Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance couldn’t hurt?

A few things to consider:

• Swap Browbeat with Brass's Tunnel-Grinder  ^Flip. You can exchange it. It can dig deeper. It doesn't generate card advantage but people can't pay life to counter it either.
• Swap Springjack Pasture with Mirrex.
• Add Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance.
• Seasoned Pyromancer could be good.

Sol Ring might be a good alternative to Seething Song. If you play it before Confusion in the Ranks, you'll have +2 mana every turn. And if you play it after, it is a permanent you can exchange. Urza's Saga could help you get it, and can even make a token. Mirrex is a potential sub for Springjack Pasture. Also a single copy of Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance wouldn't hurt. Imperial Recruiter can fetch Norin the Wary. Not sure if you'd rather have Norrin than anything else.

Hello! 3 colors isn't so bad. Everything is red but is splashed white and green. Basically if you get a fast land (Copperline Gorge or Inspiring Vantage you have your splash color for the game. Otherwise you need to play a flip land on not red. Sometimes awkward but very much worth it for the amount of damage those splash cards do!

Being an aggro deck I never find I have much mana leftover to be able to activate Roiling Vortex. It's a very good card for sure but with the amount of 1 drop spells I have I am almost always better off casting something to damage them more I found. Although there are times where they may gain more life than my 1 mana spell could deal and that would make it worth it I still do have Atarka's Command for the no life gain effect. It's usually cast to buff creatures and deal damage which in of itself deals a TON of damage making the life they may gain not really worth it.

Usually you can go quicker than the control builds or Atraxa so going 2nd isn't always bad. Once they do gain the life I do admit there isn't much of a way to win after that. Angels is an uphill battle for sure.

Squee isn't much for them not having a blocker but just to have something to stay alive or cast in a later game against removal heavy builds. I tried but I can squeeze Ramunap Ruins in because of 3 colors. I did put in 2 Den of the Bugbear and 1 Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance. The man land I've used more and is amazing, it's basically a Squee. I've used the channel land much less.

I'd recommend cutting: - Hard Evidence - Hordeling Outburst - Stolen by the Fae - Octavia, Living Thesis - Niv-Mizzet, Parun - Izzet Chronarch - Izzet Chemister - Spellburst - Occult Epiphany - Prismatic Lens - Rogue's Passage

I'd recommend: - Mind Stone (This would probably be more flexible than Prismatic Lens) - Lorien Revealed - Mystic Sanctuary - Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance - Skittering Invasion - Underworld Breach - Transcendent Message - Archmage Emeritus - Loyal Apprentice - Baral, Chief of Compliance (Potentially just doing a straight swap of this with Goblin Electromancer} - Storm-Kiln Artist - March of Swirling Mist - Crackle with Power (AWESOME win-con) - Apex of Power - Surge to Victory (This is hilarious) - Rise from the Tides - Mnemonic Deluge - Wayfarer's Bauble
