This is my Izzet Burn deck. I'm liking how it plays so far, it's pretty fun. I'm hoping to take it to FNM. Not sure what to do with the sideboard... maybe thinking about siding a bit of control, otherwise I don't have a clue.
If I could +1 you I would. Just because of your picture
Rotating out. But it seems like this deck could really use a {Delver of Secrets}
Thanks Chevelle. Ed, Edd, n, Eddy will always be the best cartoon out there.
I've wanted to put Delver of Secrets in here, but it's difficult finding room for him. When I test this more I might be able to fit him in.
I'd say that Delver is better than Blistercoilweird

I don't think it is in this deck. {Blistercoil Weird} works really well with {Dual Casting}. I also think this deck has a couple too few instants/sorcery's to run {Delver of Secrets} successfully. I'm thinking about adding in {Epic Experiment} to combo with {Dual Casting} and {Blistercoil Weird}.

That's true but {Delver of Secrets} is a consistent 3/2 flyer that's harder to just chump block but with that (awesome) combo {Blistercoil Weird} is better

It is, but another reason why i want Delver is it gives me offensive power in my creatures early in the game. Cyclops and Niv are my only powerhouses, which hopefully come in mid-game at the latest. I'm definitely going to try to find a place for him in here. I've also been pondering a 4th Think Twice, what's your opinion on that?
Well if you're worried about:
1. Not finding your big threats
Or
2. Not having the mana for them
A 4th {Think Twice} solves both of those so ya I'd recommend it.
Also play test {Runechanter's Pike}

I feel like a 4th will speed it up and synchronize with {Dual Casting} and {Guttersnipe}. {Runechanter's Pike} is another card that could help this deck out. I'll test it.
Some quick instant/sorcery things like {Thunderous Wrath} (miracle) and {Firemind's Foresight} and {Archaeomancer} are good. If you want more defense, certainly include a little control and a play set of {Talrand, Sky Summoner} gives you enough defense. And definitely a play set of {Nivmagus Elemental}- Play an instant, exile it, with talrwnd you can keep getting the one powerful creature just in case and a bunch of small ones! Also, no Epic Experiment. Usually you lose too many cards you wanted. Also, X is a problem with it.
I forget is {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind} allowed in standard ? If he is it would be a good add on

{Thunderous Wrath} was in here before and I'm trying to find its place again. {Firemind's Foresight} looks a little high costing, but sounds like it is a game changer. Talrand has always been on the back burner. For my control I was thinking a couiple cyclonics/unsummons and counterflux. Yep, have to test Nivmagus too. Too many options!
I personally prefer Dracogenius.
Also, test {Terminus} as a sideboard for aggro and token spam, it's a great control.
Oh right, this is izzet😋
I really like this deck, but i feel like you need to definitely have counter magic. to many cards out there leave your creatures open for easy removal.
I'm testing burn right now. The original list had {Dissipate} and {Unsummon} which did help me avoid some bombs. Thanks for the input.
{Counterflux} for sure if you're going to play counter magic

Yes yes,
I'd recommend a 4th think twice and remove just 1 pillar of flame
More counter: {Rewind}, {Dissapate}, and {Cancel} are good. Cancel is m14, so definitely. I run similar to this, and trust me, counter and control are AWESOME. So is draw, it speeds up the game. {Ral Zarek} helps like crazy. But if you are adding one type, control, because aggro is usually a burn's biggest weakness. {Blustersquall} things. And no matter what, NO MATTER WHAT, [/b] put in at least one Reverbate and any of the Chandra's except Ablaze.

Thanks for the suggestions. i just posted my control version of this deck, but it's not updated for rotation. I'm going to though.
