    4-Alpha Authority
    4-Curiosity
    4-Etheral Armor
    4-Rancor
    4-Spectral Flight

    Lands

    4-Evolving Wilds
    4-Forest
    4-Island
    4-Plains
    4-Selesnya Guildgate

    I'm still on a quest to find a good deck to use for FNM, this time I thought I'd try this thing. First oder of business is to get some Stalkers as soon as possible, but how does it look right now without them?
    Second thing is, I dont know my local meta. So I dont know what cards to include in the sideboard. Any general cards that could be usefull?

    Spectral Flight is infinitely better than Alpha Authority.

    This deck does just look miserable without Geist, tbh.

    Your sideboard outside of Feeling of Dread and Nearheath Pilgrim seems far too reactive (Rootborn Defences does make sense though). You're playing Auras, so you're trying to go all-in and win quick, it's wasting turns to be using things like Ground Seal and Fog.

    Using a simple modern anecdote, earlier today I was playing against a Junk aggro deck and he wasted his first two turns playing Relic of Progenitus and Stony Silence (for the insane combo of redundancy). Because of this, I got to just assemble Tron and drop a Wurmcoil for beats. Now, think about it of you vs Reanimator in this case. Normally, Auras has a very good Reanimator matchup since it gets in and kills them before anything big comes down. In playing Ground Seal on turn 2 or 3, you're forgoing the chance to further progress the boardstate in your favour and your opponent will be thanking you for it. Now, I don't know exactly what you should be siding since I'm unfamiliar with the archetype, but that should at least be good food for thought.

    I do like Flight better then Alpha, but Stalker is my only guy with Hexproof to keep the removal off. Keeping 2 to put on my Tracer or Ace just seems helpful.

    Sideboard is still a work in progress. I have no idea what my local meta is, so I was just trying to find some basic stuff. I agree about Ground Seal but I think Fog would be safe to keep myself alive if I have any faster Aggro decks to play aginst.

    Feeling of Dread and Nearheath Pilgrim would be all you need for aggro. Don't dilute how you win post-board.
