i dont think the spikeshot elder is going to help you in this deck since you dont have equipment to attach to him and raise the damage of the ability. And if you want faster spells throw in a couple burst ligthning. I understand how act of treason is a good tactical card but if your using it for creature heavy decks i think you should drop it and pick up chain reaction.
Hope this helps come take a look at my burn deck and let me know what you think of it.

alright i like where your coming from on the comet storm and reverberate. Its good stuff, but i think you need some faster spells. (of course this is my opinion) i would throw in some galvanic blast since it has metal craft and you have artifacts to make it work, and burst lightning, flame slash, and arc trail is at the top of my list for this deck.
Come check my burn deck out and share your thought!

i see where your coming from on how they slim your deck down and i think ill give it a try with proxies since im still not sold on the whole come into play tapped thing

Elder Mastery

comet storm over fireball all day long

i agree with LightningRing in that you have a lot of creatures that are taking up your spell space. Adding another koth and reverberate would be nice so you dont only have one and it will increase your chances of pulling. Replace the Prodigal Pyromancer with Cunning Sparkmage since he has haste.

This is a great burn deck and i like the number of 1 drops in it. Only thing i can really say that might come to mind is Burst Lightning and Pyromancer Ascension for a free reverberate
Take a look at my deck if you don't mind: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=138509

well the thing is why have one of those two sac/fetch lands that gives you a land into play tapped when you can simply have the same chances of drawing a basic land that comes into play untapped and ready to use

im gonna say this deck is more of a prison type deck rather than a control; only because this would shutdown someone after those enchantments come out

i use the mountains to trigger the valakuts so i need them i would consider them if i had something with landfall though

Mana leak or Cancel, negate/Spell Pierce, Burst lightning, lightning bolt, Kederekt Creeper, cruel ultimatum, Liliana specter, Liliana curass, and Hypnotic Specter are all cards that might be of use in this deck. and the Scarland Thrinax is the wrong colors for this deck. also if you wanted to get the terramorphic expanse out of your deck you could always use put in the Grixis Panorama. Hope this helps, most of those cards listed are pretty cheap.

if you want to use cultivate to hurt the opponent with the mountains coming into play you should use harrow. bring 2 untaped mountains in and its an instant

i like pyroclasm but it would kill my kiln fiend which can get pretty big when you start a nice stack of spells and its a sorcery. other than that though i thank its a solid card. thanks for the comments guys!

would be a great card but unfortunately its not standard

the cop red isnt in standard anymore so all i have to worry about is the protection from red and brave the elements type cards. and in that case deal face damage to the player fast

I like arc trail but its a sorcery. i prefer instants i put in 4 burst lightning instead. and i like elemental appeal when you have a reverberate or two in your hand

thins one looks good but i think im gonna have to disagree with the fetch lands in this deck since there is nothing that has a landfall ability in it and theres no point in losing life if you dont have to

Well looks solid and i love Draco although it would be awesome to see Tek in here as well as all the dragons that were in invasion

you told me to come and take a look. i like how fast this deck is, great list of spells too. love chain lightning

i actually messed up by putting 22 i forgot to put in the elemental appeal. Thanks for catching that.
