Guttersnipe Deck, any thoughts?
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on July 2, 2018, 8:31 p.m. by WolfBream
After seeing the core set 19 cards, I decided I want to make a mono red deck that will survive the rotation coming in the fall. The whole strategy behind this deck is to do increments of damage to my opponent's health through Viashino Pyromancer, Burn Spells, and Guttersnipe. Are there any thoughts/ suggestions?
Main:
Creatures (21):
4 Guttersnipe 4 Viashino Pyromancer 4 Ghitu Lavarunner 3 Dismissive Pyromancer 3 Fanatical Firebrand
Instants (12): 4 Wizard's Lightning 4 Shock 4 Lightning Strike
Enchantments (3):
Sorceries (3):
3 Mutiny
Land (21):
21 Mountain
Total: 60
Sideboard:
3 Smelt 2 Repeating Barrage 2 Fervent Strike 2 Reckless Rage 2 Warlord's Fury 1 Makeshift Munitions 3 Goblin Chainwhirler
Thanks in advance,
WolfBream

Hey, consider Izzet? Blue for Adeliz, the Cinder Wind, Opt, Negate and Essence Scatter? Chart a Course and Dive Down are other options.
Adeliz can give you another direction to win with Wizards. Like Guttersnipe her ability triggers with instants and sorceries. Opt is a very good spell with both Guttersnipe and Adeliz. Negate out of the sideboard can shore up control matchups. Scatter is just a very good creature counterspell.
For the next two months an Izzet manabase can be good with 4x Spirebluff Canal and 4x Sulfur Falls. Izzet is one of the guilds that's in Guilds of Ravnica. Most likely in the set there will be a good Izzet dual land to replace Spirebluff which is rotating out. This is good reason to invest in Izzet right now because it's going to have support in Guilds of Ravnica.

Before rotation hits Firebrand Archer would provide redundancy for guttersnipe and is great with The Flame of Keld. I'd also suggest considering Hungry Flames and Insult // Injury or if you can splash black Sovereign's Bite and swordpoint diplomacy.

Radiating Lightning is pretty good when you absolutely have sweep the board after flame of keld hits it's third stage.
