Here's my take on a super-budget casual version of Affinity, with a Burn/Beatdown focus. I realize that I'm missing all the applicable artifact lands, but I chose not to include them simply because I think they'd make the deck a bit too powerful. After all, my goal isn't to completely flatten my roommates, who comprise the entirety of my playgroup. At the same time, I'd like to have a solid deck. What do you guys think?
Even Ravager Affinity decks often didn't run Shrapnel Blast because it compromised consistency. But they did run Electrostatic Bolt to clear the way. So in other words Shrapnel Blast can be considered for being removed, but not necessarily Bolt and Galvanic. Plus I just realized, Galvanic is in a way even better than Shrapnel Blast.
Not sure how about I feel about Darksteel Juggernaut.

Hmm....thanks for the constructive criticism. Juggernaut was just a 1-of that I found lying around, so I decided to toss him in as a finisher of sorts, since I don't run the Disciple/Ravager combo.
My primary purpose in running all the burn is just to have two feasible wincons; I don't know if that's a good idea but it seems decent on paper anyway.
As for Myr Retriever, he's mostly there to combo with Shrapnel Blast, and to deter blockers/removal on my opponent's end so I don't get to recur an artifact that they've already spent a card to remove. I could see him being especially deadly if they're forced to use removal due to a Cranial Plating on him, as I could then just respond with Shrapnel Blast to turn the exchange into a 1-for-2 or a 1-for-1 with 5 damage to their face.

The deck seems to be lacking artifacts.
And instead of Myr Retreiver, maybe Arcbound Worker or Memnite. Your burn can clear the way for Arcbound Slith. Runed Servitor is a 2/2.
