In the interest of winning... —Aug. 31, 2015
In the interest of winning, I have decided to change my deck to be more controlling of my opponents actions.
If I am against RDW and I don't have at least 2 seeker of the ways or a hand full of removal, I basically lose. This deck will never be faster than RDW, and I need to stop pretending I can race them. For this reason, and my recent viewing of this deck here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCKTf5BBhIc , I have decided to change my list. With a smaller focus on creatures, I am able to include board wipes to slow opponents down. My win-con is burn, and with the amount of draw in the deck, I will find enough of it to win.
I am looking to aquire a third Pyromancer's Goggles to increase the consistancy of the deck. When this happens, I will likely remove my singleton Howl of the Horde. I have to draw the line somewhere, and unfortunately I just need to stop playing terrible cards for style points.

Thanks man. I too am looking forward to BFZ. With all the interaction exiled cards I am hoping to find a way to exploit Temporal Trespass or Ugin's Nexus.... Yep, I think i am insane. It's unlikely, but we can always hope.

Love the deck!!! Made one just like it because I am a big fan of Jeskai nonsense as well! Just a few thoughts, what do you plan to replace the Magma Jet and Magma Spray with post rotation? Exquisite Firecraft is a good one especially with all the Instants and sorceries. The mana's bit on the higher side, but still a good card. Crater's Claws would be a good one too. Now I'm not sure if the ferocious trigger would happen if you have a Seeker of the Way out and the prowess trigger gets it up to a 4/4. Also for a one drop I think Wild Slash would work super well in here! Hope that helped!! :D

Im waiting to see what zendikar brings to the table before making any decisions. I am hoping for either a magma jet reprint or a lightning strike reprint to replace magma jet. Some kind of exile effect will likely replace magma spray as it is only there for hangarback walker. I am running white so it wont be to hard to find a replacement there.
In regards to ferocious, it will depend on when the condition is checked. I know that prowess happens before the spell resolves due to it entering the stack after but in not sure about ferocious. I will have to check.
If you are building this deck and are looking to keep it post rotation, then the best replacements for magma jet and magma spray are probably exquisite firecraft and wild slash respectively. However, the game plan would be changed more heavily to ignoring thier creatures and going face with your burn. The scry is what gets me with the magma jet. Casting it before attacking with narset to get rid of lands and creatures from your top two cards is great.
But thanks for the suggestions and will keep them in mind when it comes to rotation.
PS. I wrote this on my phone so i couldnt be bothered to use the brackets or to spell check.
