What do you think is the best sideboard car in each colors and what what decks should sideboards be focusing on.

Sideboard cards completely depend on the goal of the deck; colors just dictate what tools you have access to for giving your deck an advantage against other decks in your meta.

Unless your in green... then run Veil of Summer always....

Icbrgr except that Veil is banned in standard.

julian666 when crafting a sideboard, first look at the top decks in the meta and point out their weaknesses. Once you've done that, find cards in the colors you are playing that help exploit that weakness.

For example: My opponent is playing tokens and I'm playing a control deck with black in it. I lost the first game, so I sideboard Cry of the Carnarium or Legion's End in order to compensate.

Good catch Ice_Water!

And to elaborate a bit further on what I previously said regarding the goal of your deck.... if you are seeing a lot of Token decks in your meta and also happen to be running a black weenie aggro deck then while Cry of the Carnarium is a great answer to token strategies it also hurts your own decks goal/gameplan so Legion's End in this scenario seems a bit more appealing.

Both cards are good answers if your in black but not every black deck will want the same sideboard cards.
