This is based on the deck I built in DotP and tweaked to use some of the cards I didn't have available there. It centres on Guttersnipe and relies on flashback heavily.I'm not looking for something Standard. most of my friends and I play modern anyway. So any suggestions to really make this deck fun would be appreciated.

Overhaul — Aug. 11, 2014

Edit

After seeing some casual play and my original deck just not running as nice as I'd hoped, I took it back to the shop. Decided to knock it down to the ground and build it back up. Taking into account advice from Jamesfurrow I added in a little bit more U control, to help me get the combos I wanted. Then I dropped those combos for some old heavier-hitting burn combos and managed to lower my curve substantially. I worry about my mana flow without Scalding Tarns to get me exactly what I need, but a couple play tests should help figure it out.

Essentially the deck is still doing what I want, which is burn, but it's doing it slightly more efficiently and with a bit more U cover to help. I hated cutting the Goblin Electromancers, but I felt I was depending on them too much to lower my curve and in the end they were my ultimate betrayers.

I reset the comments on the old deck build to allow for new suggestions on this new one. Have at it and any advice is appreciated.
