14lands? I can see like 17 maybe but not 14
Actually, all the top finishing lists are running around 14 lands. That's still about 1 in 4 cards, and you are running 12 1 or no mana cantrips, so it works out quite well.

Well there are only two cards in the deck that need more than one mana

That's actually insane!! Justifiable 14 lands!!!! Sorry just saying!

(Also I would rather have 18 but hey if 14 works that's awesome!)

Just a question  {Mutagenic Growth}? Because it's free?

Thinking it could be sick to attack with something flash in snappy and cast again.

The two big problems I have it with it:
A) There isn't anything I would want to take out for it
B) It's painful, and the decks takes a lot of damage as it is between fetches, shocks, GProbes...

It might be worth testing though, possibly take out the {Pillar of Flame}s for it.

I've seen it as a SB card for the mirror

Lava spike seems really, really bad. As does 4 pillar. Needs counterspells like {mana leak} and {remand}

It's another set of  {Lightning Bolt}'s. Best burn spell.

Another set of bolts... That's doesn't hit a creature... Can't hit delver, Pyromancer, swiftspear, or anything you care about. It's isn't worth the 4 slots in your deck to help win the race.

It does three damage without adding to the board, fills the graveyard for {Treasure Cruise} and the high number of burn spells allows you to end the game extremely quickly. This list has top 8'ed a high level event, so I am going to go with their expertise.

This isn't really UR Delver this is more Burn splashing {U}

And to be fair it looks really sweet!
