Here are some I use, seperated by category:
Double Strike: Temur Battle Rage , Assault Strobe , Psychotic Fury , Buccaneer's Bravado , Raking Claws
Haste: Expedite , Crimson Wisps , Accelerate , Fever Charm
Evasion/Unblockable: Distortion Strike , Slip Through Space , Artful Dodge , Crypsis
Protection: Dive Down , Mizzium Skin , Glint , Shell Shield , Lazotep Plating
Power Pump: Rush of Blood , Balduvian Rage , Dynacharge , Unleash Fury , Sure Strike , Brute Strength , Titan's Strength , Rouse the Mob , Infuriate
Other than that, I run some value cards, like Birgi, God of Storytelling Flip, Storm-Kiln Artist , and Aetherflux Reservoir to just go on, and on, and on, and on, so on and so forth. Plenty of Draw Spells to keep the gas going, and some other Spell-slinging accoutrements.

First off, welcome to EDH! Love to have new people.
Secondly, I think I might have a few pieces of advice/cards to add, but take them with a grain of salt as I might be thinking as if you were playing Zada, Hedron Grinder in the zone (that's my deck that's closest to this), so I might be confused sometimes.
Alright so looking at the deck. The first thing I notice is not a criticism, but more of a caution: you have 34 lands. Your low mana curve and low CMC on your commander makes this ok, but remember that for a large number of EDH decks you'll want closer to 36-37-38ish, but again, it's up to your own discretion.
The next thing is a bit of a question you might want to ask yourself: how do you want to win? The "typical" way to win in R/W is by getting a bunch of creatures really quickly, which it looks like you are partially trying to do with cards like Monastery Mentor, but this might not be a very efficient way to win unless you find Zada at some point, as she can refract those spells onto all your creatures. The main other ways to win are a Voltron strategy (getting one creature, often a commander, really big and killing someone with commander damage) or by combo -- if you were playing Zada you could do storm, but I don't know if Feather is equipped to do that kind of deck (plus, it's really hard to pilot for even experienced players and has a lot of really really tiny interactions you have to keep in your head and you often take really long turns, so it might be something you want to avoid until later on in your EDH career).
I think going for the 21 damage with Feather might be a good idea for this deck, wherein you cast a bunch of spells that draw you cards for cheap every turn for a little while, and then starting to throw in a couple of your big damage spells like Unleash Fury every now and then and starting to attack with Feather. It'll be slow, but it'll keep you under the radar a little so you won't get immediately focused out of the game.
If you do decide to go the swarm route, you will probably want more spells that target your creatures and make tokens (for example, Make Mischief is a bad example as it makes one token at a time, but it will do the job if you really need tokens). In addition you'll probably need some protection spells like Faith's Reward and Flawless Maneuver so that you can stand against the inevitable boardwipe (although probably not Reward if you go the tokens route as tokens cease to exist as soon as they are in a zone other than play).
As far as cuts for when you focus the deck, I'm curious about Fever Charm? It doesn't seem great in the deck, but maybe there's something I'm not seeing. Emerge Unscathed seems ok but not great, you only protect a single creature so it can ... I guess make something unblockable? It doesn't really give you great card advantage though, which is a lot of what you're looking for in R/W. On the other hand, it's a repeatable way to fizzle spells that target your creatures ... up to you in whatever meta you play in. Gisela is a really good card, but if/when you play it it should instantly win you the game that turn; if not, the table will likely focus their attention on you and you'll probably die regardless of the damage prevention.
Finally, I have a quest for you: the next several times you play this deck -- maybe 10, maybe 20, I don't care on the number -- see how often these two things happen:
-
You get a Sunforger, on purpose, because you think it will help you win the game; and
-
While playing said Sunforger, you look in your graveyard and see a card there that you wish was in your library to be Forged out.
If the first option happens any more than 60-75% of games, you might want to look at that and figure out a different way to win; don't be that focused, people will figure it out and not allow you to keep the Sunforger out for very long.
On the other hand, if the second thing happens a lot, there's a trick you can add to the deck that I really like. Now, again, be wary of this because it might just mess up your deck and not help at all.
Add in Mistveil Plains and Tithe. Tithe specifies a "plains" card, so you can go and get Mistveil along with whatever other plains, maybe a Sacred Foundry or whatever. Now, when you play your Sunforger, you can activate it at some point when you have the mana, and you find Tithe. You cast Tithe, finding a Mistveil, and you play it for turn. Now, you can use the Mistveil to put cards you've already forged back on the bottom of your library to be forged again.
I know, Tithe has that $30 price tag, but you might find that it's worth it. If so, playtest with a proxied version first! No reason to go and buy a Tithe for nothing. But, on the other side of that, Tithe is already a fine white card in general, and is played in white decks that don't even play this combo so you might just want it anyway, and Mistveil is a $2 land so it doesn't really take a lot out of the deck either, except that it's a tapped land which can be annoying.
Alright, I'll stop talking so you can go and do whatever, let me know if this was helpful; I don't know how much magic content you consume or even if you know what the term "storm" means or what your magic playing skill level is so maybe none of this was helpful and you'll come back to it later when you understand the terms, but I would love to help out if you need/want any assistance.
Sorry for typing a novel!!!

Reckless Charge and Fever Charm could both work in this deck because they boost Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest and trigger prowess.

dylantep I'm going to reply in reverse order.
Yeah! its a pretty sweet combo, but a bit of a drag that the copy cant attack with the original. I did find some options but I'm hesitant to put in cards just for that situation, so I looked for options that had multiple applications. Check these out: Break Through the Line, Burst of Speed, Chaos Charm, Crimson Wisps, Dack's Duplicate (I'd lose the scry but be able to copy both sides of the board and swing immediately), Emblem of the Warmind, Expedite, Fever Charm, Hammerhand, Messenger's Speed, Uncanny Speed.

I was originally running the other slivers, but then it was the problem of you need most of them for them to be good. I kept Galerider only because it gave itself flying (and Mothdust Changeling, which I think is strictly worse and I'm not running a lot of tribal/tapping matters stuff, so that'll probably be cut first). So for the blue creature spot it looks like either Trickster Mage, Nephalia Smuggler, Reef Shaman (it's Tideshaper Mystic but during either player's turn), or Vortex Elemental (I've been considering this).
As much as a like how Fever Charm
looks, yeah there are better options. Thanks for the help and input by the way.
Thoughts on any of these:

I think those are all very sensible changes. Two notes: though blue is a bit short on creatures, you might consider keeping Turn Aside and cutting Galerider Sliver, who I'm pretty sure doesn't have any other slivers to interact with. You could also just replace Galerider with another blue creature (Trickster Mage? Nephalia Smuggler? Tideshaper Mystic?) and cut something from another color. I also kind of liked Thrive, and think Green Sun's Zenith is unnecessary with the other tutors (just an opinion).
You could replace Blazing Torch with Chromatic Star, Fever Charm with Winds of Change, and maybe Bump in the Night for Entomb. You'd be losing cards with very conditional value for less conditional value. And now that you have Molten Vortex, you can maybe ditch Magus of the Scroll for Banefire (I think Bonfire of the Damned isn't needed) - maybe Electrickery if you want that effect in there.
In any case, having drafted it a few times, I think it's really good, and shaping up to be even better.
