Removed: Harsh Mentor, Mogis, God of Slaugther, Winds of Abandon and Oketra's Monument

Added: Priest of Forgotten Gods, Drannith Magistrate, Jokulhaups and Goblin Bombardment

Explanations: I noticed that the burn caused by the mentor and the mogis was not as effective as it seemed, trying to depend less on casualties I decided to put a big hatebear (Drannith) and a more versatile removal (priest) The removal of Winds of Abandon gave way to Jokulhaups who seem to be most effective in deciding the game at the moment Silvar is threatening at the table. The oketra monument was removed in order to increase the range of combos with Goblin Bombardment

Despite the recommendations, I found a decent balance in 35 lands, maybe remove a manarock to put a land in place.

I'd get Savai Triome in there in place of a spell. 35 lands is cEDH territory, and this deck wants to cast 4 and 5-mana spells. 36 lands is the absolute floor I'd play in a casual Commander deck, and I'd want to be running 6-8 2-mana ramp spells on top of that. Much like Temple of the False God, 3-mana rocks are only mana sources if you have the lands to cast them, so the lower your land count, the more you need 0 to 2-mana sources. I'd get the full cycle of Talismans in there. Talisman of Conviction and Talisman of Indulgence are both excellent for a Mardu deck.

Tomer at MTGGoldfish just pointed out how silly Augur of Bolas can be in the T&S human tribal deck.

Oh, wow, Disciple of Bolas, I meant. Apparently, my brain capacity for cards maxed out around MTG card #15,000, and I'll just never be able to remember any of them anymore.

I traded the signets for the talismans, re-added the Bollas Disciple, but I can't find a place to add another Land. I have 35 lands and 10 forms of ramp, wouldn't that be a decent number?

I don’t think so. 36 lands is already low for a 2-color deck. Knight requires double white. Sol ring is colorless. Path requires a creature. You’ll still miss your 3rd and 4th land drops if you’re stuck on 2 lands and need to play a creature on t2, sword on t3, and equip t4. I wouldn’t rely on lantern for the same reason. With 3 colors and a budget land base, you’re better off running a triland you can cycle than something mediocre
