Too many creatures. Not enough spells. Izzet's biggest advantage is its spells. Use more of them please

I second John's statement. Consider some more draw spells. {Turn//Burn} is great as well.

{essence backlash} IMO is a pretty cool card. It IS expensive with its 4 cmc but it can also really damage your opponent for trying to play one of their bombs.

If your keeping with standard, I'd main {syncopate} and {dissipate} for now and don't forget about {guttersnipe}!

{Elixer of immortality} is a sideboard card.

Especially in combo with multiple {guttersnipe}? It optimally can take care of more than 1/2 of their life. Hahah GG

{witchbane orb} could even be a possible sideboard for its turn 4 hexproof ability
