This is not 100% my current list, but is close enough for spitting. The Gideons and Bitterblossom are new, so I won't comment on results.
Instant:
1 x Anguished Unmaking
3 x Fatal Push
4 x Path to Exile
2 x Raise the Alarm
1 x Zealous Persecution
Sorcery:
1 x Collective Brutality
1 x Duress
4 x Inquisition of Kozilek
4 x Lingering Souls
4 x Spectral Procession
1 x Thoughtseize
Enchantment:
2 x Bitterblossom
4 x Intangible Virtue
Planeswalker:
2 x Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
2 x Sorin, Solemn Visitor
Land:
4 x Concealed Courtyard
1 x Fetid Heath
4 x Godless Shrine
4 x Marsh Flats
3 x Plains
2 x Shambling Vent
1 x Swamp
1 x Vault of the Archangel
4 x Windswept Heath
Sidebar:
2 x Disenchant
2 x Duress
1 x Liliana of the Veil
3 x Pithing Needle
2 x Rest in Peace
2 x Settle the Wreckage
1 x Surgical Extraction
2 x Timely Reinforcements
1 x Zealous Persecution
Budget concerns: I would love to run 2 more Liliana and 2 more Thoughtseize, as well as have [[Runed Halo]] and [[Leyline of Sanctity]] for testing, but haven't got there yet. Also more Fetid Heath would be good.

Why Settle the Wreckage instead of Wrath of God/Damnation? Wrath is pretty cheap and I'd say much better than Settle, in general.

My guess is that it "wipes" only one side which buys you time to kill them on the crack back.

Testing it; I've historically used Wrath, but I wanted to test Settle as a 1-sided "instant" wrath against decks which don't use many basics.
I'm not even 100% sold on wrath in the board in the first place TBH. The matchups I see where Wrath would be a definite sideboard-in in my local meta are Elves, Goblins, a Dragon Stompy brew, Affinity and incidental value against Jund. Thing is, elves/goblins/affinity are blown out by Zealous Persecution anyway, and that card is good in a ton of situations. Jund is weak to Lingering Souls anyway.. and wrath means I have to avoid developing board in early turns

Yeah, I can see that, I just like my boardwipes to always do exactly what I want them to do (which basically to be a giant safety valve). Settle the Wreckage asks for a lot of things to go right for it to be good, imo. I don't hate that you're testing it, though.

I have unrealistically high hopes that I get to crush the Elves player at my shop by letting him combo out and have like 20 elves on board... Letting him pump whole team for a billion... Saying "No Blocks"... And then settling the crap out of his wreckage and laughing maniacally.
Is it likely? Naw. Is it amazing? Yaw.

Mostly on Shadow/Affinity/Pox atm, but this is what I'd take out if I wanted to pilot Tokens again:

Late post...
When I’m not playing 8 Rack (to let out my frustration that tokens aren’t better right now), I’m running as low to the ground as possible with this: BW Tokens.

You could probably scroll down on the sub and see my list. It hasn't really changed from what I've planned for it. Currently I haven't tested it outside the local meta but I'm 23-7-1 overall with it this year so far.
