A modern-legal burn, control, aggro deck.You can buy this at TCGPlayer for less than $30 if you take out the Islands / Mountains and replace the Steam Vents / Sulfur Falls with 4x Shivan Reefs and 2x Island / 2x Mountain.
EDIT: Blistercoils and Charmbreaker Devils removed for Thermo-Alchemist and Mana Leaks. Harness the Storm, though conditional, will remain, given its effectiveness in play-tests when combined with Izzet Charm's draw/discard option.Burn and bounce their creatures in key situations to give yourself a boost. Kiln Fiend / Blistercoil Weird give you early game aggro, Guttersnipe extra burn amplification and Talrand a swarm of tokens.Harness the Storm lets you double cast by midgame and will give you double-procs of all your triggered abilities, and Charmbreaker Devils will help you return spells for late game power.

24 lands is way too high for a deck like this. Your curve operates fine at 2 mana and hits full playability at 3 mana, so I wouldn't run more than 22 lands tops. 21 would be better as you will almost always get your third land by turn 3 and will be up and running.Harness the storm doesn't give you enough advantage in here and is conditional. I would swap it out for 4x electrolyze, which is basically the best edition to a burn/control deck ever as it can snipe off creatures or hit strait to life and always replaces itself.Blistercoil weird doesn't do much for you either. Its a turn 1 drop that keeps juicing itself, but that's not really how decks like this win games. You will get 2-3 damage off it if you drop one turn 1, but after about turn 3 they don't matter anymore. I would add in some more instants/sorceries as you are only running 16 now, which is low for a deck like this. Some counterspells like mana leak or remand would help much more as they retain card advantage and trigger your creatures.I would also give serious thought to running thermo-alchemist, who is basically the best win condition in a deck like this, plus he doubles as a blocker in the early game if you need him.

Thank you for the suggestions! It was actually really helpful. And I'm also glad that your advice was keeping with the under 30 bucks theme. Thermo alchemist is extremely affordable.
