Nice, that's what I'm running too except I'm debating on cutting that 2nd GS for a 2nd Repeal.
Thoughts on Leyline in the SB? I feel like Paradoxical is just so much better for the matches where Leyline is good. I guess, except for oddball matches like Mill. Also, how did you feel about no Wear/Tear or Shattering Spree?
I hate out come and love leyline so not sure i would ever exchange them. I actually have an abrade in my SB over the 3rd echoing truth that helps a lot

I like 4 Leyline a lot but feel 2 just isn't enough. 3 could work (some old Amulet lists ran 3, and I think Bogles does the same). Abrade rocks too, solving both artifact issues and stuff like Mage.
Normally 1 shot or the noxious gets boarded out depending on the match up
How many cards are in your typical post-board swap, 4-5? Can you give a few examples of your choices, like the matchups you faced today plus Jund and Jeskai Control? Thanks!
As a general sideboard rule, I board in a singleton Echoing Truth in at least 90% of matches. There's almost always something worth bouncing, especially against random Tier 2 decks with oddball sideboard/maindeck bullets. I also board in all the Grids in any matchup where my opponent's gameplan can be described as "answer all threats."

I initially dismissed this card because it was too expensive. But in theory, it's a totally different attack angle that most decks can't beat. It can't get spot removed and is immune to IoK and Decay. Like Grid, it's an out to Stony Silence. It's also on-color unlike Grid.
Unfortunately, it has some notable issues. For one, I'm not really sure what we board this in against. It seems good against heavy spot removal decks but GDS can race it, Ux can totally wreck it with Cryptic tap mode, and Mardu can probably block everything to survive. It does seem good against traditional BOx but that's fairly niche. It has similar problems against aggro: Company, Affinity, Humans, and Elves can all conceivably block the lethal swing. Between the matchup issues and the fact that it's not always lethal, I have doubts about its viability.
That similar kind of Ensoul artifact effect on the new Karn, Scion of Urza is playable within a combo turn, though. It also has the similar card advantage additional ability.

Humans + 2 aether grid + 2 path +1 abrade + 1 echoing truth - 2 visions - 1 noxious - 2 sigil - 1 bird
Mardu + 3 leyline + 2 grid - 1 bird - 2 visions - 1 bone saw - 1 sigil
Through the breach -1 grape shot - 1 bird -2 visions -1 sigial +3 leyline +2 echoing truth
Burn -1 noxious -1 bird -2 sigil - 2 vision + 2 forge tender + 3 leyline + +1 path
Blue moon - 1 bird - 1 grape shot -1 sigil -1 bone saw - 1 visions + 2 echoing truth + 2 path + 1 pact + 1 aether grid
Jund/junk - 1 bird - 1 grape shot - 2 sigil - 1 bone saw - 2 visions + 3 leyline + 2 silence +2 aether grid
Jeski - 1 bird - 2 sigil - 1 grape shot - 1 bone saw + 2 silence + 1 pact + 2 aether grid
Or pretty close to this at least
Do you find yourself side-boarding differently on the draw after a win much with this deck?
