First attempt at building a strong, focused deck. Fairly new to Magic so still figuring out which cards are better than others and why.

Pretty straight forward deck. Red/Blue. Lots of spells to combo with the Guttersnipe, Cyclops, and Pyromancer. Not much in the way of counters, other than Izzet Charm. Ideally, plays fast and hard, before opponent has time to get going.

Built so everything will remain Standard legal after rotation in September.

Haven't worked out a Sideboard yet until I get the main deck pinned down.

Please let me know what you think. I'm sure there are better options for some of the cards.
