Given the number of 1/2 drop instants, maybe Isochron Scepter is a good choice? Recurring burn every turn, particularly a Lightning Helix , is hard to beat.

Also, land-wise, Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion and Slayers' Stronghold may be worth considering. Sacred Foundry seems helpful here as well.

Finally, Mirran Crusader is a good sideboard option; particularly against Jund decks.

@TrevHulkC Thanks for the advice. I will playtest with the lands, but I already have Lightning Helix , and I originally had Isochron Scepter but it seemed to just slow me down a turn.

Rage Nimbus could be helpful here.
Forcing your opponent tot attack may end up being very helpful.

Dang About Face would be great in sideboard if it was legal in modern, but Assault Strobe could be great. One of their dudes blocks. Assault Strobe + Righteousness + Righteousness . 28 damage to their face for 3 mana!

Bacony42, Assault Strobe is sorcery speed, so the opponent would see it coming...

I'm wondering if Rift Bolt might be useful here...
