Looks really powerful but could definitely use a few more land!

Really? The curve is so low, it shouldn't. Maybe 2 more, but doubtful.
Well, you have sun titan, wurmcoil engine, and masticores. Just because of those I'd go with more like 23-24. Didn't see you had 22 already, though. Thought it was 20.
The Sun Titan and wurmcoil are if I fuck up and can't kill them. Or to toss to Masticore if needed.
That just seems pointless if they're merely fodder for teh Masticore. Don't play cards you don't intend to actually need/want/use.
Except I also said they are back up. Or did you not read the entire sentence?
Yeah, I did. But back up in magic is a silly concept I personally think. If they're good enough they may win you the game after you're already losing, they shouldn't be back up. If they're not good enough to actually help you win the game, then don't play them. Back up is what sideboard is for.
Sideboard is for things that are useless in most match ups, not for back up. If you don't have any back up, then you run out of gas and lose. It's an issue for most red decks. Which is why things like Dragonmaster are run.
Sort of. Kind of like you said, SB is where you have cards that aren't great in every matchup but the cards that will back you up, providing you a chance to win against otherwise really difficult matchups. Red decks do in fact have this issue but most pro decks don't run dragonmaster. They just play more of the actually better cards that are worth using like burn spells. But regardless... I still say it's a bad idea to run 22 land. lol
