I think this is the strongest build of the deck and the one I will be playing with. Splashing and White and Blue gives the deck much more firepower and control. The deck can go fast and finish fast or it can be fast and aggressive at the start and transition into a burn/control deck late. It has some effective ways to use Purphoros, God of the Forge 's creatures ETB abbility. Young Pyromancer is the point guard of the deck. Decent amount of devotion as well to get more value out of Purphoros, God of the Forge and Fanatic of Mogis.
If the sideboard is more than 15 it is a maybeboard.
CREATURES
Purphoros, God of the Forge makes all of my burn +2 dmg and puts in some real work. He seems to become a creature in about 50% of games.
Young Pyromancer is a great 2 drop. I rely on the tokens it produces for offense and defense. When Purphoros is out every elemental shocks the opponent. Shock reads: Deal 4 damge to target player and place a 1/1 red elemental token on the battlefield.
Fanatic of Mogis is the best burn spell red has right now and it comes with a 4/2 body. 4-8 damage is the normal in this deck.
Boros Reckoner stone walls aggro decks combined with Frostburn Weird. 3 devotion and hits hard.
Rakdos Cackler aggressive 1 drop that draws early removal. Side in Nivmagus Elemental against control to counter their counters.
Chandra's Phoenix is aggressive, evasive, and resilient. It never stays dead and is hard to block. If you end up needing a blocker he can chump repeatedly. 2 Devotion is a plus.
BURN
Shock is awesome, so many uses.
Lightning Strike is good. Hits a lot of creatures and hurts to the face.
Turn / Burn is our best removal. I can use it as a 2 mana shock or combined with Turn kill any creature. Mizzium Mortars doesn't have much reach and couldn't be used to shock the face, testing with Turn / Burn fixed a lot of problems.
Boros Charm is the burn to the face the deck was missing when coming up 1-4 life short on the win. Indestructible permanents helps a lot to.
PLANESWALKERS
Chandra, Pyromaster +1 can be very relevant as I lost by 1-4 plenty with this Izzet build deck. Moving a blocker out of the way can win a game. 0 gives us an extra card every turn. -7 can actually do something with Boros Charm.
ENCHANTMENTS
Assemble the Legion provides a late game finisher. In this shell the tokens can become lethal quick backed by burn.
Hammer of Purphoros Haste is always good, 2 devotion, and can create big hasty beaters out of extra lands. Possible 5 damage for 3 mana.
Barrage of Expendables gets sided in vs anything with black or esper. Turns their removal into: pay 2-3 mana, discard a card, lose 1 life - Destroy target creature
Chained to the Rocks is cost efficient removal. Desecration Demon & Polukranos, World Eater are no longer problems.
OTHER
Steam Augury = card advantage. Reload with weapons midgame, addresses one of red's biggest weaknesses.
Wear / Tear Whips, DSpheres, Hammers, Assembling legions get destroyed.
