Deck discussion for Cataclysm

First, try to condense your deck to about 60 cards, burn decks are to run fast and are mean that way. Particulars I would suggest that
CREATURES: get rid of all except martyr of ashes and run full sets of vexing devil, grim lavamancer, and guttersnipe --> total of 16 creatures
SPELLS (instants and sorceries): get rid of all except brimstone volley, lightning bolt, and shcok, which you should run full sets of, then add a full set of lava spike, chain lightning (ideally if you can afford them), and molten influence --> total of 24 spells
PLANESWALKERS: you are running the wrong Chandra- Chandra the Firebrand you should run 2 of
LANDS: just 20 mountains would be good, if you have the money to make this deck even faster, consider either getting scalding tarn or Arid Mesa.
ARTIFACTS: drop the worldslayer, it really doesn't serve any purpose in a burn deck

Conclusion: try to make your spells primarily 1 or 2 drops to be able to burn quickly and relentlessly, creatures should also be low mana cost and help with your burn.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the direction you are wanting to build this deck? Looking at your creature setup it almost looked like you were wanting to make a theme of haste and buffing them up. If that's the case, completely ignore what I've written above and look into doing an elemental deck, which can be badass. I have yet to personally do one, but will have a rough draft deck posted of one soon

Here is my elemental deck to give you ideas of how I build decks:

I have a whole bunch of red cards, the only cards i have a full set of though is surging flame and stomping slabs. I was also wondering what kind of deck would you put high mana costs like shiven in. I really like Shiven and i would pain me to take him out of my deck same with both chandras.

Shiven I honestly believe works best only in a dragon deck, and the Chandras actually would work well in a less creature based burn deck, Nalaar is actually better than what I had remembered, and would run 2 of, and Ablaze I think is kinda a weak planeswalker and for 6 mana not really worth it IMO.

IRL i fixed my burn deck how ever i could not run full sets of many of the spells you told me have. Also I decided to make a dragon deck do you think you could take a look at it and give me some suggestions. http://www.mtgvault.com/stejskal/decks/dragons-lair/
