Sunscorch Regent vs RDW and the like in the sideboard of Jeskai Midrange?
Thoughts?

Unplayable. It literally gains you one life point most of the time anyway against that deck, assuming that you survive long enough to cast that card.

It would be acceptable against control decks but against red it would be a horrible drop.

Vs RDW you might consider sideboarding some cards to slow down the board, like Surge of Righteousness, or even Encase in Ice to a lesser extent

Arashin Cleric Nyx-Fleece Ram are better creature options against RDW.

I like any fast casting creatures. think Seeker of the Way, Soulfire Grand Master and Hidden Dragonslayer as all have lifelink.

Hidden Dragonslayer doesn't sound like a great sideboard plan at all as a 6 mana 3/2 lifelinker.

it is a three-for. It blocks, it gains you life and it destroys a target biggie. I believe it is pretty good early game. Don't have to pay all 6 at once.

This is a 5 drop that counts on your opponent continuing to cast things after it is dropped. They want you dead way before turn 6. Seems bad.
