I currently play the lasker simul gambit which is and extremely rare line but it's not really working out for me. I would like something to suit my crazy attacking style and I know of the spielmann gambit but nothing else.
There is John Tracy gambit which is honestly garbage (2. Nf3) and I have never seen it used with good results, I just stick with two pawns attack.
Sounds nice, do you continue with c5 or something else? Maybe not a gambit but the 3.Na3 line looks pretty cool. Maybe even some unorthodox system with h4? Or should I just go to the good old Modern and add my style to it?
1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. f4 Nxf4 4. d4 Nd5 (4... Ng6 5. h4) 5. c4 Nb6 6. c5 Nd5 7. Nc3 Nxc3 8. bxc3 d6 9. Nf3 dxc5 10. Bc4 this looks crazy but actually playable.
The Emory Tate Variation features a gambit in the line: 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. a4 d6 5. a5 N6d7 6. e6!? The mainline 4...a5 5. Ra3!? is fun as well. The rook swings to g3 where it suppresses the development of black's DSB.

modern variation. I found a crazy line thats good.
The following variation is impractical because black rarely plays 5...Nd7?! but I fell into that once after mixing my move order and the game analysis blew my mind. I went 7...g6?? of course.
Not sure what it's called, but there's a line I've been trying with f4 rather than d4. The idea is after Nxf4, d4 gives tempo on the knight. Stockfish doesn't find it hugely unsound either.
