Done with the first play-testing against bant megamorph and a kind of abzan midrange deck.
I switch mode a couple of time between this setup and the one without green.
I also swap the Hierarch with Swiftspear, DTT to Temur Battle Rage.
both have its pros and cons

Current setup:
pros
- a sure lethal damage when the combo works (most likely work at turn 5-6).
- able to survive the midgame, creatures are somehow easier to protect
cons
- with current land set it's quite painful with the painland eventhough the mana screw rarely happen, so a 'fail to kill' combo (miss calculation on the possible damage output) most likely end up losing at next turn :v
- rely quite a lot on the ascendancy combo

Without green:
Get titan's strenght, Reckless Bushwhacker, and Hordeling Outburst
pros
- higher board pressure
- easier to play (more straight forward)
- does not really rely on the combo
cons
- can't survive a longer game.
- harder to get the combo to be done

*Abzan midrange is surely a terrible opponent for this deck.

Still gonna work with this one. Maybe I need to use fetchland to make the mana and drawing more consistent and less painful, but budget actually still a consideration.

I actually want to put Temur Battle Rage in, but not sure what to take out. Maybe I dont really need Dig Through Time.
double strike to all the attacking creatures is always sweet for delivering damage but dunno.
Going to consider it after some play testing.
