There are a few key things you aren't looking at.
1: aether vialing in a Silverblade is a thing.
2: giving something double strike does change the board state... It makes the blocks different and/or speeds up a race.
3: I am not saying elspeth isn't good.... I am just saying that the OP has stated why he doesn't want her in the main deck...

The big downside to hero is:
1: she costs 4 in a deck that runs 20 lands
2: you are never going to tick vial up to 4
3: she is a "win more" card
4: I honestly can't think of a deck in modern that would be scared to face a hero of bladehold...

Perilous Vault seems really bad in a planeswalker deck....

There's a reason you don't see Hero of bladehold in modern decks anymore...
Sliver Blade isn't a "win more" card... a win more card is a card that turns a winning board state into an even better board state. Silverblade can turn a losing board state into a winning one... The only good argument about silverblade is how bad pairing can be in a format filled with 1cmc removal.

I agree with elspeth but the OP has said a few times now why he isn't playing her so to each their own.

Kk, tell us a few things.
is this meant for casual? standard?
do you have a budget?
What kind of deck would you like to make? Aggro, midrange, control, tempo or combo.
:P basically just give a run down of what you want

Thunderous Wrath and Bump in the Night seems super out of place, and delirium skeins isn't the best, even worse without ensnaring bridge.
I feel Black/Red rack can be a really good deck, I just feel this list has strayed a bit from the path.

I mean, I am only going off of a mathmatical percentage that is proven in magic.
Sure sometimes you will be able to cast all the cards in your hand, most of the time you will be sitting there with 2-3 dead card which means you basically kept a mull-4/5.
Just trying to help your deck get better thats all.

Generally the only decks that can get away with less than 20 lands are decks that top out at 2CMC with mostly 1 CMC spells/whatevers, some combo decks or decks that just don't need mana(dredge).

Yeah i'm cool with the singletons, was just making sure thats why there was only one of each.

Is this supposed to be like a singleton 60 card deck?
Besides that you have WAYYY too little lands for how high your curve is deck wouldn't work 8/10 times.

If you do go R/B spike jester can be a thing.
Also with the bloodstain mire reprint and being able to use blackcleave cliffs you can still keep an aggressive manabase after the release of Khans.

I feel having Omniscience/Dream halls/enter the infinite is good in almost any blue deck:P I mean you're dragon storm after all.

I feel the word "control" is used wrong here as you have 3 things control decks don't.
1: 18 lands
2: 2.5 removal spells
3: no card advantage.

NP, I would always suggest testing the deck both ways before agreeing to any changes.

Goblin guide is amazing and you're writing him off as bad... instant 4 of.
You give them lands sometimes, but it also gives you info if it isn't a land, it lets you know each of their draws.
You should still have 4x lightning bolt in the deck btw...

I would work on adding like zaklax has said:
Aether Vial 1-4
Goblin Guide 3-4
Lightning Bolt 1-4

Ember Hauler can come out for bolt
Goblin Cohort and a mountain can come out for goblin guide 2-4
Siege-Gang Commander and 2 Foundry Street Denizen can come out for aether vial.
I would also lower krenko to 2 and up rabblemaster to 3.
This lowered your curve and gave you better cards.

You might want to add 1-2 five drops so you dont have a dead space with yisan, Also if you use kiora's followers instead of voyaging satyr you can untap yisan or jalira to get a second activation in a turn.
Actually if you activate yisan, then uptap him with his ability on the stack and then reactivate him you can add another counter onto him.
This means you can search for two creatures with the same CMC.

For this example lets say yisan was at 2 counters.
1: Activate Yisan(3rd counter added and ability goes on the stack.)
2: untap Yisan with follower.
3: activate Yisan again in response to the first activation(add 4th counter)
4: now when the activations both resolve they will check yisan and see that he has 4 counters on him allowing you to grab two 4 drop creatures.

If you wanted a 3 drop like rec sage to deal with something you just let the first trigger resolve then activate again to grab a 4 drop.
