I havnt seen any fantastic deck lists. There r some good ideas but as it stands I don't see them being competitive. What I've seen in play testing is that izzet tends to sit dead center between control and agro. If u draw agro u need to get out in front with quick drops like {Nivmagus Elemental} or another good 1or2 drop u like. Then quick draw through with {Nivix Guildmage}, {Izzet Charm}, or {Think Twice} to find boosters like {Runechanter's Pike} or  {Spectral Flight}. If u draw control u better b able to burn out ur opponents early game and counter their late game. Once they expend their resources clear the way for  {Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius}. Of course there are a tone of high dollar cards to compliment as well. Ik that's a long post, but is it helpful?

Don't get me wrong, the experiment definatly has a place, but that's gonna b a late game card. I think it's meant for a guttersnipe deck. The electromancer is cool, but vulnerable. And in decks I've seen so far with him in it seems like there's a lack of creatures. U can only hold off for so long with counters and burn. There are pretty killer zombie decks and Naya decks goin around that put  {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} down third turn, and u can imagine where it goes from there. If they catch u off guard it'll b a deep hole to dig out of.

I'd like everyone to start getting into the habit of posting questions in: http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=12963.0

Keep the main board clear for decks and not having to bump every question that gets swallowed up by the fast moving board.

My buddy has an Izzet Delver Deck that's pretty solid.

Delver
Snappy
Electromancer
&
Guttersnipe.

I hate it when he {Divination} for U, with two Goblins on the board.
