When I was playing it, I ran 4x glare and 4x stroke. Glare in the board is helpful against UW heroic, as well.
The problem with only using stroke is you then have no answer after they are out - especially for something like elspeth (in theory you can get rid of rhino/roc with stoke or a combination of blocking and strike/jet/etc.

Honestly, Jeskai Tokens has soooo much play to it that I have never had an issue losing to the mid range decks. I sideboard to stay as aggro as I can while bringing in 4x Disdainful Stroke. Unless you see End Hostilities game 1, assume they are playing FLeecemane Lion and keep in the Lightning Strikes. If worse comes to worst, you can aim it at the face when they stabilize on board and you can have the burn plan as a viable back up. I do not board out soulfires either. They help the burn game become more legitimate. This is a tough matchup on paper, as many of their cards are simply stronger than ours, but because of the amount of play I can leverage out of the deck, I can usually find a way to squeeze out the win.

Right now I am running 4 Roasts and 4 Valorous Stances maindeck with 3 Disdainful Strokes, 3 Encase in Ice, and 2 Glare of Heresy in the sideboard. I can safely say that Abzan is not a problem.
