Sideboard Update —Oct. 28, 2014
Made some changes mostly on the SB and just one in the Main:
MAIN
Stomping grounds - taken off one Sacred Foundry
to allow casting of Destructive Revelry from the SB for games 2 & 3.
SIDEBOARD
Destructive Revelry - replaced Smash to Smithereens to be able to deal with both artifacts or enchantments, albeit 1 less damage.
Searing Blaze - makes a return on my SB to deal with problematic creatures. With fetches in, it has been better.
Volcanic Fallout - sometimes I just need to sweep the board clean at instant speed and denies any sort of counter spell. Deals 2 to the face as well.
And also about, Treasure Cruise in a burn deck, I hear many are seemed interested in running it. IMO, I think it's just bad (despite you having to draw 3 cards) and it's just a trap since it doesn't deal damage on its own, plus the opponent might be dead already on the 4th or 5th even before you could cast it. If a spell doesn't help count to 20, then it may slow us down.
Anyways, feel free to try it out.

I've tried those before, but then it wasn't that consistent. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions.

Rakdos Charm in the sideboard for affinity/twin. Shard Volley is bad. Molten Rain in the maindeck.

@IRollTwnties and @quesobueno123
Thanks for the suggestions!!
I have yet still to get copies of Eidolon of the Great Revel and Grim Lavamancer here. Also, I haven't updated my sideboard and yes, Rakdos Charm is a good toolbox card, although I'm not that sure about Molten Rain especially in the main.

Satyr Firedancer for burning players and creatures AT THE SAME TIME!! ZOMG! Also, Isochron Scepter might be good to imprint your helix upon for turn after turn burn/lifegain. +1 for burning love, though! Check out my burn deck: Kill it with FIRE!!
