Yeah replace {purify the grave} with {pillar of flame}. I used to play this deck and took first 4 Times in a row, playing against blitz and undying can be rough but pillar gets it done against both of those

Main deck looks like a solid Naya mid-range deck.  I don't have any advice for that outside of play-style differences...not sure anything I suggest would necessarily be better.  I do have a sideboard suggestion though.  I'm not sure you'll need {Purify the Grave} AND {Rest in Peace}.  I think one or the other works pretty well since I assume they're primarily for Junk Reanimator and possibly U/W/R Flash (to hose {Snapcaster Mage} targets).  In your colors, I think you should run 2 {Assemble the Legion}.  I play a pretty stout Esper Control build and that is one of the scariest cards in the world for me right now.  I've gone so far as to consider sideboarding in stratight up enchantment hate for that card alone (right now I have to hope I can get lucky and pluck it from someone's hand via my sideboard {Duress} or {Appetite for Brains}).  I guess that would probably be my only recommendation.  Guarantee you'll see your matches vs. control go better post-board.

I agree, but in my fnm meta, junk rites is running rampant and is the only deck that beats me, so im super hating on it

Really? I feel like my meta gave up on rites decks once they all realized {rest in peace} is a card

well what happens is that some metas are experienced and realize that certain things exist while others play decks until a certain card hoses them in a match
