I'm either ramping up with pilgrim and draws, pitching key things with Scholar (who can also beat face, but probably shouldn't be), or even hardcasting Sigarda to kick things off. I think dissipate helps a bit, but it can be slow, so I'm not sure if I'd keep it.
Tips on the mana base (it seems to work much better than my Green/Red/Black experiment) or early game improvement?

If it were me, I'd want to splash red over green- gives you extra stall power with Arc Trail/Pillar of Flame, and gives access to Desolate Lighthouse and Faithless Looting, which seem really good. Plus, Forbidden Alchemy seems better than Amass the Components for this deck. Dissipate seems like it's too slow; I'd run Lingering Souls for chump blockers in that slot instead.
