I played this before, obzedaddy and aurelia along with a few stormbreath. I just absolutely wrecked face with them.
That's in addition to what you have. I'd take out drinkers though, he's not bad, there's just better options

Drinkers? Assuming you're talking bout the dancer? If so...when combined with {gorgon's head} he makes any burn to the face a kill spell :)

Added {searing blood} to main and sided {lightning strike}...also completed side board

Tried making room for {stormbreath dragon} but not really seeing anything I can pull from main or side for him...stormbreath runs better vs control than {flame-wreathed Phoenix} but the Phoenix is better main and the sideboard seems to be working great...any thoughts?

I'd say -2 {Sire of Insanity}, possibly put him in SB?

-1 something else

+3 {Brimaz, Kitty King}

Also

-3 {Lightning Strike}
+3 {Mizzium Mortars} vs other Brimaz

I'd say drop {Gorgon's Head} move {Thoughtseize} to MB?

Dylan,

You're missing the synergy between gorgon's head and saytr firedancer. It's pretty good albeit weak to almost every black removal spell.

Works good with the reckoner as well

But with white you get so much lovely anti removal

I see it, but it doesn't seem like a competitive combo. T2 Firedancer, T3 Gorgon's head and equip, then t4 removal. Not responding to any play until t4 is pretty bad. I think it's a cool combo, but it doesn't seem like it's viable in a competitive meta

Firedancer isn't the deck...it's a burn deck...he's just a tool to keep my opponent busy while I'm burning :)

And the early turn doesn't need the head as the amount of burn would be enough to take out early plays

If it was me making this deck, I would make it USA colors. To me it would help you play more burn spells quickly and at a cheaper cost. Turn 1 scry, turn 2 {goblin electromancer} turn 3 fire dancer + a burn spell seems nice to me. Then go into turn 4 {warleader's helix} + another {lightning strike} or {magma jet} seems pretty alright to me

Hey sorry I got back to ya late, looking at the deck I definately see where you want to go with this. Now while looking at this I see a couple things I would chance.

For the sideboard: drop the gorgons head and toil & trouble, I completely see the combos of the gorgons head with the saytr and reckoner, but playing that is to slow and allows your opponent a chance to gain advantage on you. Then as far as toil and trouble the mana to me seems to intensive for what you gain out of it. Replacements I would do are -1 {gorgon's head} -1 {revoke existence} -2 toil//trouble.  And then replace with +2 {duress} and +2 {rakdos's return}

As far as main board I can't really argue against anything I play anger of the gods because pack rat... But other than that give those cards a shot!
