Hello everyone,
I'm new to vintage (only played in one tournament and did pretty poorly).  I was hoping for some tips on a sideboard for my metagame.  I play ICBM oath, and currently, my SB looks like this:

2x SSS
3x Stifle
1x Darkblast
2x Pithing Needle
1x Rushing River
3x Tormod's Crypt
3x Arcane Laboratory

The tournament I played in wasn't to big (only about 20 players), but what I encountered was this:
A few Dragon decks, a few stacks, quite a few combos (Doomsday and Grimlong), and a lot of CS (made up half of the top 8).  For sure, I didn't see all that my area has to offer, but I would like to get some advice on what would be good in the sideboard against what I am seeing.  I believe that ICBM Oath is supposed to have a good match up against CS, but I blame the poor performance on my novice play skills in Type 1. 

Any advice would be great,
Thanks in advance.

How are you sideboarding those cards? If you're taking the wrong stuff out, then it doesn't really matter what's in your board.

Well, I'm sure I probably made many wrong decisions (also, this current board wasn't the one I used, as I went in having no idea what to expect), due to my inexperience, but I found myself boarding in Stifle quite often.  However, I wasn't sure what to take out to make room.  I let Mana Drain take the fall most of the time, but I don't think that was the right decision.  I also found myself never drawing Null Rod when I needed it most.  Maybe another in the board is in order?
