Thanks for your feed back! you are quite right about guttersnipe being overplayed but he is still such a brilliant card. In regards to card:Chemister's Trick, doesn't Blustersquall pretty much do the same without the inbetween?Dynacharge looks like something I'll put in, same with Goblin Rally .
I'll try some changes and depending on how it works out, I'll edit the deck here.

Mystic Retrieval is very similar to Call to Mind , except it has flashback and it's regular cost is 1 more. The flashback will help you trigger Guttersnipe even more. It's a matter of preference in the end, however.

Yeah, it's a big toss up between Mystic Retrieval and Call to Mind . One of the main reasons I have Call to Mind is to just go back and forth between it and another in the graveyard. Flashback almost means I won't be able to do that (as it will end up exiled). I think I'll only swap out one for Mystic Retrieval , I only need two Call to Mind in the end.
Thanks for the suggestion in any case.

I actually decided to get rid of Mystic Retrieval and Call to Mind , I didn't find myself needing them.

I have an Izzet-flavored Goblin deck here: Izzet Really Another Goblin Deck?
However, mine focuses more on creatures (specifically, tokens) and mainly uses spells to bring them out. Might give you some ideas.
As to your deck: I've never really found a great use for Izzet Charm when I used to play it. It always seems like there are better options for me, personally, though you may like it. If you are playing casual, why not Lightning Bolt ? It is pretty epic. Two more suggestions: get rid of the Guildgate (it slows you down) and get your land up to at least 20.
Looks like it should be pretty fun! Enjoy playing!

Thanks for the feedback!
The the main reason I though of putting the Izzet Charm in the deck is for its versatility. like, I can counter spells I don't like and can cycle cards from my hand to retrieve Guttersnipe /Goblin Electromancer . however, I still haven't payed with it in the deck, getting a couple seems to be a trouble for me (weird as it is), so you may be right.I was thinking of Lightning Bolt , but again I don't have any. what would i take out for it? The charms?

I would say probably either the Izzet Charm or Pillar of Flame . I thought from looking at the charm initially that I'd like it, but I found that I just never seem to have a good use for it when I get it... lol Anyway, the Bolts could replace the Pillar of Flames, although then you would lose the exiling ability... However, 1-drop for 3 is killer, both on creatures and on players.

Actually, yeah. I don't think I really need more card draw atm, more burn spells would help more, I think I'll try get lightning bolts instead of the charm. Thanks.

Cool idea, reminds me of my deck Mad Science!!! I love the idea of giving powerful, ancient magic to a bunch of idiotic, reckless, butt-scratching goblins!! Don't you find Guttersnipe a bit overplayed though? At any rate I suggest card:Chemister's Trick - it makes them poke at you for, like, 3 damage max and then leaves them open to a vicious (possibly Dynacharge d?) counter-attack next turn! You don't even have to call them the next day! XD Anyway have fun with your goblies and +1 for originality!!
