Red/Blue combo deck based on Guttersnipe. Lot's of creature removal and card draw and some disruption/counter spells. I have played this many times except that I do not have bonfire as of the moment but this deck really kicks out those aggro decks especially selesnya aggro. Feel free to comment on what to add and remove as well for the sideboards.

Really good now ;D I only think that u maybe should change Bonfire with another card... Something like Brimstone Volley or Pillar of flames
maybe i'll put those cards for sideboard instead against undying like zombie decks and some graveyard base decks.
1st..: Clone is only worth in the mainboard... ... ...Desperate Ravings is a shitty card, run Think Twice instead!.. ...use Pillar of Flame, rather than the Spear!.. ...you play 22 lands, no ramp, not much draw & you still run 4 Bonfire... ...pointless... ...2 is enough with a 4th Mortars... ...the Guildgate is useless... ...it enters tapped & Sulfur Falls enteres tapped on it too, if you draw only those two type of lands at the opening... ...1 more Mountain & 1 more Island would be better(still 15 lands that could add red & 15 that could add blue mana)...
Desperate ravings is good for me it lets u draw 2 cards at instant speed with flashback. Is tjere a ramp for izzet? Please indicate those cards. Pillar is good as sideboard for undying crits only. Bonfire i haven't tested yet if 4 is bad in a deck. Maybe ill add some keyrunes for ramp if that's what u meant. Plus add some lands as well as bonfire is an X spell.
don't run 4 bonfires... trust me on that. I have done it. If you want 2 in your starting hand go right ahead take a look at my deck at: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=406329
I will try to limit bonfire to 2 or 3 i have to playtest this first
Nice deck. I would drop some bonfires as well as above. In sideboard use rest in peace or tormod's crypt for zombies and graveyard hate. pillar of flames, flames of the firebrand, or devils' play would all be good additions.
I'll use magmaquake instead of flames. Ive been using this deck for a long time and i feel that bonfire is tje missing piece here
The only deck that needs shocks buddies and guildgates for a mana base is zombies who want a turn three messenger followed by a turn 4 Hellrider (trip black and double red out of 4 land) you have nowhere near that constraint also you asked about blue red ramp there is just the keyrune I believe well that and desperate ritual (or whatever it's called sac a creature add red red red to your mana pool) Bonfire is all right but they've kind of covered it http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=408250 My zombie deck
I'm with you on this build. I want it to be competitive badly, and I feel it could be...Thought at all of using Niv Mizzet? he's well suited to this deck and brings a nice threat to the board, maybe swap out bonfire for a solid counter...syncopate, or dissopate? Cool deck anyways :) Let me know what you think of mine: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=409689
- I added some extra lands - replaced bonfire with magmaquake - added more draw cards - added augur of bolas for library manipulation as well as early blocker
magmaquake is going to hurt you as much as your opponent unless you have a bunch of drakes out. i would drop it completely because you have already have 6 cards that can be used as field wipes. runechanters pike would be good since you have so many spells going off or hitting the graveyard, and delver is a great start since he is consistently going to be flipped in your deck. i would drop a snapcaster for another guttersnipe as well. nice deck, first time I've seen a guttersnipe deck like this one!
I agree with somerandomguy magmaquake is not the answer the ones I suggested before would be what you need. Nice deck good luck
Im thinking of dropping the snapcaster and instaed use elixir of immortality. Ill try adding flames of firebrand. Works really well even without snapcaster hehe.

If I might make a suggestion for Talrand, put in some Talrand's Invocation. Not only would you get the two drakes from Invocation, you will get a third as well from Talrand himself. I would also suggest using 4x Counterflux instead of Izzet Charm
ditch searing spear for lightning bolt :P
I just flat-out love "Guttersnipe" decks. I like this one too.
I like the fact you have alot of small converted mana cost cards in this deck that gets the job done!
Snapcaster definitely belongs here dont take him out...Maybe 3 snaps at the least. Definitely no magmaquakeor counterflux. Syncopate and dissipate are better. I highly recommend siding two negates against control, and brimstone volley might even become a finisher with snipes. Good luck!
Desolate Lighthouse is a often overlooked card when it comes to U/R decks, I suggest dropping in two for additional card draw.
Lightning Bolt in place of Searing Spear since it's strictly better. Magma quake needs to go since it kills your creatures which are your main win condition. Bonfire of the Damned is better then Magmaquake in my opinion for the fact it hits only your opponents creatures and also their life total. (Just make sure you draw your cards by looking at them before putting them into your hand for the miracle clause. I've been called on that before).
