Deck Description

First off, I know that this deck isn't a top quality Tournament deck. I took it to FNM last week and took 5th out of 37, mainly out of surprise. I know that there are lots of ways to make it better and I'd like suggestions. I will update this deck as I get the cards but I wanted to get it up on MTGVault to get as much help as I can. Please give me suggestions, not just Likes and "this is a good deck" comments .

Chandra is in the deck to give an ability to dual cast spells while maybe getting to kill any annoying X/1 creatures. It is kind of awesome to dual cast an increasing confusion from the graveyard for over 10.

Electromancers are key to lower the costs of all instance and sorceries. Even more important if I get the Past in Flames off and need to recast a goblin rally or Survey the Wreckage.

Burn at the Stake is a Second round win condition. No one would see it coming (hopefully) and it works especially well with lots of goblin tokens.

Battle Hymn with lots of tokens leads to massive mana production and eventually huge Increasing Confusions.

Cards like Blustersquall, Chemisters's Trick, and Downsize are there to help lower the damage as the combo builds up.

I'm still deciding if Inspiration is better than Divination. I do like the instant speed of Inspiration, but the extra mana does pose a problem if I don't have any Electromancers out.

Oh, mana. Yes I know the Steam Vents are what I want, and I also need a play set of the Sulfur Springs, but they are a) expensive as all heck and b) hard to come by here in Poland. So far I'm looking for what I can get but they will be added in as I get them.

So again, please help as much as you can. If you suggest cards that should go in, please list something that should come out. I know there is a lot of filler cards at the moment, so don't be shy.

Cards I know I need to get in here:
Guttersnipe (at least 2)
Hypersonic Dragon (1 is all I need)
Thoughflare (2 in place of the Inspirations)
Sulfur Springs ( 4 of them for two mountains and two islands)
Steam Vents ( 4 for the same as the Sulfur springs)

Cards to consider:
Epic Experiment
Others?

Deck discussion for Izzet Goblin Graveblisters

Just from the first glance: I would have replaced Battle Hymn with Brightstone Ritual, since you have only goblins anyway and it's cheaper. Additionally, I would have replaced Explosive Impact with Thunderous Wrath. Same effect, but an option for Miracle.
Hope it helps.

Brightstone Ritual isn't standard so it can not be used, but if it was a casual deck he'd be running it.
