Deck discussion for Standard Nivix

This is a cool deck, Nivix Cyclops is the latest of its ilk to make a standard appearance. However:

1) Magma jet is a great burn spell, but not in standard. It is the only card in this deck not in standard, so i would swap it out for Searing Spear or something similar.

2) Uncovered Clues is one of the worst dig spells printed in standard, just run some draw spells like Divination or Faithless Looting or something.

Some counterspells wouldn't go amiss either, although they probably won't trigger the cyclops, Guttersnipe and Pyromancer like them just fine.

First, thanks for taking the time to look and comment on the deck.

Magma Jet has been spoiled as being reprinted in the upcoming Theros block, hence it's inclusion. All the other choices have also been made to keep the upcomming rotation in mind as well, which eliminates Faithless Looting sadly. I'd love a better or cheaper dig spell than Uncovered Clues (I might just depend on Magma Jet), but until one gets spoiled I'll have to settle for something that digs 4 down.

Couterspells I tend to place in the side board as I see them as stronger tech for game 2-3 than for game 1.

I know it won't work on this site, but when Theros comes, Anax and Cymede would be great in here. Also, Shock is much better than Warleader's Helix here because with Nivix Cyclops and doublestrike, you want to be playing more spells in one turn.
