I suggest replacing Guttersnipe with Young Pyromancer if removal is a problem for you. While Guttersnipe lets you close games out faster, Young Pyro creates blockers, threats, and leaves a board presence if it isn't answered immediately. Plus it's a mana cheaper. (which is actually a pretty big deal despite how it's tacked onto the end there.) That may seem unimpressive in comparison to making your Glacial Ray s deal 4 damage each, but when you already have other creatures dealing incremental damage and a finisher like Ire of Kaminari that can go over the top and win in one shot, something that can increase your longevity against aggro, create value against control, and be a threat in itself like Young Pyromancer is much better.

Young Pyromancer is more expensive than Guttersnipe and will likely push your deck to ~$15 without card optimization. Don't dismiss it for that reason, though, cuz I'm sure it'll perform a whole lot better than Guttersnipe in this deck.
