I have quite a soft spot for counterburn. With Guttersnipe back in standard, it's time to unleash the pain. This deck counters for days until setup to hit for massive damage after dealing some damage in previous turns.

Insult is a crucial card to explosively finish:

Guttersnipe + Insult = 6 damage (Including attack)

Insult + Lightning Strike = 6 damage

Enigma Drake + Insult = ?? damage

Cryptic Serpent + Insult = 12 damage

Guttersnipe + Insult // Injury = 14 damage to face, 4 to creature (Including attack)

Guttersnipe + Insult + Lightning Strike = 16 damage (!!!) (Including attack)

As you can see, Insult is a crazy powerful finisher, especially with Guttersnipe on the board and another spell.

I've had some 4 turn wins at FNM so far with this brew. With the right setup, this under $20 deck can race to the finish with the best of 'em.
