I don't mind Hedron Archive , and have it in some decks, but its 4 CMC for 2 mana. Yeah, its sacs for cards eventually, but still, I'd rather my ramp be a bit cheaper. Thran Dynamo perhaps?

Gadianten on Magic the Gathering Presents, Cats

I think your theatrical feline cast is a bit thin and you might want to look over a few potential talents such as Regal Caracal , Adorned Pouncer , Balan, Wandering Knight , Brimaz, King of Oreskos , Jazal Goldmane , Jareth, Leonine Titan , Leonin Abunas , Leonin Shikari , Leonin Warleader , Oreskos Explorer and Raksha Golden Cub to fill out any roles you may have.

Equipment is a very costly prop for such a play and as such I would look to add some more mana sources such as Thran Dynamo , Everflowing Chalice , Worn Powerstone and other efficient sources.

Zequen on Feather, Redeeming Your Spells

Minor improvements, your rocks make a lot of colorless mana. Most of your spells are one or two mana, and don't use much or any colorless mana. Replace them with Marble Diamond or Fire Diamond or something similar because I am sure you will find Thran Dynamo will not be as useful as you want.

Akroan Conscriptor with Cloudshift will cause permastealing creatures as a nice combo.

You included some odd choices for protection. Apostle's Blessing >> Faith's Shield or Blessed Breath unless you really think protection from artifacts will be relevant.( Bathe in Light is also good in it's own way)

Niveous Wisps and Crimson Wisps is another solid option from card draw. Guided Strike is decent too.

Magnetic Theft + Sunforger is a nice tutor combo. To be fair you can also steal equipment from other players as well with this without Sunforger

Vanguard of Brimaz and Akroan Crusader can be useful for better blocking and adds more creatures.

For win cons you can think about Aetherflux Reservoir , Sphinx-Bone Wand , and even Sentinel Tower .(even if that one only works on your turn) You can also add Guttersnipe to end games as well.

A Fun add is Intimidation Bolt . Hit you own creature and you can't be attacked for the rest of your game as long as you have 3xplayers mana. (oh look Feather, the Redeemed is a 3/4, and will live from that ;) )

I think if you are going to pay for a mana rock, it should produce more than one mana for you. Color fixing doesn't seem to be a major problem in a two-color deck. You could keep the ones you have listed if you really like the flavor, and I'd consider dropping Darksteel Ingot for Worn Powerstone . Thran Dynamo is another consideration. I'd go with Basalt Monolith as well.

Hey, you could upgrade the mana rocks that you're already playing? All except Sol Ring and Monolith of course. All the rocks I suggested ETB untapped. Dragon's Hoard for instance for the same mana cost has much more repeatable value than Vessel of Endless Rest . Hoard is both a mana rock and a draw engine. Mind Stone also has more value then Fire Diamond because Stone ETB untapped and can be sac to draw later on when you don't need ramp.

The mana rocks you play don't have to make red mana, it would nice if they did, but they don't have to because there's 31 Mountains here. Red mana is not a problem; the rocks just need to be able to make mana, colorless mana, for ramp to get Zirilan or another Dragon onto the battlefield faster. There's a lot of high CMC Dragons here; if Zirilan gets stuck in the Command Zone due to Commander cost or disrupted and you're unable to use his ability to cheat Dragons onto the battlefield then you want a backup plan to be able to cast Dragons. Mana rocks for ramp is a good backup plan. Semi-budget rocks such as Thran Dynamo and Gilded Lotus are good when playing lots of high CMC cards.

Cards like Mishra's Bauble and Urza's Bauble are fine, but I think they would be better as mana rocks. Blood Frenzy and Volcanic Offering are okay, but they're a one time shot spell and as a one time use they lose a lot of playability. One time effects from cards like Chaos Warp and Gamble are worth it because these effects for the mana cost are unique in red/powerful for red. Fling is fine if you have ways to repeatably cast it, but as a one time effect with only one Dragon it's very lackluster.

Consider Goblin Welder ? Welder, Feldon of the Third Path and Steel Hellkite have great interaction because Hellkite is an artifact Dragon. The tokens that Feldon creates are artifacts you can use one of these artifact creature tokens at instant speed with Welder to sac it to reanimate Hellkite or any other artifact. Welder can also be a way to reanimate an artifact sac/tuck outlet which you need on the battlefield otherwise the Dragon you cheat into play with Zirilan will be exiled end of your turn. Welder also helps to assemble the Monolith + Rings artifact combo. Solemn Simulacrum is very good with Welder and Feldon because he's an artifact who gives you value when he ETB and when he dies.

Cards like Welder and Feldon can benefit from cards that can put other cards into your graveyard. Consider adding Daretti, Scrap Savant , Faithless Looting and Gamble? Daretti is repeatable draw/graveyard enabler/reanimate artifact. Consider Tel-Jilad Stylus ? The most mana cost effective way to tuck a Dragon back into your library. Artifacts are honestly just as important for your deck's strategy then Dragons are.

• Dragon's Hoard

• Fellwar Stone or Everflowing Chalice

Swamp Thran Dynamo for Exsanguinate .

GrandRoyal on Jhoira, The combo Captain cEDH

Thran Dynamo and Basalt Monolith are easier to get ahead on. I thought this was cEDH originally so the cluestone and lens are probs fine as well and I was going to suggest the more expensive artifacts like Mox Opal , Mana Crypt , and Mana Vault but yea....
