Alright, am I missing something? Why do you have fetch lands? I don't see anything in your deck with landfall, and you only need mountains anyway. Are you taking advantage of some rules loophole somewhere I don't see? If there is nothing I'm missing then you may want to swap in some searing blaze or swap out the fetch lands for more mountains.

I completely agree, but it is mostly for big free for all multiplayer games where I can get away with it.
Thanks, I'm glad it sounds good. Mystic speculation matches well with the deck, but I'm on the fence about it. You are certainly right that it could get those spells out sooner, but it also takes up valuable deck space and mana expenditure. I think I will have to try the deck out a couple times before I get the sense of whether I have the space and mana to spare on that one.
You are right to point out the expense of the spells, but the mana problem is a tricky one. Colorless mana would be a big help in charging up my spellbursts and fanning the flames (and buying the sphynx-bone wand), but mostly I'm more concerned about the buyback costs, which is why I focused on memory crystals and fabricates. I'd be more interested in a way to get colored mana out more quickly. I might look at a Thran Dynamo after I test the deck out a few times, but the whole deck was assembled for about $24, and Thran Dynamos are of middling expense.
