[Standard] Bant Flash

Here is my list tailored to what I believe will be at my LGS's FNMs this format. Definitely added main and sideboard answers for Sire of Insanity. It is the biggest possible threat for flash decks and bound to see play at least 1/75 in most BRx decks. Aggro decks might even sideboard it for lategame support.

Creatures (12)
4 Snapcaster Mage
3 Wolfir Avenger
3 Restoration Angel
2 Augur of Bolas

Lands (25)
4 Temple Garden
4 Sunpetal Grove
4 Hallowed Fountain
4 Glacial Fortress
4 Breeding Pool
3 Hinterland Harbor
2 Gavony Township

Instants (21)
4 Advent of the Wurm
4 Azorius Charm
3 Selesnya Charm
3 Sphinx's Revelation
3 Syncopate
2 Render Silent
2 Dissipate / 2 Rewind

Sorceries (2)
2 Supreme Verdict

Sideboard
2 Rapid Hybridization
2 Detention Sphere
2 Garruk, Primal Hunter
2 Dispel
2 Clone
1 Selesnya Charm
2 Feeling of Dread
2 Rhox Faithmender

31 instant-speed cards here. 4 sorcery-speed. 25 Lands. Here are my reasons for my choices.

Flash creatures
3 Restoration Angel (blinks Snapcaster and Augur of Bolas)
4 Snapcaster Mage (21 instants, 2 sorceries)
3 Wolfir Avenger (great surprise blocker/attacker)

Card Advantage creatures
2 Augur of Bolas (Blocks most aggro critters, can net card advantage, greater than 1/3 of deck is i/s)

Instants
4 Advent of the Wurm (5/5 trample for 4 at instant speed!? yes please! )
4 Azorius Charm (lots o' lifelink, time walk, think once)
3 Selesnya Charm (Sire of Insanity is a thing, nuf said, but still useful in other situations too including early blockers)
3 Sphinx's Revelation (25 lands, card advantage, life gain, what's not to love)
3 Syncopate (great counter, exiles, can be used early)
2 Dissipate (great counter, exiles) / Rewind (we are a flash deck after all, having mana open is awesome for us )
2 Render Silent (I like this card. Counter one spell, then opp attacks or ends turn. Might change mind after testing)

Sorceries
2 Supreme Verdict (great against aggro, good against midrange, especially when midrange is mana dork based for mana)

Lands
25 lands for Sphinx's Revelation (which I might +1 of later)

Sideboard
2 Rapid Hybridization (for a variety of things and Sire of Insanity)
2 Detention Sphere (for a variety of things, but definitely high planeswalker count decks)
2 Garruk, Primal Hunter (for control)
2 Dispel (for control/mirror)
2 Clone (for midrange/reanimator/mirror, kills hexproof legendaries like Geist/Sigarda)
1 Selesnya Charm (for midrange/reanimator and SIRE OF INSANITY, okay done ranting, seriously though Sire = instant loss most of the time for we who play on opponent's turn)
2 Feeling of Dread (for midrange/aggro)
2 Heroe's Reunion (for aggro)

Things I thought about using
Think Twice
