Here I will post deck lists, both homebrews and others, deck idea's, MTG thoughts and anything really magical related . Do note, my decklists are usually semi-budget because I don't like going and spending tons of money on cards, I do here and there but mainly I get cards/grow my collection by winning at FNM's and whatnot and/or trading. Feel free to chat to me about MTG if you like :).
*Notes*
The 1 Gideon Jura in the main deck was another Remand, but I have been less than impressed with Remand as of late, it is either amazing or really lacking so I am testing Gideon, and cutting Remand down to 2 copies. The Jotun Grunt, Monastery Siege, and 2 Suppression fields slots in the sideboard are always changing as far as what I think I need going into the next tournament but the other slots are fairly mainstay for where I play and rarely change.
*Notes*
It's sort've a hybrid between Jeskai aggro and Jeskai Tokens, I really really am in love with Mantis Rider, it wins so many games for me, but Jeskai Ascendency is so very powerful and can pull you out of nearly unwinnable situations and I wanted to play with both .
*Notes*
The lands are a bit budget, if I get the other scry or fetchlands needed for the manabase I will of course add them in. Liliana Vess was kinda underwhelming except once, I would like to move her to the sideboard and replace her with a Garruk, Apex Predator if/when I get one in the maindeck. Feed the Clan in the sideboard I never used, usually red is rampant at my FNM but this last time there wasn't a single person playing the deck so I can't say if they deserve to be in the sideboard or not, perhaps 1 or 2 copies is enough.
As long as you're not playing against mill and you haven't gotten your other planeswalkers, Liliana just searches for her friends or a finisher or whatever other answer you could want. I was running her as a 1-of in Esper control to find answers when needed. She's like a Sidisi 2.0, but better. For life gain, Radiant Fountain can work wonders along side Pearl Lake Ancient. It may hurt your colors a bit, but I think it's better than Feed the Clan taking up sideboard space. I would also recommend Ashiok because... Ashiok... lol.
I assume the quad Bile Blight is a meta call, since it's a bit of a strain on early-game mana, especially with so few untapped black sources available.

Radiant Fountain scares me, being colorless since my deck can be super color intensive since it does have double blue, double black, and double green spells in the deck. I totally agree about Ashiok but she's a wee bit expensive, so unless I am able to trade for one I wont be able to get one since I don't wanna buy it and I don't wanna crack Theros packs as my prizes, but I'd love to have her in there.

It wasn't too bad, but I really don't know what else to tick up in the deck if I am ticking the Bile Blight numbers down. Perhaps another Ultimate Price or Anticipate? I am not sure. What do you think?
I would avoid Radiant Fountain in this deck for the reasons that you already mentioned… The fact Sultai really can't afford to jam Radiant Fountains is why I switched to UB control, since the inability to gain life led to a lot of frustrating games where I'd establish control and then get burned out by a Siege Rhino with a kill spell in my hand or something.
I've seen some lists main deck 2 Drown in Sorrow to have more game in pre-board games against the hyper aggressive decks, so if you're cutting down on Bile Blight, that could be a consideration.
Looks like fun. I played a R/W Heroic deck that Teia built for me a few times before KTK was released. It was really trollish and fun to play whether I won or lost. Hope it works out for you!
As far as your cut goes, I think a mainboard Triton Tactics could be a lot of fun, but that's just me. (I have an unhealthy love of combat tricks.)

Funnily enough, I actually cut a Seeker of the Way for a mainboard Triton Tactics . Unfortunately tonight was Modern and I didn't know so I didn't get a chance to play it tonight but I definitely will next Friday when it will be Standard .
I played Mono-Red over Heroic tonight, ended up going 4-1 (making top 4) and I got some store credit getting got 2 Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker with it, so that was pretty awesome . Also traded away a ton of common/uncommon Modern Slivers + a few EDH cards I had extras of for a Xenagos, the Reveler, Windswept Heath, and Courser of Kruphix so that was also awesome . Was a good night of MTG .
Will be updating my haves/wants list. Not sure when I will actual post it in a thread on the trading forums, since my trade stuff has been seriously depleted lately (which is a good thing I suppose.)
Also got my trading thread up finnnnnnallllly. Looking forward to slowly collecting the pieces for Infect, Tron, and various Chord of Calling based decks, exciting!
I'm a big fan of Grixis decks in this format. I have seen some lists running one of your favourite cards in their sb as a sweet value 1-of for the grindy mirror matches. It has great synergy with Kolaghan's Command. I also feel like once you get Snapcaster, you might want to try out 1 Rise//Fall. It might not be worth it in the more aggressive shell, so I'd proxy it up to see if it's any good before picking it up since I think it's like a $2 uncommon or something now.
