Alright, I want help, need help, and welcome any input. Cards suggestion or any play tips are welcome!

MAINBOARD:

YES, I need more fetches, primarily Tarns. This is entirely due to budget, and I will be getting more as I go.

SIDEBOARD:

I would like as much input on the sideboard as possible. I desperately need it optimized.

Dispel & Counterflux are for blue/control match ups.

Crumble to Dust & Spreading Seas provide additional land hate. I really wanna keep Crumble because I have 2~3 tron decks at my shop.

Ratchet Bomb & Pyroclasm for aggressive creature based strategies and/or hexproof.

Vandalblast may get replaced by Shattering Blow because Wurmcoil Engine is the bane of my existence. or should I do a 1/2 split?

Cyclonic Rift is a favorite of mine; along with Dismember I have some additional removal.

Urabrask the Hidden was a left-field choice for twin, but with the banning...? I still want to keep him to nerf aggressive decks. In the games I've used him, he allows me to switch gears go in to beat-down mode really fast.

MAYBES

Silent Arbiter good for nerfing and blocking, whatcha think?

Sower is something I've considered as a switch out for shackles. They grab the artifact hate, I replace it with a creature. I really don't think a slot is worth it, but I love this card sooooooo much. Could I just run 2 shackles/ 1 Sower?
