I had the idea for a deck with Zur's Weirding  + Firemanes for a lock, a while back.
A buddy of mine runs a Zur's Firemane deck. It has Honden of Cleasing Fire  to complete the lock if Firemane is not available. He is also running Searing Meditation  to finish out the removal package. Now its morefo a casual deck but you might be able to tune a deck like this to fight the meta.
You do have a ton of good new red and white cards you could try to add in.

Legitimately laughed at this...haha

Gifts seems pretty underwhelming; also, it's brokenness quotient is too low.

I you want to keep Gifts, I would go for a singleton Firemane and two Exalted. Or maybe 2 Eternal, 1 Firemane and 3 Exalted. I would also include a Firespout, so you can pull off the 'gifts for three sweepers move' that was, in my opinion, one of the better features in Chapin's Gifts deck. Angelfire could also be a home for Scepter with both Mana Leak and Helix there already.

I have been working on a Lightning/Trinket Angel variant for a while now, but I'm not sure if it would fit in with the metagame. Tell me what you guys think:
4x Lightning Angel
3x Trinket Mage
3x Vendilion Clique
4x Spell Snare
3x Mana Leak
2x Stifle
3x Firespout
4x Thirst for Knowledge
4x Lightning Helix
2x Chalice of the Void
1x Pithing Needle
2x Engineered Explosives
24 Lands including Riptide Laboratory

Enigmata: When I was testing the list similar to yours that I showed you a few days ago, I found that EE was usually better than Wrath. I recommend switching the numbers.
If you keep Gifts:
-1 Wog or EE if you make the switch, +1 Firespout.
Use a 3-2-1 setup for finishers so you can have Firemane Angel.

Not sure how I feel about Scepters in the s/b. Here's my idea:
3 Chalice of the Void
1 Wrath of God
2 Stifle
4 Canonist
2 Leyline of the Void/Tormod's Crypt
3 Pithing Needle
With all the decks using a LftL engine, and with the return of Dredge, I think some amount of gravehate is important. Also, I'd go -1 Hallowed Fountain +1 Tolaria West in your main deck. Maybe also -1 Spell Snare +1 Stifle? Stifle doesn't really seem to have any flaws...

3 Ethersworn Canonist
3 Pithing Needle
2 Tormod's Crypt
2 Stifle
1 Wrath of God
Thoughts on this board? It seems to have answers to most of the commonly played decks, though it might be a little heavy of Elf hate and light on stuff for Blue control.
