I would add Darksteel Citadel and Cascading Cataracts just so you can "destroy" them with Cleansing Wildfire and Geomancer's Gambit without actually losing lands.

Absolutely LOVE it... I have a Jeskai variant and some tools I use that I really like are Mission Briefing to be used as as a Snapcaster Mage value effect and Consider along side it... because im in {W} I use Dragonlord Ojutai for my finisher but I think Iymrith, Desert Doom could be really good to maybe split with your Dragonlord Silumgar.

some juicy Sideboard tech you can consider is Sweltering Suns for a sweeper that cycles if its dead and Narset, Parter of Veils...Alpine Moon/Cleansing Wildfire I guess?

Overall i really love the bones of this build... i wish you success and happy brewing!

Cleansing Wildfire is given flash speed.

Smashing Success is another card that can be used instead i belive.

If in response to the ETB of one of the new sac land (like Brokers Hideout) the land is removed, will i still fetch a land? i.e. if Cleansing Wildfire is cast in response of Brokers Hideouts ETB will i fetch 2 lands?

Why doesn't it work with Rampage of the Clans? It doesn't go to the graveyard, but it should still count as destroyed. Look at the scryfall.com notes for Cleansing Wildfire.

"If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), its controller does search for a basic land card and you do draw a card."

9-lives Ok, so the turn order goes untap, upkeep, draw, mainphase, attack phase, main phase, end step. Whenever you go from one step to the next you lose any mana you've added to your pool.

Upkeep basically exists for things that happen once at the start of a turn, after you untap your lands, before you draw a card. A lot of cards literally had 'upkeep' which makes you pay every turn to keep them (eg. Brand of Ill Omen back in the old days)

Braid of Fire was printed to help pay these, pay for instant speed effects like abilities (eg pump on Shivan Dragon) or actual instants.

If you want to play a big instant speed spell like Searing Wind, pay full price for Thunderous Wrath, or activate Soulfire Grand Master its great because you don't need to play a ton of lands.

Harsh mentor is in the same category as Ash Zealot, Immolation Shaman Tunnel Ignus and Ishi-Ishi, Akki Crackshot- they care about your opponents doing very specific things, which most opponents can just ignore.

Effects like great revel deal damage no matter what deck your opponent plays. Even more, compared to things like Young Pyromancer that care about what you are doing, they are a lot less reliable.

You can build decks around and that use them - I have in the past, especially for budget brews, but it takes planning. Tunnel ignus feels bad until you start playing Path to Exile, Cleansing Wildfire and Geomancer's Gambit, but its rare that you want to just put one in there - its home is usually in the sideboard.

Someone whose combo casts a billion cards from the gravyard will hate losing game two to a single ash zealot, and harsh mentor is in the same category.

this is just a generic sideboard I would consider working towards.

2x Prismatic Ending 2x Abrade/Rip Apart 2x Stony Silence/Hurkyl's Recall 2x Rest in Peace/Relic of Progenitus 2x Pithing Needle 2x Remand/Spell Pierce/Spell Snare/Counterspell 3x Blood Moon/Cleansing Wildfire/Alpine Moon

things in the modern meta to be mindful of are Chalice of the Void and Ensnaring Bridge... {RW} have access to a lot of artifact and enchantment removal. I suggest 2 copies of Prismatic Ending and 2 copies of Abrade/Rip Apart. Prismatic ending counts as a 1cmc spell so it can hit chalice on {2} and rip apart can get rid of chalice on {1} and both can clear away ensnaring bridge... maybe even Hurkyl's Recall for affinity matchups.

you dont seem to have much reliance or utilization of your own graveyard as a resource so Rest in Peace/Relic of Progenitus seem like a great option for hosing opponents with graveyard shenanigans.

Cleansing Wildfire/Alpine Moon seem like good options for dealing with somthing like Inkmoth Nexus... Blood Moon also works but its a bit high cmc and youd have to make sure you fetch a basic Plains/Island before playing it.

Because you are in {U} a good countermagic spell could be Remand... it might buy you a turn against a combo deck like Saheeli Rai + Felidar Guardian and draw you a card.
