I'm trying to not use Lightning Bolt because it is rotating out soon so I'm trying to get used to playing without it.

I thought about it but it is only target creature gets +2 and comes into play tapped, I'm going for speed in this deck that's why I have Contested Warzone to give all creatures +1 and it can be used for mana or its ability when it hits the field.
I made some of the changes you suggested, how does it look now? Anything else you think would work better and how the sideboard. Its been years since I played red and am a little rudy.

Im running a similar deck with more pump and less creatures, 4 Glistener Elves, 4 Blight Mamba, and 4 Putrefax the rest is pump with 2 Barrio and 3 Livewire Lash opening hand want 1-2 forest a Blight Mamba or Glistener Elf and the rest pump I haven't gone past turn 4 yet. Hope this helps, ill post the deck list later for ya.
Throw in assault strobe to give kiln fiend double strike then hit hit with distorion strike to make him unblockable with double strike.
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=205501 There is my deck if you want to look at it.
Swiftfoot Boots to protect Lord of the Unreal or Phantasmal Image to copy him and your Illusions will all ways be Hexproof and +1/+1 and maybe throw in Grand Architect for another +1/+1. Just thoughts from my own Illusion deck that is working very well proxied.
That's a very good idea, I will add it in, any other suggestions? Maybe something for the sideboard?
My friend plays a similar deck and tops all the time. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head that he plays that helps in mid game is Tumble Magnet and Contagion Clasp. Vampire Bloodcrank: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=193753
Very interesting, but with a combo that extensive it will be next to impossible to get it off against a control deck or a full aggro deck. Here is my infinite mill combo deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=193753
I would take out the burst lightning and galvanic blast out and put in vampire nighthawks and vampire lacerators unless you want to keep really low mana cost then I would replace vampire night hawks for gatekeeper of malakir. here is my version of B loodcrank with a vampire twist. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=193753
I am in love with your decks and was wondering if you could help me with my combo deck. I have no idea what to sideboard for it or if i need to replace anything currently in it. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=193753
I like it, quite different from what I am playing but looks very good. Check out my Bloodcrank http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=193753
