Keep the planswalker or not?

Nyx-Fleece Ram is a pretty good blocker, and it has an added bonus of gaining you life each turn which gives you the chance to activate Searing Meditation constantly.

Anyone know a good way to add mana to this? Searing Meditation+ others will eat alot of mana itself and I could use something to give the deck more flexibility.

I would cut both shrines and add 1 Lightning Helix and 1 more Warleader's Helix.

I love Firemane Angel, my favorite RW card.

Are you trying to build a more traditional aggro deck, or one centered around Searing Meditation?

If you're going the meditation route I'd add in Sun Droplet and Well of Lost Dreams. Maybe an Ajani's Pridemate and Archangel of Thune. A fourth meditation would be good too. Maybe add Faithless Looting as a way to discard Firemane Angel. Another copy of meditation wouldn't hurt. Thing's I'd cut would be some of the aggro pieces.

Warleader's Helix isn't as good as Lightning Helix in this deck IMO. With the LH and mediation out you can pay 4 mana to deal 5, compared to WH that deals 4 for 4 mana. I would straight up cut the Warleader's Helix for those reasons.

Good luck!

Thanks to ynalak7 for the recommendations! Will incorporate them a bit at a time to see how they work in real matches.

This looks interesting, but you might explain your combos and you only have 57 cards. Lol.

I've been revising. The main combo is off firemane angel and other lifegains to trigger searing meditation.

Any sideboarding suggestions?

I would replace Duergar Hedge-Mage and Shattering Spree with a Wear / Tear. It is very cheap (money and mana) and very flexible. And it saves you some space in your Sideboard. Very situational, but have a look on Deflecting Palm.

I feel like Moonhold isnt quite in place here. will look for possible replacements

I suggest you replace Moonhold with Silence which stops all sorts of spells.Opponent will still be able to play lands, but since Moonhold arrives on turn 3 or more, I do not see the point of preventing land drops anymore against most decks.

Good point, I like it! It goes in! Moonhold is out.

Land count looks light, particularly with a chunk of spells at 5 and 6 mana, and both Well and Meditation looking to tax you extra mana regularly.

I played a deck like this a while back, but it included black and was looking to play a slower, more controlling game. You look like you're going for a little faster clock. If that's the case, I would definitely drop the Rams and probably the Droplets as well. Both are counter to your aggressive strategy. Maybe try Path of Bravery? I also feel like the Firedancer isn't doing enough for you with only 7 spells to trigger him.

Maybe -3 Droplet, -3 Ram, +3 land, +1 Path of Bravery, +2 Serra Ascendant.

Let me do some playtesting, and I will see about possible changes. They are good suggestions
