Deck Description

Planning on re-vamping my Sacrifice deck to this burner. I've never played a burn deck before, but the recent release of Chandra Ablaze (which everyone loves to hate) inspired me. Here's my Madness Ablaze.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cinder Pyromancer is constant damage, and adds on to whatever burn spell I cast.
Sparkspitter both burns and enables discard.
Gathan Raiders (with Taste for Mayhem, of course,) deal heavy damage, are cheap, enable discard, and have a Hellbent ability. A lifesaver.
Reckless Wurm is a big boy with trample who can be discarded.
Fiery Temper is like a discardable Lightning Bolt.
Lightning Axe is what you save up Fiery Tempers for. Able to take down just about anything.
Searing Blaze is a triple-Shower of Sparks. I love it.
Red Elemental Blast is an old card that many people overlook. [R] to destroy ANYTHING blue?! Goodbye, Jace (or his pet Leviathan).
Burning Inquiry should not be used to enable discard. It is the early-game tactical nuke of a multiplayer game. See if your friends like their hands; if they don't, drop it and see how many enemies' combos you just wasted for a free mulligan.

Deck discussion for Lightning Dog

Cunning Sparkmages might be a decent alternative to the stingers. Same mana cost and they have haste, but no unearth.
I don't know of any good special lands for red aside from valakut and even that is a bit slow. There are two from zendikar block but they are creature based. Teetering peaks has +2/+0 when comes into play. Smoldering Spires has target creature can't block this turn... nothing too great.

Cinder Pyromancer untaps whenever you cast red spells and has the same function as Cunning Sparkmage and the Stingers. They are the same mana cost as well.
