I'd consider playing Tinder Wall or the new one coming out in Theros.You could also consider wall of blossoms, overgrown battlements etc. since all you really need to do is stall.

Thoughtseize will be a good addition to this deck in a few weeks. Duress wouldn't be a bad plan for the main deck now, but sideboard is solid at least (good call). Selective hand destruction can disrupt a lot of control, which would be hard for this deck to take.Dark Prophecy is an option that will let you chump with your apostles a little bit more (but might end up costing too much life). The Blood Artist suggestion was a good call.I might keep a Grim Return in hand to maintain your board state when you haul out your demon (sideboard for decks with lots of kill, maybe).
I'd consider Green Sun's Zenith and Jhessian Infiltrator, then you can always find him if you need to and not need to keep as many unblockables around but have another set of utility creatures that are green. Obviously your preferred target is the stalker but this is another 2 drop which helps.
I was considering Index, same idea really, but getting to put them in your hand automatically would be nice.
Not a bad idea, if you've blown your hand and your beater gets taken out by something, he'd be a huge help
If you end up light on creatures, Chandra's Phoenix and the Ogre Battledriver are decent options
I'm currently toying with a very similar deck
2 Massive Raid might work, if you've got a young pyromancer on the field you'll probably have a few weenies out.
By turn 4, I probably won't need a lot more mana, but that depends on having a Geist out. Still a good point though.
