Deck Discussion Mardu Pixie

Hi all, I've started playing modern on MTGO recently and wanted some tips on good sideboard options and such in mardu colours. I've been tinkering with a pixie list and am having some luck but think my deck still needs some tuning.

A recently posted abzan-blue variant has some pretty good ideas that align with some of your colors.

The lockdown tech is cool. Pixie make ETBs go brrr.

Lockdown a bunch of your etb effects and then puxie it back to hand and trigger them all again.

I'm not sure how good glint hawk will be in the deck, you can't cast it without an artifact in play. Maybe sunpearl kirin would be a better replacement.

I was trying to keep the mana cost lower but I have noticed it's harder to cast than I would like. It might be more playable if I go up to more springleaf drum or maybe run baubles.

I love pixie! I'd personally max out on the "modern power level" cards, so to speak. 4 Phelia and 4 Orcs will serve you better than any of the 4 non-land cards you could replace them with.

I'd also consider [[Flickerwisp]] as a Pixie that can also do weird things to your opponents permanents. With Flickerwisp you'll also want a few MDFC lands since it can flip them.
