I keep solitaring this and something feels off. Should I add guttersnipe? Take something out? I don't know how to make this better.

{Ral Zarek},{Counterflux}, and some other nice burn always helps. {Melek, Izzet paragon} and {Chandra, Pyromaster} is a nice synergy.

Is {quicken} simply here for card draw?

Mana curve is nice! :)

I playtested this with a few things added (forgot what I took out).

{Chandra Pyromaster} and {Pyromancer's Guantlet}

Because the gauntlet really is a great finisher, and Chandra brings up a nice synergy with it.

Chandra also provides the "card draw" which this deck could use.  But keep all the {Quicken}!  After playtesting, that turn 1 card draw is quite useful.

The Gauntlet uses up 1-2 spots and Chandra uses up 2-3

I updated the deck list. I added 4 {guttersnipe}, {snapcaster Mage}, and 3 {faithless looting}. I think those will help me get the cards I need. I want to add  {Ral Zarek} to the sideboard for control matchups. As it looks now, how does the mainboard look to you?

{Ral Zarek} seems good!  You do need that four drop to finish off that curve. :)

{Quicken} is there not only for the card draw, but to pump up the nivix cyclops and the guttersnipe. It can also make  {Armed // Dangerous} instant speed for the win with nivix cyclops.

I am not sure I want to add a 4 drop (main board) as this deck is kind of a strange cannon deck based off the woo brew. Everything needs to be cheap so that guttersnipe mans the cyclops can grind them down fast.

You make the deck in the deck builder and then you go to tools in the bottom corner and click "gathering". That will post the deck to this forum automatically.
