So, I've decided to try out Pyromancer Ascension in Vintage because after playing Chandra, the Firebrand in a casual Vintage deck, I discovered the fun in copying cards that are restricted in Vintage. Anyway, I'm open to all suggestions and thoughts.
Manamorphose is an instant, not sorcery. You could also go for the tons of manafacts into Hurkyl's Recall plan.
The thing about mana artifacts is that they are not instants or sorceries that feed Pyromancer Ascension. But how would I fit them into the deck while not compromising the count of the instants or sorceries?
*And thanks for pointing out Manamorphose is an instant. Whoopsie.
Burning Wish doesn't go to a graveyard and the cards that I'd Wishboard out of are generally one-of's, both things Pyromancer Ascension doesn't like. Plus most of what I'd side would want to side is instants like counters like Force of Will and Mental Misstep and bounce Boomerang/Echoing Truth/Chain of Vapor. I feel I just don't have the room for a Wishboard.

And yes, I am tempted to splash black to make it ANT, but I want to at least start out straight blue-red.

Ponder and Burning Wish help increase consistency. Sulfur Falls is less painful than Shivan Reef over a long period of time. Wheel of Fortune would also make this deck work better.

Ponder and Wheel of Fortune are Restricted (which matters in Pyromancer Ascension), but I see the power. I may cut a land for Ponder or Brainstorm for Wheel of Fortune. But I don't think I have the room for both.
And the problem with Sulfer Falls is that it cannot be my Turn 1 untapped land drop, which if I go down to 17 lands is not something I'm going risk.
