{Temur Charm} can do a pretty good {Dissolve} impression with a lot of added utility. Also i suggest {Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker}.

I definitely thought about the {Temer Charm} over the {Dissolve}, once all of the cards come in I'm going to play around with it and see which one deserves the MB over the SB. It'll probably see MB since it's also a removal and a counter.

As for {Sarkhan, the dragonspeaker}, I'm going to pass, though he can add some draw advantage if he ultimates and can be a {stormbreath dragon} for +1, i just can find a permanent use for him in this build. His ability a won't stick around too much to make a difference for my tastes.
But Sarkhan is a better storm breath. Remove 1 storm breath for one Sarkhan

That seems like an expensive removal just to see him lose the rest of his loyalty next turn. If I wanted to take out stormbreath, I would just use {temur charm}, or {stoke the flames}-I have enough creatures to convoke with

I could also just use {crater's claws}. A 4 drop that can deal 5 to creature or player which has a bit more potential to take out more than a toughness of 4 and at Sarkhan's speed

{See the unwritten}. This card is very strong in getting you back in the game especially good in a stand off and against a control deck

Looks like a great card. I see it's potential in here, but if I wanted to add it I would need to strip out some pretty useful stuff. I can't remove the creatures because those would fuel the "ferocious" effect. Ascendancy is very a cheap draw engine and the planeswalkers are some very useful distractions/threats. I can't pull courser or caryatid, obvious reasons. And dissolve is going to probably be replaced with the temur charm. Also, putting it in the SB would be a waste of potential.

I don't "see" where I could "write" it in.

{Stubborn Denial}
{Icy Blast}

{Stubborn Denial} was considered but it's really just sideboard material. I have plenty of counter spells between MB and SB and it's really just a conditional negate. So I cut it out

As for {icy blast}, a better limited card than constructed. Besides, all of the creatures in this deck, and the trample, tapping isn't really needed. It's not a threat by itself

I agree 100% on {icy blast}

Tweeked the mana base a bit

-1 {temple of epiphany}
-1 {temple of mystery}
+2 {frontier bivouac}

So i can MB 3 {temur charm}s and SB the {dissolve}s
