Spells- 25

x3 Pillar of Flame
x3 Index
x3 Electrickery
x3 Thought Scour
x3 Searing Spear
x3 Think Twice
x3 Mizzium Mortars
x2 Divination
x2 Brimstone Volley

Lands-21

x1 Cavern of Souls

x9 Islands
x8 Mountains

Sideboard-15

x3 Blustersquall
x2 Vandalblast
x3 Unsummon
x2 Izzet Charm
x3 Negate
x2 Traitorous Instinct

Game Plan:

Deck basically works off of synergy between Delver of Secrets , Goblin Electromancer and Guttersnipe . Once you have all three of them in play you just aggro burn them to death.

Things I Like About This Deck:

Drawing two cards off of Divination for 2 mana and even 1 some games. Also i love the fact that with a Goblin Electromancer and a Guttersnipe in play it only cost 3 mana to do 9 damage with Pillar of Flame and Searing Spear


Hope you all like the deck. please leave your comments and feel free to try it out it is tons of fun to play

All of your creatures are really fragile; I'd reccomend trying to fit some countermagic in there.  Electrickery seems like strict sideboard material unless your meta is full of lingering souls decks.  Otherwise the only relevant creatures it kills that I can think of are gravecrawler, lotleth troll, and aristocrat all of which have ways around it.  Index seems meh.  I know it flips delver, but the chances of you having a keepable hand with a Indexand a Delver where the Index actually helps you flip the Delver seem extremely slim.  Thoughtscour also seems meh in a deck that isn't aiming to abuse the graveyard or runechanter's pike.  

I'd probably do the following:

-3 Index
-3 Electrickery  
+3 Negate
+1 Pillar of Flame
+1 Searing Spear
+1 Brimstone Volley

If you want to keep the thought scour's I'd probably replace the dragons with runechanter's pikes and the divinations with faithless looting, otherwise I'd probably swap them for main-deck izzet charms.  Also consider [c]Talrand's Invocation]/c].  It's a spell so it synergizes with all your dudes  plus gives you 4 power in the sky which isn't bad.

I would take out Hypersonic dragon for Talrand, Sky summoner. He's GOOD. Real good.

Index is just such a powerhouse.  It makes sure you hit all your land drops, it lets you find exactly the spells you need when you need them, and it only costs 1 mana.  You should be running it as a 4 of.

It was revealed to me in a dream.  All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.

FULL DISCLOSURE:  The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold.  I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.

EDIT: I just remembered.  The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.

EDIT2:  Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this.  My opponents have been very angry.  I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch.  Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.

EDIT3: Streak broken.  Lost to an unexpected Overrun.    Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

I don't have a whole lot to say about your deck but in specific, you might want to look for space for Izzet Charm . Other than that, I've been looking at different variations of this deck.

My friend's version is pretty cool. It runs the charms and a few Dissipate to trump the bigger spells or removal. Lastly he splashed black because he's a bit more of a stall deck with all of the counters and runs Rakdos's Return as the blowout on turn 5. 4 damage and discard 4 cards is super relevant even if they only have 2 cards in hand. Not to mention extra damage from Guttersnipe .

I run a similar build to this, but instead of delver I use nivmagus elemental this guy synergizes so well in this deck  also charmbreaker devils are kinda cool too.
