Sideboards are optional. If a player chooses to have a sideboard it must contain exactly 15 cards.

@emrakool hit it right on the head. Just stick 11 Islands or something, it really doesn't matter. You simple need to have exactly 15 or 0.

100.4a In constructed play, sideboards are optional, but must contain exactly fifteen cards if used. The four-card limit (see rule 100.2a) applies to the combined deck and sideboard.

I might tag along here. What about if you come up against a mill deck and you throw some or all of your 15 card sideboard into your deck?

No. You have chosen to use a sideboard, so it must remain 15 cards at all times.

A sideboard must contain exactly 15 cards, but they don't all have to be relevant. The 11 Island plan to fill spots that weren't being used is perfectly legit.
If you choose to side out cards during a match, however, you must replace them with exactly the same number of cards from your sideboard. You may also not side in any cards without removing exactly the same number of cards from your deck. Your deck and sideboard must both be the same size before and after siding cards in or out.

I was just updated about a year ago now from my local Judge, that sideboards must be exactly 15 yes, but when reinforcing from a sideboard on game 2 of 3, you do not have to replace any cards sideboarded anylonger, unless the Judge is wrong, this is a new ruling for sideboarding now...

I believe the rule is exactly 15 or exactly 0
