I feel like you should play a bunch of the Innistrad flashback cards and play Burning Vengeance! Snapcaster mages, too! Goblin Electromancer and Talrand seem like great choices, though. Pike and Guildmage seem underwhelming if you're a guttersnipe deck?But yes, I think playing a Burning Snipe deck would be freakin' sweet! :D

I don't really know about ditching Pike. I have 23 instants and sorceries that are going to be entering the graveyard fairly frequently, and the first strike + the damage can help keep my guys alive in combat. Guildmage, I'll have to get some testing in, but I actually don't know how much it will help me.

Personally i like Reverberate because it can copy your opponent's bonfires, temporal masteries, and any expensive sorcery your opponent has.

I think I'll probably side that in. Doubt it's something I'd want to be running all the time.

Think Twice ? Pillar of Flame ? Burning Vengeance Would be nice too!

Needs nore land. A LOT more land

About how much more land would you say I need?

After playtesting it, with no real draw I would run domething like 23 or 24 lands. But with past in flames and the 5 mana dragon you're looking at 25-26

I'm not a fan of Past in Flames for two reasons.

1. Considering have the option of exiling a lot of your spells to really beef up the Elemental, your options are limited for this card.
2. Plus, for it to be more effective than Snapcaster Mage you'd have to be able to play two or more spells after paying the 4 mana to play this card, so we're talking turn six at absolute best, but more likely turn 8 to 10.

The lack of Cackling Counterpart displeases me. Talrand might be decent too.

Really nice, and inexpensive deck. Only thing I might change is Nivmagus Elemental . because when you play a spell and then exile it, I am not sure if it counts as casting it, so Guttersnipe I don't think would deal damage if you exile a spell with Nivmagus Elemental . But other than that, really nice job. +1

Personally I'm not really feeling the Nivmagus Elemental ...

here are some ideas:

-1x Hypersonic Dragon , +1x Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius (like a boss)

-2x Past in Flames , +2 Snapcaster (expensive, I know)

-2x Negate , +2x Syncopate

-3x Nivmagus Elemental , +1x Island , +1x Mountain , Cyclonic Rift (I love that overload option)

I don't really know how the new Niv would play in this deck. Hypersonic directly benefits my Guttersnipes by giving me more time to use my sorceries, but Niv is draw power.

I've been trying to decide what to drop the Past in Flames for. Snapcaster is always a good option, but money. 57 minimum for the three is definitely something I cannot afford.

I'll probably end up siding in the elemental, since his main benefit comes from counter-heavy decks.

Cyclonic is obscenely costly for the overload. I MIGHT, but I don't know.

For now you might as well use Delver or Talrand, Sky Summoner . Delver's sure to flip in this deck, and Talrand will give you Drakes on Drakes on Drakes.

I could do both

And side the Elementals for fighting counter-heavy decks

I like the sound of that.

card:Chandra's Fury = bad.

This deck SCREAMS snapcaster, I'm actually working on a very similiar deck. What I LOVE about Guttersnipe is having him out, and reverberating a spell. For example,

Pillar of Flame +Reverberate with just ONE guttersnipe on the board.

For 3 mana, you will deal 10 damage.Pillar of Flame - 2 + 2(Guttersnipe)Reverberate - 2(Guttersnipe)Pillar of Flame - 2 + 2(Guttersnipe)

If you happen to have 2 Guttersnipes on the board, 20 damage for 3 mana isn't bad ;) I'll be running 3-4 copies of reverberate in my deck along with 4 snapcasters.

Meh, there are already Increasing Vengeance , which are the same thing with the flashback option (which is made cheaper and therefore more awesome through Goblin Electromancer ).

I also am not a fan of card:Chandra's Fury. This isn't a RDW deck as much as it is a control deck.

Perhaps Dissipate (which is really a better version of Counterspell in this deck)

Haha, +4 Blistercoil Weird. Now.

Whoops, I take that back, did not see the "until end of turn" part of its text.

Actually, Increasing Vengeance is different, with it you can only copy YOUR spells, using Reverberate you can also copy your opponent's spells in tight situations. Although snapcasting increasing vengeance back could be pretty sick too, instead of having to pay the 5 for double spells. Not sure which would be more beneficial in maindeck.

My main thoughts on Chandra's Fury is that, when I have Goblin Electromancer s out, it gets WAY cheaper for 4 damage and 1 to everything the player controls. It certainly isn't the best option, though. I probably SHOULD drop the Chandra's for Dissipate, though.

I'd roll snapcaster if I had the money, but there's no way I'll be able to afford it.

cd122001, copies didn't trigger on-cast abilities in the past. That combo would only be 8 damage for 3 mana. Still great, but it isn't as strong, seeing as duplicates don't trigger on-cast abilities AFAIK.

If I had the money, I'd definitely run Snapcaster and Bonfire, but i'll have difficulty putting more than 80 bucks into a deck, and with either of those, that isn't going to happen.

i run a UR build and after playtesting numerous times I can assure you that cyclonic rift>unsummon. main reason-you can use it deal with numerous threats(artifacts, enchantments, PLANESWALKERS), and the overload isn't that big of a deal with an electromancer or two in play...
