Deck discussion for Red/blue standard

Well trying to make it tournement quality the first step to any tournement quality deck is good lands and I don't mean guild gates I mean shocks and buddy lands ( sulfur falls and steam vents) your in just 2 colors so you can get by with 2 shocks and 4 buddies and have a set mana base
Second problem with this deck is you have bad cards in it street spasm is pretty much strictly worse then bonfire
Downsize is weak unless you can use it to trade for a ton of creature your creature base won't let you, mainly cause your red blue which is bad creatures

Dispel is a sideboard card more then a main board there's a lot f decks where it is dead my jund deck has 2 instant speed cards and their uncounterable
Forbidden alchemy is normally going to better then amass he components as you get the card you need a turn sooner
Flames of the firebrand is not a bad card really it may see play so it's keep able
Searing spear is playable but not good
Curse of the pierced heart is weak and if you draw it late game it's even weaker
If your deck gets fast and burn oriented enough vexing is an amazing card I'm not sure hyper Aggro burn is there for red blue it's more tempo right now
Niv mizzet is a great card get at least 1 more
Hypersonic dragon has potential he makes the cut for now as does guttersnipe and the electromancer
Clone is not that good most decks have stuff that's not worth spending four mana on and you don't either really
I'm not sold on mercuial chemistur but it's playable I think if only fringe

Now you have too many land you can cut and island a mountain so your at 24 then you can add 4 brimstone volley and 1 izzet charm your deck already looks way cleaner and more usable

Have you thought of adding a Staticaster in the side-board for Selesnya decks? It's good against tokens and creatures with same names.
