You said you're trying to reduce the number of traps in the sideboard? I wouldn't. People who think sidedecks should be low on traps seem to be forgetting that the traps are better at countering the opponent's cards than any others. Personally, I feel that no deck should contain more than 6 traps unless it is trap based, but no side deck should contain less than ten.
