Blistercoil Weird Storm

Hi, first time using this site; hoping for a bit of help with my sideboard, mostly!

It's a typical Blistercoil Weird Storm deck for modern; the deck mechanic is to equip a Blistercoil Weird + Paradise Mantle and cast a large number of 0CC and 1CC spells, building up mana and storming with Grapeshot, with the obvious secondary condition of punching. Elixir of Immortality is for a busted combo. Thought Scour can combo out, but I dislike the mechanic so I'm avoiding it. Most builds of this deck run multiple copies maindeck.

The deck is sort of a "budget+" deck; I will have Steam Vents for one of my T2 decks soon and those will come in, but Scalding Tarn is not going to happen - this is my "alt" modern deck.

This is just for playing at FNM's, really, and we have a lot of budget/budget+ in the metagame. As such, the control choices are a bit non-typical . . . and I really have no idea about what to do with the sideboard. Mostly asking for help on the SB; right now it's just an option into either a bit more stability or a bit more speed. Mostly wary of Duress et al.

I think I need a bit more protection against a Chalice of the Void or Pithing Needle in the SB, in particular - what would be the best to run, here? Right now I have the Steel Sabotage there just as a placeholder until I can think of something better.

Postmortem Lunge is nice in that it's free mana with 0CC (X = 0) (occasionally Manamorphose gets tricky to build up the mana to cast), but I'm not sure it should be maindeck (or even SB); I'm just not sure what deck(s) that's useful against.
