There are definitely many times when playing Sage lets you dredge more in one turn, but that's irrelevant if you need to bounce a Moat or Propaganda (especially given a board like yours with no enchantment hate).
Just started playing ichorid here, so I might not actually see all the subtle aspects of your choice. I'm wondering though, how often do you need firestorm once you are already able to use DR? I thought the card was meant mainly to protect your bridges before starting to dredge too heavily, or as a removal against random stuff like yixlid jailer or samurai of the pale curtain (so in 95% of cases, before you can actually play DR). Same thing goes for chain of vapor. If you really want an out against moat/propaganda mid-combo with DR, why not play wispmare in the SB (which also gives you one more answer to LLotV)?
