This budget casual or vintage deck lets you cycle through your deck until you pull the answers you need. Pyromancer's Ascension will be your win condition and protecting it is critical. Powerful and cheap countermagic in the form of Circular Logic and Rune Snag will let you do so while keeping your opponent's board under control. Kindle and Fiery Temper are also in the deck to handle problematic creatures and once you have one or more Pyromancer's Ascensions online, they will become your win condition. Furthermore, frantic search will give you outrageous amounts of mana coupled with Pyromancer's Ascension and Izzet Boilerworks while letting you see tons of cards and getting cheap madness triggers. With this, you should be able to get a game-winning combo off in just one turn. However, just in case that could only happen in the late game, their is one copy of Past in Flames in the deck.

I still haven't decided on a side board. It will probably have one more copy of Pyromancer's Ascension and 3 copies of Past in Flames alongside some other control magic.
