Deck discussion for Volt Vamps take 2

I like what you're trying to do here. You might consider this:

+4 Delver of Secrets
or
+4 Stormblood Berserker

and
-4 Thought Scour
-4 Vault Skyward
+2 Curiosity
+2 Nightbird's Clutches

and
-1 Tezzeret's Gambit
+1 Devils Play

I ran something similar to this but RG instead a couple weeks ago at FNM. It was a lot of fun and did pretty well (3-2 overall).

Also, I'm not really a fan of the neonate.

I might just strait swap the neonate for the berserker.

And, if you do decide to go with delver - it's probably be better to swap the curiosity with 2 gitaxian probe or some red burn spell with flashback / replay ability (like geistflame or red suns zenith maybe).

Oh man, I'm liking Curiosity and Nightbird's Clutches, thanks for the heads up there.

I put up another version of this deck here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=318993 It's got a lower curve and more spellbombs, plus Rakish Heir. I'm not sure which of the two approaches is stronger, but I want to try a third take now.
