That is exactly right on, CT. I actually built this rather random CounterBurn deck a while back, and it was one of the main decks a friend and I used for a while, simply because neither one of us took the time to build any other decks. We came to hate the deck. Absolutely hate it. One of the most annoying decks ever to play against, and I came to dislike playing with it. It was so random that you'd think it would be fun to see what would pop up from game to game...but the main thing I even looked forward to if I played with the deck was hoping that a Frenetic Efreet would resolve.
I like the concept of CounterBurn, I love burn, I love a lot of red and blue cards that work well in such a deck...but I only want to play the deck once in a pale moon.
When I finally built a new deck and told my friend I wanted to try it out, he said, "Is it red?" (No.) "Is it blue?" (No.) "Okay, I'll play it."
