So a long time ago I met Avaricious Dragon I could see it's potential but feared it's downside so much that I steered clear of it.

Jump forward, recently I noticed that I had seenPyromancer's Swath's downside previously on a different card, Avaricious Dragon! It simultaneously occurred to me that if I already had a Pyromancer's Swath on the field and I cast a second or an Avaricious Dragon the down side effect would be redundant!

The deck seemed to form itself, prowess cards would prove beneficial (like they do in most burn) and all sorts of "curiosities" became deadly weapons with a Pyromancer's Swath out. I wanted to add in madness cards to benefit from discarding but black really doesn't have much to offer a aggro burn deck...

Okay I'm done rambling here are the cards:
- Pyromancer's Swath -The meat and bread of this deck, all other cards are referenced to as if I had this on the field
gutter snipe -A slightly different Pyromancer's Swath sometimes better (Dragon Fodder) sometimes worse (Grape Shot, Forked Bolt)
Avaricious Dragon -a 4 CMC 4/4 with Flying that draws you a card once a turn? count me in!
Monastery Swiftspear -the new aggro red staple, though in truth I am considering dropping her because once this deck is up and running she and Goblin Rabblemaster are the only "dead cards" I can draw.
Dragon Fodder -cheap swings, or chump blockers.
Goblin Rabblemaster -Alternate win condition the other card I might drop or sideboard. It should be noted that gutter snipe is a Goblin and Goblin Rabblemaster put's him in jeopardy.
Flame Jab -Convert top-decked land into lightning bolts, Nuff' Said.
Pyromatics -Replaces Grape Shot while under normal circumstances it will only be replicated once, it is still slightly more reliable than Grape Shot
Lightning Bolt -due to the nature of this deck Lightning Bolt's power in comparison to other burn cards is severely weakened, but it's still an amazing: "you lose one quarter of you life total"
Fiery Temper -A worse lightning bolt but hey, you take what you can get.
Mountain -...

Some things I've considered:

More card draw, if I discard my hand every turn some combos (Grape Shot) are severely weakened.
Ensnaring Bridge would give the deck a prison twist, nearly always guaranteeing that I cannot be attacked.

Please leave comments and suggestions (I wouldn't mind an up-vote either)!
