Got a T2 mono-red sligh/burn deck that I am going to give to a friend
of mine for local small-time T2 tournament play. Yes, I know red is
weak, but this is what he wants, and its cheap. He constantly matches
up against a guy that absolutely loves to play Absolute Law, CoP Red,
and several creatures like Disciple of Law, Voice of Law. I mean he
even has a few of these things maindeck, because he hates red. What's
the best way to sideboard around it? Red has no enchantment removal.

Use a reset-button card? Splash white for Disenchant and surprise the
heck out of him? Thran Lens so everything is colorless? If I did the
last one my critters could get through the CoP... but since all of
them are small that's not much help when he has blockers on the board.
All my useful spells -- landslide down to 3 mountains then acidic
soil... last-ditch effort to throw a half-dozen goblins at him... all
taken out by the CoP. Can't even get rid of the protection from red
blockers because though they are now colorless the burn spells won't
touch them. The burn + the critters are absolutely necessary.

Maybe abolish so much land he can't use the CoP's ability to protect
himself? Put in some artifact sources of damage? I got the Masticores
and Powder Kegs but I hate to use them... too easy. Plus I'm not gonna
hand over $100+ worth of cards. This is why I need a good way to deal
with the problem without devoting 2/3 of my sideboard to it. Any
ideas?

You said red is weak in T2, but Wildfire decks are among the best decks in
T2 now.
