So you have shock lands for {Chained to the rocks}? That seems unnecessary considering you have the temple's of triumph. Those are going to be consistent on they're own.

23 is a lot of lands. Also very inconsistent with the shocks, temples, and mutavault. RDW wants to be able to cast everything right out the gate. Over half your lands don't do that.

This was a shell list I found online that had done fairly well in a few tourneys. Just getting ideas for what standard deck will easily switch to modern format and legacy.

I like the idea of creating a base group of cards that I can adapt to different formats. I just don't think this is truly a RDW.  RDW would be a good deck to start the process you are talking about though.
