Okay here we go again. This is my most updated deck. Went ahead and started working on sideboard.
Id go -1 magma jet for +1 spark trooper MB
Id definitely drop at least 1 {blind obedience} SB, it just doesnt seem to do much except maybe give your opponent a free inspired trigger sometimes... Haste isnt a huuuuge thing in standard, idt it deserves 3 spots
Id drop an anger from SB too since it kinda ruins your creatures
Add maybe 2-3 pithing needle SB? If you add 2 then you have an extra slot for who knows what, perhaps another skullcrack?

I think Blind Obedience is just fine, really. In a deck like this, it's not about stopping hasty guys, it's about tapping new blockers and late-game reach. When your own guys have haste or are small enough to be killed by efficient blockers, having the new creatures enter tapped can make a huge difference. The extort triggers are nothing to laugh at, either. It makes every spell you cast late-game have a little extra value, especially at the point in the game that this sort of deck tends to run out of steam.
True, ok perhaps keep those then
That's the main reason I have so many in the board. It halts mirror matches and G/R monsters well enough, and in playtesting the extort has easily proved it's value. I'll probably drop that 1 magma jet, though. The spark troopers are really proving their value, and the jets are best early game so I can filter my draw and ping an opponent or something puny for 2. And should I get pithing needle in there? I may mess around with the {Anger of the Gods} like you said, maybe substitute it with {Mizzium Mortars}.
Also, how about {Mindsparker} for SB? I'm probably going to end redoing all of sideboard lol
