What to cut?

This is my "pet" deck. It's been performing pretty well but I'd like to work 4x Brute Force into it. I'm not sure what to cut for the playset?
Thoughts?

Good point about the Scry. I'm not sure about SBing path, maybe though.

Give it a couple playtests. It's rare that I ever need it. When your goal is to win super fast (turns 3-5), it's rare that anything strong enough to survive a bolt will ever come down. And if it does, it might not matter if you can protection past it with Emerge. If it does become an issue, then you can sub it in.

For example, come up against a creatureless deck, and Path is useless, but bolt and titan's aren't.

My mistake, thought I saw it in your list. I've been thinking that's what I should cut. I could cut it and still SB Path to Exile

I wouldn't cut it. Bolt and Helix together give you 8 really solid Prowess triggers that serve as both burn and removal.

Maybe sideboard Path to Exile for certain match ups against things bolt and helix can't handle, like Siege Rhinos, etc. My Boros heroic aggro deck (Win Hard: Or Die Trying (Akroan Style)) kicks piles of ass without Path. You may want to consider Titan's Strength over Brute Force too. The extra toughness is useful sometimes, but I'd almost always rather have the scry for consistency.
