Thanks man!
Yeah the Brawler is kind of an experiment. I have barely drawn it so I can't say its good or bad really.
But being I have never played this sort of deck, in testing, I like the one drops.

How has the full playset of Simian Spirit Guide been working out for you?

Arid Mesa gets whatever shock land I need. Same as the other 8 fetches.
I guess I don't understand the question.
Deck can win easily with 1 land.
4 Simians, knock on wood, has not led to awkwardness yet. But I can see it being a problem.
If so, I can add 2x Bolt main.

I see you have considered Dryad Militant. That card is really well positioned right now with Storm, Grixis Shadow, Jescai Control, Mardu Pyromancer, etc. all being so prevalent. I started mainboarding three of them recently and have no regrets. Something to think about.

Very nice deck. Enjoyed doing a few tests against it and losing lol.

Have you thought about adding a few copies of Hidden Herbalists? I've run them in my list for a while since I despise SSG as a card and they've worked out well. Might also want to consider Ghor-Clan Rampager to push through some extra damage.
Experiment One is an all-star in the deck and I'd definitely keep it in the list.

In theory, i agree on Herbalists
and experiment. In practice, they haven't delivered for me.

Also, quick note that you have 5 Boros Charm in the 75 now that you added 2 in the main. I'd consider adding Deflecting Palm, Reclamation Sage or Thalia, Guardian of Thraben in their place. Thali is great against storm, but Rest in Peace might not be a bad choice either. Scavenging Ooze could also work for the sideboard if you find yourself needing to go a little more midrange.
I've heard some people use Greenwheel Liberator but I am personally unsure about him...

I don't think Voltaic Brawler is a very good choice here. Him being your only source of energy makes it weird, and I think a one drop instead of him would apply way more pressure in the game. The best thing that comes to mind for me is Vexing Devil, but there may be other choices. Other than that I'm very impressed with the deck. Hidden Herbalists works so well in the deck, and Narnam Renegade turn one from a fetchland looks like great pressure right off the bat. Definite plus 1 from me.
