Kaalia with haste

Played this to a 4-0 finish at FNM this week, with some minor alterations.

2x {hero of bladehold}
2 creatures

4x {raise the alarm}
4x {gather the townsfolk}
4x {spectral procession}
4x {lingering souls}
16 token generators

4x {honor of the pure}
4x {intangible virtue}
2x {sorin, solemn visitor}
10 anthems

4x {inquisition of kozilek}
4x {path to exile}
1x {dismember}
9 answers

4x {godless shrine}
4x {isolated chapel}
1x {caves of koilos}
2x {tectonic edge}
1x {swamp}
11x {plains}
23 lands

Sideboard:
1x {blood baron of vizkopa}
2x {sundering growth}
3x {stony silence}
2x {rule of law}
3x {kor firewalker}
2x {ghostly prison}
1x {pithing needle}
1x {slaughter pact}


Matchups:

Good: GBx, Delver, infect (surprisingly),zoo

Bad: burn, affinity, tron, splinter twin

Any constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks!

Cards I'm considering: {bitter blossom}, {Brimaz, king of Oreos}, {Snapcaster Mage} (I'd splash blue for this guy but I'm on the fence),{vault of the archangel}, {aven mindcensor} for the SB.

LinkCelestrial

{Vault of the Archangel} for sure. Brimaz is worth testing, and I'd like to suggest {Spear of Heliod}.

Mr_Fahrenheit

{Timely reinforcements} works really well in this type of deck

I was definitely considering vault, but it was either that or tec edge, seeing as I want to hit my turn 3 spectral procession every time I need to. I picked tec edge solely as a meta call. I'm also already running 10 anthems, including sorin, and I'm considering cutting some for more token generation because sometimes I'll just get stranded looking for an actual token generator, which, if found would make 4/4s with vigilance,  but I'd keep top decking more anthems, and some lands. I'll probably try Brimaz when I can get my hands on a few.

I do want to try timely reinforcements, but probably as a sideboard for burn. The reason being that I often have more creatures than my opponent, and it becomes difficult to make it not be '2W gain 6 life' but if it's in my opener I can just not do anything for the first three turns and then 2 for one the burn player, while leaving back tokens to trade with a goblin guide and hopefully turn it into a 3 for one.

Gotcha. I feel like {Devout Invocation} or {Entreat the Angels} could work but are too expensive. Otherwise there's {Secure the Wastes}.

I've been looking at secure the wastes, I can see entreat being really good and really bad, but mostly really bad, so I'm probably going to omit it. I'll try to pick up secure the wastes at FNM this week as well.

I would suggest more hand attack like {Thoughtseize} and {Tidehillow Sculler}. I remember this being described as the fairest deck in modern, which is reflected in your matchups, and they're your best shot at attacking the unfair decks. BB seems good.
The main problem there is my lack of owning thoughtseizes. I'll probably pick them up with my channel fireball order from my buy list credit.

This is the token list I run at moment. Hope it gives some ideas to you.

Kaalia with haste

How's {windbrisk heights} working out for you? I've found it to be underwhelming.

Mr_Fahrenheit

I agree. I cut mine from the event deck for godless shrines and marsh flats
