile opp Creatures), Ratchet Bomb (general removal), Forked Bolt (mostly for opp mana dorks), Sudden Shock (for Infect and some combo decks), Kari Zev's Expertise (maybe too cute, but certainly powerful), Dragon's Claw (as already mentioned)
You might want to check with GoblinsMTG on Reddit too.
Draw well!

Dragon's Claw and Skullcrack both seem like good choices.
