This is interesting. It's very Temur Energy-esque but trying to fill the gap of losing Attune with Aether and Rogue Refiner. We should see quite a few energy decks sprout up and trying to take the crown.
My Quick thoughts:
Not sure I like Whirler Virtuoso in this deck. You aren't really generating a ton of energy, most games you are going to get 1 token per Virtuoso.
Also, with an avg. CMC 2.88 you can easily run 24 lands, especially if you run something like Opt or other draw spells.

To me it seems like half the reason to run the phoenix is that you can run damage-based board wipes alongside it, and it will survive.
