Returning 8/8s to play via Lark is good.
Free board presence is much better than board presence you have to pay for.
If you have the mana to make him huge, sure, go for it. But this format is far too fast for that.

T1 Plains, figure
T2 Windbrisk, pump figure, swing
T3 Prairie, then just swing. If they try to burn it, then you pump, but if you try to pump first they'll just kill it in response (Magma Spray, etc.). If they're tapped out, though, or have no red mana up you can probably safely pump before swinging.
If you T3 Spectral with a 2/2 Figure out already, you're just going to cry when they drop a Fallout/Infest next turn...
I think this is quite right. But by turn 3, you will already know what is he playing. If it is definetly something without sweepers (and you won't eat a broken ambitions), you can play your procession to try windbrisk next turn. Otherwise just pump figure at EOT, I guess.

Interesting, so you guys always want to pump figure to 4/4 turn 3?

I wouldn't say always, but it's generally a good play.
It's a fairly reasonable power:mana investment still, and it keeps it a relevant threat. Additionally, it brings it out of a certain chunk of the available removal's range.
Luckily, we have stop-having-fun guys to remind us that having anything more than 60 cards in your deck is tantamount to being a rapist and anyone considering it should be strung up by their ****  .

So this is the current list i am running and planning on taking to regionals. I dont have much play testing in with bw tokens so i am needing some input on sideboard decisions and main deck decisions.
I like having the incinerates main deck because its extra damage as well as spot removal early game if need be.

I play R/W Kithkin, but I have had an interest in this deck. Does anyone think that Fight to the Death from ARB may be a good Sb option against opposing aggro decks? It can clear the field and help you sac your Lark and get more creatures into play

Even if sweepers like Wrath and Fallout were good in this deck (and they're not), 8 is massively overkill. I'd consider Glorious Anthem or Ajani Goldmane or Windborn Muse in the board over them.
I would run only one or two Wispmare; you can tutor and recur them fairly easily. I would run the full 4 Stillmoon Cavalier for tokens.
I think you want at least 2 Burrenton Forge-Tender in your SB.
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

I have loved the Stillmoon in the past. But now that Zealous persecution is out, I feel their value has decreased significantly in that match up, don't you think?

I agree with this. Although I would say that this means you should run the full 4 or zero, so you are effected less by ZP either way. Stillmoons and anthems could be good also.

Their value has certainly decreased in that matchup.
That said, a creature that blocks and kills all of their junk or swings for big-hits unimpeded, and can only be killed by the sweeper they want to save for your Spectrals is still pretty good.
It's not invincible, but it's probably the best card available for the matchup.l
