You don't replace {Goblin Guide} you only try to make do without him.

One does not simply replace {Goblin Guide}

Added spark trooper.

Don't agree. I would play Ajani over him. Or even Helix.

Updated it. The searing blaze is a placeholder for searing blood. Also, is {legion loyalist} or {grim lavamancer} better for this deck?

I would say the lavamancer.  How about fated conflagration from botg?

I will be siding a playset when it comes out.

Thundermaw raises your curve too much.

Replace {Searing Blaze} with {Searing Spear} and Thundermaw with {Chandra, Pyromaster}.

What is your average kill speed? Currently this looks like it will be easily outraced by combo and affinity, out-valued by jund, and straight up concede to {sphinx's revelation} decks.

4-6. I want it to be faster, so any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm probably going to get 4 {goblin guide pretty soon. 

To play a really fast burn deck, the goal should be to pack as many {lightning bolt} effects into one deck as possible. So {lava spike}, {bump in the night}, and {boros charm} are great for their high damage/mana ratio, and {skullcrack} helps with things like {kitchen finks}.

What do u think about replacing magma jet with the new {searing blood}?

I don't think this is a good idea- against decks that run a lot of x/3 or higher creatures, searing blood will be mostly useless, and it's also a terrible topdeck lategame, as searing blood doesn't damage a player unless a creature dies also.

I actually like blaze more than blood.

Why?

Because blaze  doesn't require you to kill a creature before any damage is dealt to its controller.

Totally agree

Added reforge the soul

I've been doing a lot of play testing Ian's I feel that this is pretty solid.

i personally don't like that card. i'd say run more burn spells instead.

Filling my hand up with more burns is really important.

No it isn't.  If you don't have a hand that can deal 17-21 damage without help, mulligan.

So... Sideboard help is needed. I was thinking:
4 {Leyline of Punishment}
3 {surgical extraction}
3 {blood moon}
3 {skullcrack}
2 {torpor orb}

All up to date. Added {satyr firedancer} to the sideboard for field control.
