Deck Description

Tried to take the popular MURDERGOATS archetype and turn it into a budget-viable version, so here's one where Akroan Horse is the only rare (costs a quarter) and Young Pyromancer is the only "expensive" card, although it looks like Guttersnipe is also a bit.

How to Play

Ramp through Barrage to Young Pyro to Guttersnipe. Use Shock/Lightning Strike to clear out small threats, then when you have 4 mana use Act/Barrage or 5 mana for Portent/Barrage to steal, attack with, and then remove their big threats. YP and Guttersnipe amplify the power of each Act/Portent, and give you the ability to get them down to the level where you can just sac everything for lethal.

Options:
-Magma Jet instead of Lightning Strike in game 1 to dig for major combo pieces
-Portent over Traitorous Instinct for the same reason, the Scry will help smooth your draws after you've gotten to the critical 5 mana level
-If you have the budget or want to make the deck better, I'd bet the deck would work incredibly if you did -1 Guttersnipe -2 Akroan Horse +3 Purphoros, God of the Forge

Sideboard is maybeboard, nothing set in stone yet:
-Dynacharge is a nice overrun finisher when you have a token swarm
-Skullcrack against Sphinx's Revelation or life gain decks
-Burning Earth for Esper Control
-Deck might not be able to handle 6 needed to overload Mizzium Mortars
