Deck Description

With both Young Pyromancer and Guttersnipe being available in standard right now I felt like making a spell-based deck. I felt some card draw was necessary and I REALLY wanted to splash black for Rakdos' Return so I ended up with a grixis deck. Advice is welcome

How to Play

Cast Young Pyromancer and/or Guttersnipe then cast spells, spells and more spells. Burn your opponent to death with Guttersnipe and burn spells, create lots of tokens then cast Massive Raid or Hellrider or (if nothing else works) hit them in the face with Ætherling or Consuming Aberration.

Deck discussion for Grixis spellcaster

i have a feeling you may be a bit creature heavy with what your trying to do as well as trying to do to many things at once.
The idea of using hellrider once you get tons of tokens is a wonderful idea however you seem spell light as well as you have spells that dont contribute towards that goal or if your goal is a control match with an aetherling beat to win you have hellrider. This overall seems messy as it is trying to do so much at once.
My suggestion is to go for the full batch of spears, dump the volly for a full batch of bonfires, a past in flames is good so you can get more value if you cant draw a hellrider. And I would also suggest a faithless looting or three to smooth out your draws. As it is the abberation and aetherling just dont contribute enough to make them worthwhile. Or if you go the full blown control route with a bomb then you need some negates, izzet charms, dimir charm is good at the moment because of jund's powerful sorceries etc.
Try to streamline this.

Thank you, I also removed two lands for spells. I don't think I can afford another 3 bonfires though.

yeah, i just noticed this is a budget list. This looks much better from only 8 minutes ago with more ways to just flood the field and then destroy peoples faces. Best of luck, shocks and bonfire are the cheapest they will be until rotation.
