Deck discussion for Burn

I feel like Dragon's Claw is unnecessary, since if your burn deck works as quickly as it should, you won't need the life gain. Remember, that as long as your opponent's life is at 0, it doesn't matter how much you have left.
Claws of Valakut is nice if your opponent controls creatures. Basically, you eat them alive and clear the field. Very nice card, I must say.
Ancient Hellkite's ability is nice, but it's an expensive card to cast. Same with Chandra's Spitfire. But your cards cast all too high. I like the Lightening Bolt in your deck, because it's cheap and effective. There are many cards like LB in the newer sets that do two damage for 1 red, and even more if you control artifacts. You could devour your opponent with one-cost, 2-burn cards easily. Chandra Ablaze's ability is poor because, with burn, why would you want to discard cards? If you have low-casting cards like LB, lava spike, shock, even flame javelin, you would be able to do more damage with those cards you're discarding than you could do with the cards themselves. Sure, she allows you to play them from your graveyard, but it takes a while to get there. Why not just play them and win on turn 5?

My burn deck has won on turn 5 on various different occasions, even against a similar burn deck. Give it a look-see and see what you can pull from it. The key to burn is quick cast and as much damage as you can dish out in as little time possible.
