Hi I can really use your advice I have been playing magic for a few years and I am making a new deck for extended, found here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/green-red-aggro-2/
I cannot decide whether to run two Grim Lavamancer or two Goblin Guide in this deck. Goblin Guide is in right now but I'm kinda leaning toward Grim Lavamancer... Any suggestions for the rest of the deck would also be much appreciated.
Lavamancer for sure. Goblin Guide is best in decks that you don't care if they hit all of their land drops because you kill them so fast. Since you are running more expensive cards like Primeval Titans and Garruk, Primal Hunter, it means that your deck goes into the long game -- something Lavamancer excels at. Goblin Guide works best in conjunction with fast and efficient burn spells.
Honestly I wouldn't run either. You don't have any fetches to use with the lavamancer, which really hurts his utility.

An ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Removal of the source after that time won't affect the ability. Some abilities cause a source to do something rather than the ability. Any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. If the source is no longer in the zone it's expected to be in, its last known information is used.
you run 12 non permenant spells and no fetches...that's not a lot of gas for lavamancer.
I would run GG or neither, and frankly looking at your list, I would be more inclined to run neither.

I don't think he's playing RDW.
If you are not planning to win turn 3-4 with cheap creatures and burn, goblin guide is not a good option to use. I would stick to Grim Lavamancer.
