Spoiler: List
Show
4x Raise the Alarm
4x Lingering Souls
4x Spectral Procession

4x Honor of the Pure
4x Intangible Virtue

4x Duress
4x Murderous Cut

4x Brave the Elements
4x Zealous Persecution

Sideboard:
4x Pithing Needle
4x Rest in Peace
4x Sundering Growth


I'd like to fill out the sideboard, but I'm not sure what I should be afraid of.
Have you considered running the Polymorph package? 4x Polymorph plus 2x fattie of choice (usually Emrakul, but can also be Inktread Leviathan or Blightsteel Colossus or Steel Hellkite or anything, really). Running Blue would also give you the options to play Mana Leak as additional disruption elements against decks like Ad Nauseum or Storm to boot.

Oh, and you're going to need more token generators. Running 12 creatures in a deck that wants to get there by attacking won't fly at all.

Sideboard I'd just fill with generic answers at the moment, then tailor it to your metagame once you start fielding it.
