This deck still needs some work. I brought it to a casual at my local store and got smashed by standard re-animator. Any suggestions are deemed helpful. Please do not tell me to put Delver in the deck. I've debated it already and decided against it. Name changed. Thanks!

Have you tried Arcane Melee in the deck? Its costly but on the upside, your gameplan is just to cast as much as you can and get benefits from Guttersnipe . I run it in my burning vengeance deck and its a complete blowout once it hits the table. Mind you i stockpile all my spells in the graveyard. It might work here if the deck was all about fuelling guttersnipe with draw spells...

Unfortunately, it is too costly and decreases the likelihood of a successful Epic Experiment so I cannot make room for Arcane Melee

Just tried making my own version of a Guttersnipe deck. Sure enough Arcane Melee doesn't make the cut due to the mana cost, but a single Goblin Electromancer just makes a lot of things so much easier. 2 mana for 2 cards with Divination is pretty good. Plus adding a Curiosity -esque effect to Guttersnipe just makes him so much more dangerous. While he deals damage he also fuels himself. It might not seem like much at first but he just makes the deck so much more consistent plus you never lose the advantage with everything in your hand

You definitely need more than 20 land. Maybe lose blood artist. How much use has it been to you?

Blood Artist is a viable chump with the lifegain and loss when I eliminate creatures he does his job. More than 20 lands? When nothing costs more than 4 to cast with the exception of X spells. Divination , Think Twice , and Goblin Electromancer were all weeded out in the early stages of the deck for being more of a nuisance than any help at all. But thanks for the suggestions as a may be revisiting Goblin Electromancer .

I was just thinking, with it being 3 colors and having no draw spells, you'd need more land to get the mana right and get the most out f that x on Epic Experiment . Check my guttersnipe deck ... Izzet Heat: The Steam Machine it splashes green for Quirion Dryad she's pretty difficult to deal with if left unchecked.

O and +1 from me :-)

have you looked at the deathwright shaman? i think that card has some potential with your deck you can exile the spells that dont have flash back to keep pinging them for 2 damage lol iuno i just think its a niffty little creature card.

It's not an instant or sorcery, but Curiosity works wonders with Guttersnipe .

drop Goblin Electromancer for Delver of Secrets  Flip . Most spells you have cost 1 anyway.
