So? Even red has efficient ways to deal with a strategy like this. The point is it's supposed to be so fast that a 4 mana answer like Day of Judgement will probably be too late.

Memoricide does a pretty good job of solving every problem ever.
Reverberate's a cool choice, and let me tell you why. For a measly 2 mana, it's a copy of any spell you need it to be. Pretty cool, right? You know why it's awesome? You an use it to Cancel somebody else's Cancel, Mana Leak somebody else's Mana Leak, and double your pleasure to double your fun with burn spells like Chandra's Outrage and Flame Slash. On the creature front, your team looks fine except for the Magma Phoenix. One, when it dies it will shoot everything you have that isn't a leveled up Lord of Shatterskull Pass. Two, you're running three of them, and they cost a lot of mana to maintain. I'd be willing to suggest stripping them out for 2 Kuldotha Firebird and some cheap equipment to activate the metalcraft, but neither strategy really fits into a UR burn deck. Instead, just take out the phoenixes and add in something that will synergize with both Kiln Fiend and Chandra's Spitfire, and not kill them. I know it's a lot, but I think 7 mana is really cheap for Sphinx-Bone Wand in a deck that runs at least one Time Reversal. In addition, I'd suggest some Preordain and a couple Elixir of Immortality to keep your library fresh. The elixirs will propel you into the late game if you need to survive an onslaught, and the Preordains will help you sort through those cards. I hope this helps ;)
Do you have some way of achieving metalcraft for Galvanic Blast? Consider Panic Spellbomb also for its draw and evasion capabilities for Ball Lightning.
As fun as planeswalkers can be, they're often dead cards in red decks. Unless they're Koth. I can't wait 5 turns to drop my threats in mono red, it's as bad as playing a mono red dragon deck. I instead opted for the more reusable and versatile pinging option. Having 4 bullet hoses to supplement my arsenal of 12 burn spells makes for a faster burning strategy than relying on Chandra as a key play.
It could use more nonbasic lands. I heartily suggest copies of Arid Mesa for mana fixing, and if you can manage, possibly a copy of Boros Garrison or two. I learned not to rely on Myr for mana acceleration due to the popularity of burn and their overwhelming fragility. Hope this helps :)
I might suggest copies of Arcane Sanctum for smoother mana. Also, if you're going for a white weenie creature approach, Honor of the Pure might be worth considering. I would also replace the Glacial Fortresses with Celestial Colonnade, for when you run low on control spells and have lots of spare mana.
I like seeing decks that are UR that don't rely on Pyromancer Ascension. What do you think of including Redirect/Reverberate?
If you really want to protect her, you can use Asceticism to make all of your creatures gain trollshroud, and you'll be able to regenerate her. Another alternative, already mentioned, is the Whispersilk Cloak; having an unblockable Phage can be handy.
If you're going to make it dedicated mill/discard and really take advantage of Liliana's Caress, look no further than Reckless Scholar. It's proved itself time and time again in my buddy's blue black mill.
This sounds brutal, but I'm not seeing Sleep. Sleep might help you get those pesky permanents your opponents control tapped.
Also, cards like Call To Mind and Time Reversal really make virtually any UR spell based deck shine. If you already have an ascension online, you get double the spells back with Call To Mind.
May I suggest Steady Progress? With multiple Pyromancer Ascensions, the proliferation and the boosted card draw is pretty amazing.
Hive Mind is a great multiplayer card when used correctly. Breath of Malfegor is the correct way to use it when you have a Runed Halo out that gives you protection from it >:-D
I like the design. I was always wondering how much face it would smash to combine something silly like spawns with something crazy like the Coat of Arms. Also might want to consider Door of Destinies for an Eldrazi Tribal deck. It can make a Skittering Invasion produce a bunch of 1/2s if that's the first spell you cast.
Congratulations on posting 99 decks. I'm new to the forum so unfortunately I'm not that familiar with your construction. On another note: My favorite card is Chandra's Spitfire. I have some real love for cards in the uncommon slot; more often than not they carry my games for me, and Red being my hallmark color, I have to pick one of the most powerful red cards I've ever used, and that's Chandra's Spitfire. It's capacity to tear players apart in tandem with pingers is unrivaled, and while it may not be Kiln Fiend, it tends to last longer while flowing better in mono red, and lets me win those stalemate games. As for questions. . . do you play paper magic, or magic online, and which faction are you going to choose for Mirrodin Besieged and why?
You should splash some black for Royal Assassin. He definitely gets the job done in a scenario like this.
What, no Enormous Baloth? Its flavor text is golden.
This was the first deck I ever purchased. The only cards I still use in my contemporary burn deck are Lightning Bolt and Mountain.
I have my own take on the Jund that I recently posted. It varies quite a bit from the deck that ruled Standard the last two years. While I do own 3 copies of Hellkite Overlord, I couldn't justify putting him into my deck because his safety switch, regeneration, is completely irrelevant in a format that includes both Terminate and Path to Exile. Sadly, that beautiful dragon is binder fodder. Here, I like what you've done with the mana curve; it looks very castable. The only thing you're missing that I notice is some kind of inclusion of Jund Hackblade and/or Demonic Dread, which is great at filtering out that Terminate when you really need it.
