.... Canonist is also for the Combo Elves matchup which it matters a lot more in because it cannot be Jund Charmed Maelstrom Pulsed or Hallowed Burialed...

unmake is ridiculous against jund cascade, doran, any BG elves still around, etc.
cannonist is mainly for combo elves, but also for cascade decks

I wouldn't say unmake was anything other than average.
about the same as Harm's Way but it can't protect your guys from bolts.

harm's way is a nice compliment to path because it gives you an opportunity for card advantage or resource advantage

not much you can do about elves apart from canonist
or having access to black mana

if you're clueless about the sideboard then you should probably start playing post sideboard games on mws more, because everything there is very straight forward.
