Are there cards with effects similar to Guttersnipe , Chandra's Phoenix , or Young Pyromancer that make them well suited for a spell heavy black/red deck ?
I understand the answers to this will be more opinionated than factual, however suggestions/opinions alone will provide me with a great deal of information, given how little I know.
I feel my main issue right now is my creatures, I am really unsure what to do:

Standard for the most part, the community i play with does not follow many "illegal card" rules, it is anarchy, but its really enjoyable / carefree. And yes, it has to be black/red, i majorly lack whites.

If it's more of a casual environment vs straight standard, Kiln Fiend does this job quite well. Burn kill & attack away.

I would argue that Vexing Devil is a must add for any burn deck. But this isn't an answer to your question, I would go with Young Pyromancer and some form of "creatures you control have haste' or a sac outlet likeBarrage of Expendables .

I would agree that Vexing Devil is great but Nivix Cyclops is a great finisher or compliment to spell heavy decks.

Kiln Fiend is just better than Nivix Cyclops IMO. He's not too worried about standard, so who cares.

Since I assume you aren't going Standard, because of your cards in the deck (though it's marked as Standard), there are burn-dorks such as Goblin Fireslinger that are pretty cool. There's also Purphoros, God of the Forge .

Vexing Devil has been on my wishlist but at around $6 a piece the price hurts. I thought Purphoros, God of the Forge was Theros? I have never seen a Kiln Fiend before, sweet card! Thanks for the advice guys. Do any of you know, off the top of your head, solid support Vampire cards, ex: all vampires gain +x/+x and get protection from red, or something along those lines ? This question is not for this deck in particular, but I will build a second deck and I already have a large amount of vampires. I will most likely be replacing the ones in this deck for ones more focused on the playstyle.

They are creature cards for the most part. Like Bloodline Keeper Flip and Stromkirk Captain . Baron Sengir has a fun one also. But innistrad has the most, check them out and don't forget Door of Destinies

In regards to the vampire deck, might try looking at Necropolis Regent for some later game beatdown.

Does it have to be R/B? A lot of Izzet cards benefit from burn spells. Also is this a standard deck?
