Sideboard still under management after EMN changes

This is a Mardu midrange/control deck I've been working on some time. In many ways it plays out like a grixis deck, but I picked Mardu over Grixis, because while losing access to Jace, Vryn's Prodigy   and Dragonlord Silumgar , it gives me access to Declaration in Stone, Anguished Unmaking and Nahiri, the Harbinger. Maybe most impactful is Shambling Vent, which has been an all-star in the deck.

EMN release update:

With the advent of EMN, the deck has undergone sweeping changes with a focus on streamlining and testing the new cards. Previously the deck could be slightly surely; while very effective at controlling the board, finding a win-condition could be a long process. New changes:

Win-conditions:

• The win-conditions now consist of two packages. The big one being Nahiri, the Harbinger + Brisela, Voice of Nightmares . Nahiri being able to fetch both parts, or just Bruna, the Fading Light if Gisela is in the yard.

• The less flashy win-condition is Hanweir Garrison, with the occassional Hanweir, the Writhing Township meld. I am not happy playing Battlements in an already fragile manabase, and it's possible the Garrison is a strong enough card on it's own. But for now I would like to test the mix of consistent early pressure, with the possibility of a late game bomb.

Replacements:

• Incendiary Flow has been added and replaces Fiery Impulse, and then upped to 4, first of all for the consistent 3 damage turn 2 and 3, and its ability to go to the dome to support the pressure from Hannweir Garrison.

Current goals:

• I am trying to see if I can fit 1-2 Pia and Kiran Nalaar in the main deck.

• Would like to up the Kolaghan's Command count to 3.

Considerations:

1. I fear that might be a clash between the Hanweir and Brisela packages. If this proves true, the Hannaford package will be replaces with Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Pia and Kiran Nalaar. This will slow the deck down, but making it more effective at the long game. It will also improve the mana slightly for the deck.

2. I am pondering moving it to Jeskai for the access to Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  , Spellqueller and other counters to protect the Nahiri + Brisela package.

3. Cutting the black as the third colour, adding adding Pia and Kiran as well as Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, moving the deck towards a token strategy, with powerful finishers like Hanweir, the Writhing Township and Ormendahl, Profane Prince   .

Thanks for your attention. Any criticism and suggestions are welcome.
