So this deck is performing nicely I love its ability to swing hard and fast pretty early. In the game. This week I definitely ran into some close calls and overall went 2-1 for the day.
Round 1 1-2 U/W GPG was rough I won the first match easily but once the side board hit it was like beating my head on a brick wall. Seal aways, cast outs, bindings, a couple counters, settle the wreckage the list goes on and on. This match up specifically is what pushed me towards running Tilonalli's Summoner. Game 3 I have him down to 3 life and he finally reviled a GPG which led to my death.
Round 2 2-1 U/B Artifact mid range. My shop meta had been pretty stable to this came out of left field. These games were very back and forth but once I was able to resolve and protect a couple Combat Celebrants and Mirage Mirrors I was able to secure the games in a pretty epic fashion.
Round 3 2-1 Gruul Elves this was a crazy match up! I really had thought I was going to get rofl stomped by this Playlist this guy was packing being able to push Steel leaf Champions really worked out in my favor. My loss in this match up come from a sideboard Glory Bringer and game 3 came down to Combat Celebrants and 7 elementals swinging twice in a turn.
Overall this deck was a blast and I adore this creation. Next week will have some changes and I'm seriously considering Ovalchase Dragsters if I can find them.

this decks looks pretty cool, u should put in helm of the host so you can have infinite combats and swing with your 1/1 (every infinite combat) that cant be blocked and kill them.lol

While I do think Helm of the Host would be awesome I also think it is entirely too slow for this deck. I am looking into Forebear's Blade as it keeps certain creatures within that "can't be blocked" zone and if it does die to removal I just get to put it on something new for free.

Buddy of mine used Tilonalli's Summoner to rush a bunch of unblockable attackers in.

Yeah I was definitely thinking of taking the wildfires out of main board to run the Tilonalli's Summoner main board. That way if I don't have combat tricks up my sleeve I can get in for extra damage and possibly keep the tokens depending on board state.

Sweet deck! If you don't mind me asking, why are you playing Wildfire Eternal? It seems ok to me, but how good is it during actual games? For suggestions, I agree with jellowsmurf that Tilonalli's Summoner would actually be super sweet in the deck. Also, I would possibly consider adding in some Kitesail Freebooters somewhere in the 75. I do really like Squee, the Immortal in here. I feel like that card is going to be great in some sort of deck in standard. +1!

how do you deal with Goblin Chainwhirler and the RB aggro deck that is running around atm?

The Chainwhirler only hits a couple cards out of this Playlist so it isn't too much of a concern worst case scenario they cast it something if mine dies and then I get to push it for 1 mana due to revolt trigger. This coming weekend will be the full on test of the deck. Hopefully I'll face about 4-5 different deck types. The meta is so diverse right now it's hard to know exactly what I'll face.
