Please help me build my sideboard. Right now the deck is weak against Burn decks. I have Witchbane Orb to protect myself from burn spells, but if my Venser or Stonehorn is removed I could be in trouble.

I like your deck a lot. So much so, in fact, that I made an identical copy to play test and see if it works. Good news! It works. I made some changes that increase its win percentage and thought you might appreciate them:I took out 2 Cackling Counterparts and replaced them with Conjurer's Closet. This allows you to make a formidable wall of Beast tokens by flickering your Thragtusks and will gain you 5 life at the end of each turn (double this if both are on the field). This leaves 1 Cackling Counterpart in the deck to make another copy of Thragtusk for the life gain and big body, or to make a copy of biovisionary if you had to play it earlier than planned. Since Thragtusk is getting flickered so much, your life gain will be through the roof and you probably won't care too much about incoming damage. Sometimes I just let the damage through and don't even worry one bit about it. Other times, I double or even triple block with Beasts to kill incoming fatties. No big deal if they die. I'm making 1 or 2 more each turn anyway while gaining 5 or 10 life. I dropped the Fogs and replaced them with Dispell to counter the opponent's counters. Because of this, I pulled out a Forest to put in one more Island.I really like your strategy of flashing in Biovisionary so I pulled out another Forest and run a third Alchemist's Refuge to make sure its available.
Drowned Rusalka is super inexpensive and takes care of the dilemma of "how am I going to get my Protean Hulk into the graveyard?". But I agree, having a couple more cards that help kill the Protean Hulk can not hurt. For that matter, having more Protean Hulks can't hurt.
