Syncopate is basically useless for you; you'll never have the mana to make it efficient. Dissipate is too slow.
I'd cut Devil's Play, Dissipate and Syncopate for 1 Pillar of Flame, 4 Thought Scour, 4 Brimstone Volley.
Vexing Devil is just bad, pretty much everywhere. Charmbreaker Devils is too expensive. Cut both, and add 3 Runechanter's Pike, and 4 Ash Zealot (since you don't have Snapcasters) or Augur of Bolas.
It's really not even about giving niche cards to black.
It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

the road your leading him down i no longer UR control just basicly agro. which if he is like me is not what he wants to do. i am doing the same thing with tryen to play control in this format. i feel like this deck list looks pretty strong. very similar to mine exspec i dont have the bonfires and the wayyy to expensive to buy lol.
anyway, im playen with 4 guttersnipe and some think twice for care draw.
and one thing you will deffently want to add is Dual lands 4 sulfur falls, and 4 steam vents.
GL with the control!

I'll probably drop the syncopates, up the dissipates to 4, then add two redirects. Also I was unaware of the price of Bonfire as I had never put any cash into running a good red deck haha. Also As arsinic said, I'm not interested in going that far towards aggro. I like the control I have with blue. I want to add a couple think twice also, but I'm not sure which cards to drop in it's place. Land: 12 x Mountain  12 x Island  Artifact: 2 x Runechanter’s Pike  Spells: 3 x Pillar of Flame  4 x Dissipate  2 x Redirect  3 x Magmaquake  3 x Izzet Charm  2 x Devil's Play  2 x Searing Spear  Creatures: 4 x Delver of Secrets  3 x Fog Bank  2 x Goblin Electromancer  3 x CharmBreaker Devils  3 x Gutter Snipe

If you push 4 Electromancers you can play Syncopate fairly effectively. Lets you put Pillar in SB in favor of maindeck Searing spear. Also the nonbasic lands above. Honestly I would drop fog banks + add cyclonic rift, swap magmaquake for a mix of Mizz mortars/electrickery in maindeck/SB. You should have enough answers that fog bank will pretty much be a dead card, not to mention it is super vulnerable to pretty much every removal printed in RTR. my2c

this is what i have been working on that is something along the same lines of control/agro i guess. been playing it out and does fairly good built it to be weenie rush agro and over the course of testing the control entered for protection. i had some spectral flight  s in it which helped but i took them out for either the syncopates or spears. i also had vexing devil  s for a direct 4 damage if not a 4/2 creature that usually got a spectral shield after confirming it stayed on the board and those were rotated for snapcasters. tried blistercoils but found while they provided a little surprise spike damage they werent consistant enough sustained damage without a fair amount of mana or cards in hand so they came out for the nivmagus. anywho here is my deck list. land2 x 0  4 x steam vents  4 x sulfur falls  4 x izzet guildgate  4 x evolving wilds  2 x mountain  2 x island  creatures1 x 6  4 x delver of secrets  4 x nivmagus elemental  4 x snapcaster mage  4 x gore-house chainwalker  spells2 x 4  4 x syncopate  4 x izzet charm  4 x searing spear  4 x cyclonic rift  4 x dynacharge  4 x uncanny speed  sideboard1 x 2  4 x dissipate  4 x counterflux  2 x pithing needle  2 x grafdigger's cage  i might take 2 rifts and 2 syncopates for 4x a 1 or 2 cmc creature and i need to choose some artifact removal for sideboard.

8. at the end of each game all players must finish their drink.

Any particular reason, the coming into play tapped seems like a fair trade for mana of either color.and i have had a few matches where i would have 3 of four islands or mountains and a steam vents without seeing evolving wilds
while i play tested mana numbers.what would you replace them with?
