It's game day this weekend I didn't have a standard deck so I decided to make the cheapest deck I could, they felt like it wasn't just a downside of some other deck.
I don't know what to have for the rest of my sideboard because I have only been playing Bo1 arena. my LGS didn't have any fading hope and it will take a month to get anything online any ideas for what I can replace it with?
Reckless Impulse is better because you can cast it at your convenience. You plan a volley, then Impulse. With Rob, you need to cast it, then plan. Things can go wrong.
Rona's Vortex is the closest equivalent to Fading Hope. It's a downgrade, so maybe split it with Shore Up. I like Ancestral Anger, but you do need another use for those islands, and with Levitating Statue, you're geared to a longer game that Shore Up makes possible.

Some of the lands are expensive but everything else is common or uncommon. What is better Rob the archives or Reckless Impulse?

For the sideboard, I like what you have, plus a few Strangle to overwhelm creature-heavy decks. I prioritize one mana and three damage because many play obnoxious cards like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Phyrexian Fleshgorger, or Skystrike Officer. If you have Ledger Shredder, play that instead.
