Deck discussion for Red Cannon Fire

The reason I made this deck unloved is because I need some opinions really quick. I play tested this deck and it did fantastic, first game hit 15 direct damage by turn 4 and 5 more on turn 5 for the win. the other games similar effects, 6 damage dealt with goblin guide by turn 3 and 10 on turn 3 with the last 5 coming in the next turn or 2. But the overall problem so far as been I feel I've been drawing too much land, 4 lands is the max I ever want to have out then drawing land becomes a dead draw because I need spells more. Should I remove 2 land and put 2 faithless looting in? or another variation of this? keep the land base the same? Any opinions on this? Also I will be getting a third goblin guide in the near future and foundry street denizen will be switched out then. Sideboard is under construction and thought right now, will get it ready here soon. I plan to use this at my shops modern tournaments, it seems very effective so far, just maybe needs a little fine tuning.

eh surging flame doesnt really go with this, the ripple most likely wont hit another one and then thats only 4 damage for 2 mana. I can reverberate it for better results but I was thinking something like faithless looting might help me more. Do you think I should lower the amount of lands I have or are there a solid amount? obviously I dont need more, 2 mana is my most expensive spell in this deck after a few lands drawing more is a dead draw for me

Add Fireblast if you are having too many lands, every game. You sac two lands and do 4 damage to you opponent.

So, something like this:

1st turn. Vexing Devil.
2nd turn. Perilous Myr. Attack with Devil. 4 damage.
3rd turn. Play Shrapnel Blast on Myr for 7 damage.. Then Play Lighting Bolt for 3 damage. Then sac the two tapped lands and play Fireblast doing 4 more damage. So, you just used two lands to do damage 14 damage. Your opponent is down to 2 life.

Also, if you are running into too many lands, add Browbeat. For that extra mana that you have, you get to draw cards!! Next turn you have 3 cards in your hand to reek havoc on your opponent.

And 20 lands is solid. Wouldn't take it much lower.

I didnt plan on putting vexing devil in here, I think goblin guide fits better, but Browbeat and fireblast are great considerations, unfortunately they are not modern legal and this deck is modern.

Crap. I forget to look, a lot of the times, at if the deck is Modern or not. My bad.

I'm not sure how to fix your mana problem.But I think you should put in a shrine of burning rage, so you can hit them with that then sac it for a shrapnel blast.just saying.

Burning rage though I have to sac anyhow to benefit from it's ability, so shrapnel blast would either kill it before I use its ability or I would use its ability leaving shrapnel blast with nothing
