Mardu burn So im at 5 cards left to finish this list and for some reason im stumped at what I should be looking for. I have some card draw, hard removal, might need a tad more ramp. Im hoping a few more eyes might be able to help me out with this.

You need something like 10 ramp cards absolute minimum. I'd go above that to something like 13. Keep them as cheap as possible. Gilded Lotus is actually a pretty bad ramp spell. You should aim to play things in the 2 CMC range. This means talismans, signets, etc. You're looking to cast 5 and 6 drops asap. That means waiting to get your ramp online is costly. It's also much easier to sequence your ramp into a turn where you do something else when they are cheaper. Further, if someone blows up your signet, it means way less than losing a lotus.

issue is, im running the signets, the only talisman i can run, chrome lanter, stone, ring. I could throw in sphere as another option. I gave my thran dynamo to a good friend of mine since we basically share a collection and he gave me some good cards. might want to put the banner in there, and im not sure about Coalition Relic

Other good rocks at 2CMC:

Basically if it comes in untapped and taps for 1, it's pretty good for no money at all.
