I agree, Monastery Swiftspear would be great in this deck. I'd swap her for the Searing Blood's you have in there. Also maybe Inferno Titan as a one-of for the games that (somehow) drag out? Either him, or Dictate of the Twin Gods. Of course, if you want more creatures, there's always Spark Elemental and Hellspark Elemental; as well as Ball Lightning. Maybe Goblin Guide or Lightning Serpent?

I also agree, Monastery Swiftspear would be a good addition. I'm not crazy about dropping Searing Blood because of how it combos with Satyr Firedancer. Any other suggestions?

Idk man. With low power cards like this, your opponents will shake you off.

Rabid_Rabbit, I was mostly just making a Taylor Swift reference. Though without a way to make it consistently unblockable of flying, Kiln Fiend can be chump blocked. Maybe Guttersnipe?

I have a few ideas for this deck. Firstly why do you have 4 slow lands when you could have 4 Copperline Gorge? Or maybe 3 Copper and 1 slow land. For this deck I would suggest Assault Strobe and Apostle's Blessing maybe Brute Force. I like deck anyhow +1

Thanks for the suggestions potplantman. When I first threw the deck together I didn't own any Copperline Gorge and they just didn't fit my budget at the time, but I'll de looking to add a few.
Thanks for the +1 too even though I think you might have forgot to upvote. ;)

Nice deck. +1
Check out my izzet version: Rift Striker
Concept is pretty much the same, though I use blue removal with Delver instead of red removal with Blistercoil. I like that your version can do a lot of burn damage, along with the Vexing Devil to make things harder to deal with.

Personally if this were my build I'd be looking to drop creatures and raise the number of instants and sorceries that fuel the few creatures. Predator's Strike or Colossal Might could replace Ghor-Clan Rampager because it provides the same bonus to Blistercoil Weird or Monastery Swiftspear but gives more to Kiln Fiend. The 4 damage from Vexing Devil is okay, but you could get more benefit from a damage spell like Lava Spike because it's 3 direct damage, but it triggers your creatures which does 2 things: 1) raises the potential damage 2) lowers the chance of being able to ignore the devil with chump blockers or killing it with something bigger. Lastly you don't seem to have much in the way of artifact destruction in your sideboard in case of affinity or tron. That being said Smash to Smithereens is a good one for getting some points in or a lot of people like Ancient Grudge for the flashback.
Also side note if you go with some of the creature to instant swaps I suggested it would bring Spite of Mogis to a possible mainboarding position

Also if your budget ever allows for it Goblin Guide goes in pretty much every red aggro deck.

How about Monastery Swiftspear?
