Thanks for the reply it was very helpful. I was trying to make a burn deck but how I have been thinking about and playing it, it is definitely more of a control deck, thanks again for pointing this out.
I know I need the non basic lands and I want them but at $9+ a pop and needing a lot they are a little out of my budget right now.
The deck definitely needs more drawing power but Think Twice and Augur of Bolas are on their way out and with how often I actually fit FNM in my schedule and with class starting soon I would not get enough play out of them. Are there any alternatives? I have been looking but I have yet to find any.
I like the idea of putting more Mizzium Mortars in but wouldn't that disrupt my mana curve? They are 6 mana a piece to play and the other sweeps are even more expensive. That is way I had the Bluster Squalls in. Yes they do not remove the creatures but they give me another turn.
AEthering is a tempting card. I have been considering putting it in but is he really that much better than Niv-Mizzet? It has a lot of potential to do direct damage to the opponent but Niv-Mizzet gives me a draw for every UR mana I have left at the end of my opponent's turn. My goal with this deck is to defeat my opponent with direct damage spells that is why I have cards like guttersnipe in. I know he is not as great as he seems because people tend to destroy him almost instantaneously but the same would happen with AEthering, as soon as I flip toughness over to power they would cast an instant to destroy him.
Thanks again for your help, you have definitely gave me a lot to think about.
