Zada, Hedron Grinder Mirrorwing Dragon Balefire Liege and Chandra's Ignition are all awesome in feather. Really fun deck.

I think that you have missed an important part of the gold cards, or the multi-coloured cards in general. Namely, cards that punish (Soldier of the Pantheon) or reward you for playing them (Glass of the Guildpact/General Ferrous Rokiric/Grixis Grimblade and its cycle/maybe even Balefire Liege or similar cards).

Talisman of Conviction good mana rock.

Balefire Liege!

Sacred Fire mini Lightning Helix

Cave-In free board wipe that gains life now.

Aurelia's Fury best of both worlds. So much value.

Heartwarming Redemption card draw in Boros is rare. Every opportunity must be seized. This is Windfall that triggers the 3 damage.

Lorehold Command swiss army knives are cool. Being an instant is a plus. 5 mana is very awkward but 6 damage/6 gained life PLUS whatever effect out of the three is most useful for the moment makes it worth considering.

I have Karlach, Fury of Avernus and Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar to help with What Feather wants to do, but as good as extra combats are, they ARE kinda pricey. I WAS kinda thinking about Goldspan Dragon or Balefire Liege, but right now since I am running the Guilty Conscience + Phyrexian Vindicator Combo, I have to devout a slot to that aura. Since I don't have too many ETBs, I thought it would be good to change-up the equipment that I have so Instead of ramping, I can hit harder or tutor, with say Sunforger. I have also been possibly toying with The Reaver Cleaver as a buff AND something that makes treasures, which means my mana can carry over from turn to turn.

I have been also trying to put in Explosive Entry and Sudden Breakthrough but I am just not sure what to cut.

Thanks wallisface! Made some tweaks to the deck to get it back to 60 and tried to make high mana cost cards more reasonable.

Planeswalker was cool but felt like he wasn't doing much for the rest of the deck, leaning more heavily on Balefire Liege and General Ferrous Rokiric for later game moves

Just wondering about the following situation: I control a Balefire Liege. My opponent controls a Shalai, Voice of Plenty. If I play a red spell, do I have to deal 3 damage to myself?

I have replaced Wear / Tear with Cathar Commando, which decreased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.10 to 4.08, as I can reanimate that creature (not with Tariel, but with other methods), to repeatedly use its ability; it will not trigger both of Balefire Liege's abilities but it shall gain a bonus from the liege, and it also shall serve as a deterrent against my opponents playing artifacts and enchantments.
