I know this deck has a lot of risk involved with it. But in teating everything has gone pretty well. When I win i just rub through the opposition. When I lose its usually pretty close. What would you change? Like i said i dont mind that the deck plays with a bit of risk. Also please sont suggest Guttersnipe in my experience its too slow for the deck. I did consider Lightning Mauler .

In trying to keep as close to the deck you have as possible, I think I do like Lightning Mauler in this deck. With him on the field your opponent doesn't really have much of a chance to deal with Vexing Devil turning him into a 4dmg Lightning Bolt almost every time either against a creature or their face, they just get to pick which. It also serves later turn Rakdos Cackler s well as you will probably being dropping them, unleashing, swinging, and then dropping some other additional burn. What I would recommend is dropping a single Thunderous Wrath as its your most expensive spell and you would rather draw one than see it in your opening hand and drop 1 Reverberate . Most of your spells will be cheap enough that you can use the Reverberate whenever you need it (lol @ the though of Reverberate ing a miracled Thunderous Wrath ) but in most cases you are going to need at least 4-5 mana to use it and this deck looks like it wants to be winning on turn 4 or 5 regardless of how much mana you actually have. Of course test first but that's how I would do it if I were doing it.
-1 Reverberate -1 Thunderous Wrath +2 Lightning Mauler

can you make this a deck or link to one so we can playtest with it to find the issues?

@alphagprime I would use Lightning Bolt but its getting rotated sadly. I do like your suggestions though and Lightning Mauler may be more useful for sure. Is the almost guranteed 1 damage from Goblin Arsonist more important than Rakdos Cackler cuz if rakdos gets out after blockers are up he won't do anything?
@cartwheelnurd I will make the deck and link it so we can play test.
I play tested a bit last night, but it was all against modern decks. So the results completely varied.
It's totally lolz when you Reverberate a lot of the spells. Thunderous Wrath for sure. But I've had this scenario too. Vexing Devil Opponent eats it for 4 Brimstone Volley reverb'd for 10 lolz Same thing goes for counter spells and token spells lol.

Oh and the only replacement I could see for Lightning Bolt would be Bump in the Night but I can't figure out how to add it without killing consistency.
