The point of a sideboard is to defend against hate and wreck other decks.
I guess a sideboard could be viewed as a way to defend against hate and wreck other decks, but I prefer to think of a sideboard as an extension of your deck and should be designed with cards that would give you the best answers, my sideboard are cards I would play main deck against decks if I had prior knowledge I would face that deck, my sideboard has what is called "generic" answers to most decks, the reason is the same way I hinder aggro by using Silence  on thier upkeep to "pusedo timewalk" thier turn to victory, is the same way I hinder the person who sided in Surgical Extraction  , Extirpate  , Pact of Negation  or Mindbreak Trap  by using the exact same spell Silence but this time on my upkeep on the turn I can go off.
Surgical extraction doesn't bother us. My nightmare is a rock player going:
T2: Sakura-tribe elder 
T3: cranial extraction 
But, does anyone play rock?
Also for Angel's grace, between silence and graveyard hate, the only deck on this list it's hard to hate against is affinity. I'm not sure, but I think were the faster deck.
I don't think The Rock is even a "deck" and why would people play Cranial Extraction  or even Memoricide  when there are better options availble, plus those cards only hurt a small minority of decks so it is pointless from a deck construction stand point to include a card that is only for a small percentage of the meta game.
Also we could go T3:during their upkeep Sac Sphere for a white, draw a card Silence opponent, oh look no CE to hurt us

True, There's little reason to defend against it. Also, what about faeries? It seems like the nightmare match for us. Should/How we preper for it?

They have counters, so you can't just go off as fast as you can, all their threats have flash, so they always leave mana open, and they can put you on a clock with their creatures. It gives you so little chances to go off.

I don't understand the question. The idea Behind the deck is that every card helps you combo, to minimize the chance of fizzling. this includes 9 ways to get second sunrise (second sunrise,noxious revivel, drift of phantasms). The only cards you don't want to draw when comboing are lotus bloom and the lands. My choices are pretty obvious, exept compulsive research  . The thought is that it's good before the deck goes off, by digging deeper while discarding unnecesary cards, it okay when we combo (not amazing, but not that bad either, and it serves as another win condition (by making them draw.)
