Ive seen a few lists run Academy Ruins + Engineered Explosives for constant board wipes. Not sure if its up your ally because no Life from the Loam but its an option.

• Edit: Removing my suggestion for cut because finished reading your description. Fair enough point.

My recommendations : Stoneforge Mystic with Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of Fire and Ice, True-Name Nemesis and Geist of Saint Traft as the two best finishers and Snapcaster Mage as the best blue card advantage/selection in modern.

Your curve has a hole at the 2 mana slot and can get slow, you can replace Hero's Downfall with one of the best removal in the format (Smother) and replace Dissolve with Mana Leak. Negate should be replaced with Counterspell. Toxic Deluge is the best wrath in the format and is better than Black Sun's Zenith. Council's Judgment is an answer to everything and most importantly opposing True-Name Nemesis and Geist of Saint Traft.

I would definitely play Academy Ruins over Nephalia Drownyard as your utility land, the Academy Ruins + Engineered Explosives lock is pretty hard to beat.
