Ur Devotion?

Is it plausible?
I've been throwing around the idea of trying to whip it up.
The red splash would give some great cards:
Purphoros, God of the Forge + Master of Waves has probably already been noted enough
Stormbreath Dragon shuts down RW. and Hurts control.
Skullcrack No rev life for you, or Helix gain
Mizzium Mortars for Kruphix, Baron, anything annoying really besides Polu
Fanatic of Mogis could possibly be useful
Counterflux would single handed give this deck the edge in the control match ups.
Magma Jet for aggo, and scry is awesome
Turn / Burn Kills everything, especially Gods and Demons
Have been testing on Cocka, but still in the development stages. Especially in the 1/2 drops place. And to keep true to the heavy creature base, or more instants for Spellheart Chimera
I 100% say go for it. As an avid brewer of decks deemed "not good" to points of fringe competitiveness, I will say that nothing is more enjoyable than proving someone wrong. A lot of what you've got here could be very useful, as you've mentioned. Just keep in mind that you'll absolutely want more Blue permanents for Master of Waves . Frostburn Weird feels obvious here. Then, perhaps, Nivmagus Elemental ? Chandra's Phoenix also seems like an obvious in given all your burn.

this is the list I have so far. And after playtesting a bit more I will mold it as it evolves.The split between chandra and ral zarek is honestly just testing the waters.
When Ral and Nykthos are on the field, things get crazy.
Especially when Weirds are out and a Fanatic of Mogis slams down.
Deck has explosive power, but still in the development stages.

also worth mentioning are Ral Zarek , Lightning Strike , Young Pyromancer and even Nivmagus Elemental
i believe the UR devotion touching into red would help in the control mirror and grant the deck reach.
Maybe right now its iffy, but once Nyx comes out I believe UR will be a deck to watch out for. Whether its UR devotion, Control or even America Control.
