Ruby Storm without probe

After strenuous testing of a standard Ruby Storm list without [[Gitaxian Probe]] was incredibly depressing.

The decks feels on average an entire turn slower without the card.

I tested both standard versions and [[bonus round]] versions of the deck substituting in [[street wraith]] [[faithless Looting]] extra copies of [[reforge the soul]] [[collective defiance]] [[magnetic insight]] [[cathartic reunion]] [[tormenting voice]] and even [[Tezzerets gambit]]

I have yet to try but I believe there may be merit to trying [[bedlam reveler]] coupled with looting.

The deck feels much more reliant on [[past in flames]], which seems awkward and rather bad

Do you all think a R cantrip like [[Crash through]] or [[Overmaster]] (this looks like neat tech too?) is the best im gonna get? I know Ruby Storm is not the most competitive, but it has been my pet deck for a while

I'm at a loss here, and would appreciate some suggestions. Probe may not seem like it, but the extra card + spell was pivotal in this deck (the bonus round version was especially hurt) how can I replace the guy?
