Any suggestions on cuts for Liliana number 3 and Olivia in the main?

1) I haven't tried pack rat yet but have considered it. If you do run rat, do you just jam 4, or would you go with less? I understand about figure, though he has proven to be very strong for me. Maybe that's just the local meta / pet decks I'm used to playing against.

3) Same question, I thought about trying Liliana. I'm thinking 2-3 would probably be good, but will obviously have to make some room.

5) You're probably right about cliffs, I just don't own any yet. I'll look into picking some up.

6) For sideboarding, Ive tried rakdos charm but it felt too slow against tron and too little impact against affinity and dedicated graveyard decks. Stony Silence seems to really work as a hoser against the R/G tron and affinity I've come up against recently. You may be right about RiP being too narrow, I'll have to try some different things.

Mardu Tokens

Hello all, I originally posted this in the BBBSG thread but am also trying it here to see what people think. My version of Mardu is not token based, but I feel like the colors are very strong in the current modern meta. Anyways, here is my post from the previous thread;
Hey all, I'm really liking the new ways this deck has evolved since I first started reading this thread. I originally made my own variant of this deck as a way to fight my local meta, but since then its evolved to the point where I'm hoping it may be competitive at a PPTQ or higher level. I thought I'd post it here and see what you all think.

[deck]4x Figure of Destiny
2x Grim Lavamancer
3x Dark Confidant

The shift from pure boros to a mardu shell was from a desire to run Crackling Doom, and so far its been incredible. The card completely hoses boggles and infect, and causes other decks a lot of problems as well. Kolaghan's Command also continues the shift from a pure agro deck into a more value oriented / semi mid-range version. The land base is still a work in progress, I would like to try a couple filter lands, but don't own any yet.
