How to Play

Just control the field while maintaining the option to go aggressive. The main idea though could be to rest with a Guttersnipe for a while and mow them down slowly. There are answers to many things in this deck.
If you want Artifact removal or Enchantment removal you'll have a hard time. Your best bet is Cyclonic Rifting them for a second while hoping to deal damage. You can always just supplement spells like "Vandalblast" or "Annul". Enchantments won't be going anywhere unless you do some real digging.
Those are the least of your concerns however. Once you have a Guttersnipe down or a Young Pyromancer you should be letting a few spells go.
If you have one of each you can have a real good time. If you manage to get more Guttersnipes, you can just be poorly mannered.
Once you have one out, every spell becomes your greatest ally. If you drop even a light spell such as Fleeting Distraction. You can do damage to opponents and even drop a 1/1. Free chump block or even some extra damage. Nivix Cyclops also can bring them down hard.
Using Snapcaster on something simple like a Lightning bolt can win a game almost. Gutshot is another card that I thought of placing in but am not too sure about sometimes. Good solid way to hurt, but just not the damage I require most of the time I find. You can start top-decking quickly, so be patient unless you're certain you can wipe them out.
A rule overlooked a lot is that if they counter one of your spells. The effects of your creatures such as Guttersnipe still resolve. Your spell can not be countered if it has not started to take place. Countering does not make the spell disappear, just renders it ineffective. Otherwise it would just remove the spell, If you use a lightning bolt and it is countered, Guttersnipe's abilities still are activated just like everything else.
