Modern Misery: Mono White Hatebears

In my quest for find a Modern deck I have come across this deck. I really like Aether Vial, and I love hatebears.
I'm on a kick right now where I really like attacking, if you haven't noticed.
I like really how this deck looks, and I have all of the basic cards for it.
I need to get a few more cards, but so far here is my list: Lands: 24 18x Plains 2x Tectonic Edge 4x Ghost Quarter Creatures: 24 4x Dryad Militant 4x Phyrexian Revoker 4x Leonin Arbiter 4x Flickerwisp 3x Thalia, Gaurdian of Thraben 3x Kitchen Finks 1x Restoration Angel 1x Aven Mindcensor Instants and Sorceries: 6 4x Path to Exile 2x Dismember Other Spells: 6 4x Aether Vial 1x Sword of Light and Shadow 1x Sword of Body and Mind Sideboard: 15 1x Dismember 1x Devout Lightcaster 2x Stony Silence 1x Surgical 3x Pithing Needle 1x Kor Firewalker 2x Journey to Nowhere 2x Celestial Purge 2x Leonin Relic-Warder I plan on working on this list. This was just cards that I had already, and I plan on making a few adjustments.

First, I want to add two more Aven Mindcensors, one Kitchen Finks, and two Serra Avengers.

Also, I need to add another Tectonic Edge for a Plains. I plan on taking out two Phyrexian Revoker and two Dismembers for the four creatures.

I have also seen lists with twenty-two lands in it.
If I find that I get flooded, I plan on taking out two Plains for two more creatures like Hero of Bladehold or some other spicy creature, probably a four drop. When it comes to the sideboard, I have no idea what to put in it. I'll have to see what my local meta-game is and adjust accordingly. I know I want some number of Burrenton Forge-Tenders, though. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
My future list may look like this: Lands: 22 15x Plains 3x Tectonic Edge 4x Ghost Quarter Creatures: 28 4x Dryad Militant 2x Phyrexian Revoker 4x Leonin Arbiter 3x Flickerwisp 3x Thalia, Gaurdian of Thraben 4x Kitchen Finks 1x Restoration Angel 3x Aven Mindcensor 2x Serra Avenger 2x Hero of Bladehold Instants and Sorceries: 4 4x Path to Exile Other Spells: 6 4x Aether Vial 1x Sword of Light and Shadow 1x Sword of Body and Mind Sideboard: 15 2x Dismember 1x Burrenton Forge-Tender 2x Stony Silence 1x Surgical 2x Pithing Needle 1x Oblivion Ring 2x Journey to Nowhere 2x Celestial Purge 2x Leonin Relic-Warder When it comes to actually playing the list, the game plan is to punish your opponent for playing fetch lands and using the sacrifice lands as Wastelands to get ahead of resources while Vialing guys. It feels really sweet to Vial in a Kitchen Finks and use it to chump block, keep the Vial at three and bring in a Flickerwisp to reset the Kitchen Finks, and then tick the Vial up to four and bring in Restoration Angel blinking the Finks again.
You can also use the Vial to dodge removal with Flickerwisp.
Not to mention that creatures brought into play by Vial cannot be countered.
That's really fun. Thank you, Philip
