I originally put this together for the "under $50" challenge, but I've made a few swaps to make it a little more competitive!

The idea is pretty much to arm Invisible Stalker and/or a flipped Delver of Secrets   to the teeth while burning down their creatures or hitting for direct damage.

  • Charmbreaker Devils for a relentless stream of burn and draw spells. I was always down on these fellas but they are killers in this deck. I like them better than I would Inferno Titan I think.

  • Delver of Secrets   for a 1-drop potential 3/2 flyer on 2nd turn...

  • Invisible Stalker for the unblockable goodness.

  • Signal Pest to ramp up the damage even more and to be another cheap artifact for metalcraft!

  • Ponder is here to speed things up and get the right cards on top of my deck for the Delver. (Thanks BaneoftheSith!)

  • Shock because well, it's Shock. Clear out an early blocker or just speed up the damage.

  • Galvanic Blast because it's Shock, plus with 1/4 of the deck being artifacts it's pretty easy to get up to 4 for only one red.

  • Desperate Ravings for even more card draw. People have told me that Think Twice would be better here.

  • Accorder's Shield for the 0 cost artifact, plus 0/+3 and vigilance for 3 is pretty nice. Gives me a bit of defense in an offensive assault.

  • Silver-Inlaid Dagger for the sweet sweet damage.

  • Trepanation Blade because I don't have any other swords? This has potential to do more damage than the other swords anyways and Invisible Stalker doesn't need protection.

Opinions? :)

Added Devil's Play — Dec. 12, 2011
Edit

Decided to turn 1x Shock and 1x Island into 2x Devil's Play for a bigger burn spell that also has flashback!

Also took out the Frost Titan for another Charmbreaker Devils and took out the Adaptive Automatonfoils for Signal Pests!
