If you're expecting lots of Dredge / CoCo, go with Anger. If you're expecting lots of Affinity, go with Kozilek's Return.
I don't like Fulminator in this deck, I think we're much better off just racing big mana rather than tapping out and trying to mess with their lands at sorcery speed. I run 2x Temur Battle Rage instead as that's more often than not a guaranteed kill. Fulminator doesn't really guarantee anything unless you have an Extraction on hand to go with it.
Spellbomb is a great way to deal with graveyard-based strategies. Extraction is more specific but has the upside of being free to cast and growing Shadow if you so desire.
I've liked Ceremonious Rejection so far, it does work against Affinity and Tron so if you expect a lot of those decks then I'd dedicate a slot or two to it.
I don't run Countersquall anymore, Denial is usually more than fine and easier to cast.
Painful Truths is great in grindy games. Abzan, control, the mirror, etc.
Would love to see a general sideboard guide for this deck in the primer, if someone knowledgeable could be bothered.
Been jamming it online to decent results but I'm finding it hard to figure out what needs to be cut in which matchups - especially when it comes to cards like Scour and Wraith.
I feel like intimate knowledge of white decks is crucial as RIP blows us out so hard but it's not always an auto-include in white decks.

You sure you need 4x Fatal Push in the mainboard?

Also - how do you guys sideboard for the mirror? Denials in or out? Discard?

I'm running 3 Fulminators but I really don't think I want them. I'd rather just race big mana so this frees up a few slots.
Speaking of racing - TBR has been huge so far, I can't imagine not running one in the main anymore.

What do you guys reckon, is this version here to stay? Are we close to settling on a 'final' configuration?
