Looking for more ways to make this deck even faster. I have a consistent win basis against most decks I come across.

You usually want at least 4 one drops in an aggro deck. It makes it so you get something out that first turn, so you can swing turn 2. When they might not have something.

1 drops would be nice, but at the moment, I don't have any 1 drop things other than Delver. Thought about {shock}, but I lose too much curve.
I don't typically have too much trouble with other decks that use 1 drops, the most common threats I face are all non-haste, so that still bides me time to do something about it. Usually my answer is a well placed Augur of izzet charm.
The young pyromancer's are an experiment.
I think you should reconsider leaving shock out. It kills most things at instant speed and is cheap, leaving mana open for a counter spell if they try shenanigans. It also adds a little bit of reach with the guttersnipe.
Probably 3 {Shock}. It's been a game-changer for me and with the gauntlet, it's four damage turn 1. Impressive, and possibly a win.

Shock sounds viable, but I'm unsure as to what to take out for it.
Also, not to criticize, but how do you get the gauntlet out turn 1? It is a 5 drop.
On a post-note, my LGS's meta isn't hyper aggro. We have some reanimate decks, a couple control, and only two aggro.
Right. And no matter what, {Elite Arcanist}. Just. Do. It.
And if you are going to put shock in, try adding some {Chandra, Pyromaster}?

I have one I already.

Good card but kills my flow. Plus, I wouldn't be able to keep him alive very long. Turning him into a body for them to shoot at. Sure, it wastes a kill spell, but ultimately, nets me very little. In this deck, anyway. I do plan to put him into one of my other decks I am building.

My fault, didn't see it in there.
Ever think of adding a few {Nivix Cyclops}?

I have. Gonna see if I can fit it in somewhere. Haven't had a ton of time to play test it out. My only experience with Nivix ended with it getting bombed on the moment it hit the field.
it happens. youre suppose to protect him.

As with any of a deck's big guy, or important key piece. I just need to get his role down-pat.
Anyway, going to let this thread die, unless anyone else wants to chime in on synergy, combo ideas, etc... Have to steer away from M13 now, so I could use some replacement cards as well. Like {unsummon} is replaced by the 2 drop version, {disperse}, and {searing spear} is replaced by {shock}.
{Fluxcharger} could possibly go well in here.
I did try him, but he didn't really fit the style for me.
Tested this deck at my last FNM, went 3-1, lost to a very well built American Control.
we splash white for feeling of dread, boros charm and geist. checkout travis woo izzet blitz deck
Tested this out using Nivix, I agree 100% whole-heart-edly that it should be in this deck.
