3 Bonfire of the Damned

6 Forest
1 Mountain

@JediDuelist,

I would suggest switching the lone Garruk Relentless for the last Bonfire of the Damned in the main, whereas the former can be pushed into the sideboard replacing Planar Cleansing.

As for the rest of the sideboard, I thought that it might be perhaps better to fit a copy or two of Zealous Conscripts and Thragtusk instead of Grafdigger's Cage. Then perhaps you might want to change your Arc Trail into Combust to deal with opposing Restoration Angel and the sort, since Bonfire of the Damned does almost the same stuff as Arc Trail.

My only concern is that the number of utility lands does seem excessive (2 Gavony Township, 1 Kessig Wolf Run, 1 Slayer's Stronghold) and they are running on different colours. While I suppose you don't run into mana problems having mana dorks and Cavern of Souls when casting your spells, but it does appear a bit of a stretch to me when activating those utility lands. I would probably just keep the Kessig Wolf Run and Gavony Township if I were you.

three thalia seems overkill to me, i would take one out and add in another larger monster like maybe a second Thragtusk, or possibly add in a sun titan

[Psyren]

heres my version that i had Tinker with:

4 Avacyn's Pilgrim
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
3 Strangleroot Geist
3 Elvish Visionary
4 Blade Splicer
2 Borderland Ranger
2 Mwonvuli Beast Tracker
4 Restoration Angel
2 Huntmaster of the Fells
1 Thragtusk
1 Wolfir Silverheart
1 Wurmcoil Engine
1 Primeval Titan

4 Bonfire of the Damned

4 Cavern of Souls
4 Copperline Gorge
4 Razorverge Thicket
1 Gavony Township
1 Kessig Wolf Run
4 forest
2 mountain
2 plains

sideboard

4 Crushing Vines
2 Birthing Pod
1 Acidic Slime
1 Silklash Spider
1 Sigarda, Host of Herons
2 Grafdigger's Cage
3 Celestial Purge
1 Zealous Conscripts

this is a version that is as aggressive as can be, the udea is to drop threat after threat and out race your opponent with the bonfire to clear the field. easily beats most delver built die to sheer Ferocity and can take on almost all control decks.

the other version i would consider is one my friend runs. it has a gideon and 2 pod. he was abusing gideon with resto angel all weekend in scg vegas

to be honest i m not sure if i like garruk for the format overall. before avacyn restored comes out, i wouldnt have mind. but with restoration angels in addition to swords and Delver of Secrets, it feels like you are paying 4 mana for a 2/2 token in this format or 4 mana to shoot a block for a turn and die or even if garruk survived, you are still gonna see garruk shot, smashed or counter.
