My first Modern deck, an Elemental tribal inspired in various parts by several decks I've seen. I'm looking for any advice.

Other than the obvious aggro, the plan is to use Smokebraider and Brighthearth Banneret to ramp up. Door of Destinies can be repeatedly pumped by casting, bouncing, casting, etc. Grinning Ignus, especially with one or two Brighthearth Bannerets on the field. This strategy is also exceptionally potent with Primeval Bounty and with Purphoros, God of the Forge. Gilder Bairn also rapidly accelerates Door of Destinies counters into the stratosphere. Elemental Mastery is exceptionally powerful with Door of Destinies. A turn three Nova Chaser followed by Elemental Mastery can end the game alone. Add the many times each tap will trigger Purphoros, God of the Forge, and it will disintegrate virtually any opponent. Cavern of Souls keeps the creature casting reliable.

The sideboard is where I'm less certain. I put in Stigma Lasher to counter any ridiculous lifegain strategies. Bow of Nylea is there to make it easy to take out other creatures. Living Inferno is another removal source. Ashling the Pilgrim is a card I would like to use, but I don't know what to take out to make it fit. I'm not nearly experienced enough with Modern or Legacy to make an appropriate sideboard; I just know what I would use in Standard.

Any advice?
