A bit of background: When I'm developing books, I generally make a few early iterations that focus on just once concept and make a book that does that one concept really well. Afterward, I'll refine the card list to just the "necessary" cards for the concept, and add it in to the main iteration of the book that I'm building.
This is the book I used in the Mage Roars tournament game from last night. I mainly wanted to see how well adramelech, a flaming hellion, and sersiryx interacted together and to get some practice not throwing fireballs at the first opportunity. I was also interested in trying to stack burns on the opposing mage. Despite not meeting the last test goal, overall I'd say it was a success due to the large amounts of notes i got from the game with most of them being tactical in nature so I can play with these concepts better next time.

No wonder you were so liberal with your ignites during that game. Now that Cure is spoiled (thanks Arcane Duels!) there will be more answers for this strategy in the future.

Still many attack spells.
I would consider one more Fireshaper Ring and one more Hawkeye.
Also i would use at least one Wall, because your Imp, the Lord of Fire and your curses work well with it.
Do you deploy both Crystals?

In the match this book was used, I did not. I had planned the first four turns out, at which point I had sersiryx and the hellion on the board along with some enchantments and a crystal + forge. After that I decided to let the game go as it did.
The attack spells were there for a back up plan, mostly. And because they're fun :P. I normally take a more diverse pool of them, especially in my main Trogdor book
