Going for a Guttersnipe burn deck. I previously had a counter burn deck which depended on lots of counter spells with the intent that each one becomes a shock once Guttersnipe is in play.

I wanted to speed it up and free up my mana and mind from having to focus so much on saving for counter spells. So I borrowed some black burn and creature destruction. The problem I found in play was that I didn't have enough threats on the board, so I was trying to figure that out a bit and came up with both a solution to people destroying my Guttersnipes and also putting more threats on the board, enter Isareth the Awakener. Not necessarily the best card around, but it is a wizard (triggering my Wizard's Lightning cost reduction) and if my creatures (all of which cost 3 CMC or less) are being taken out then I've got a low cost option of swinging in and bringing one back. It also gives me a better chance of bringing back dead Guttersnipes. Even if I swing in and lose Isareth the Awakener I'd gladly exchange that for a Guttersnipe or possibly even getting a second Guttersnipe into play.

Isareth the Awakener also works well with my Viashino Pyromancer by making them enter the battlefield a second time at cost - so I can swing away with them with reckless abandon, hoping to get them to ETB a second time.

Any thoughts?
