The tournament im going to be using this for is a week away. in the meta, there is lots of bomberman decks, dragon (which i used to play), goblins, and random aggro.
the meta is Tier 1 or random thrown together decks, 90% of the decks play blue, so there is always disruption around. dont know if flash is played but i hope it isnt (because i hate it because everyone online plays it.).
So any suggestions for the deck, or what i can do for the sideboard?
and aura of silence is in because i dont have access to null rods, and they do their job of neutralizing bomberman.
this is a 10 proxy tourney and my proxys are: ancestral recall, black lotus, mox pearl and sapphire, 2 force of will and 4 meddling mage.

Saying that you sometimes wish people (in this case the implication is the staff) would fall down a well and get AIDS is hardly appropriate for the forum.
With all the creatures in your metagame you are going to need some creature hate. Waterfront Bouncer, Exalted Angel and Serra Avenger are all strong choices. Cut Aura of Silence for Chalice of the Void, Silence comes down so late that it can't do anything useful. Cut Counterspell for Daze, again Counterspell is too slow. You might consider Ninja of the Deep Hours, which has really nice synergy with Standstill.
As for your mana base, run some basic lands and fetchlands if you can afford them. Mishra's Factory is the only man land worth running, cut the others for Wasteland/Strip Mine. Good luck with the deck.
First, fix your mana base. Between proxying lotuses and moxen and proxying a tundra, I'd pick tundras, although if you have to proxy dual lands you may want to seriously reconsider playing another deck.
Aura of Silence costs too much, and with a significant portion of your lands coming into play tapped and no fetchlands to guarantee two white mana when you need it, I can't imagine casting it fast enough to deal with anything.
If your meta is bomberman, dragon and aggro, Kataki won't be very useful.
Yup, the manabase needs improvement. Tundras/Underground seas to replace Adarkars and Rivers. Replace the other non-basics with fetchlands unless you want to end up as lunch for Wasteland. And as per any contemporary Landstill/Fish build, the 5 strips (4 Wasteland and 1 Stripmine) are a must. The Conclaves aren't necessary, imo, as you already have critters to do the beating; the factories would suffice. You might also want to consider mainboarding a Pithing Needle or two. 1 or 2 CoW's would be good for the waste/strip softlock as well as recycling your factories. Relegate the Auras to the sb or replace with Seal of Cleansing. The Echoing Truths can also instead be sb fuel. If you've a Mox Jet, throw that in as well as Timewalk. Try to consider Daze or Misdirection for optimum control and up the Duresses to 4.
