Notes:
Izzet artifacts with {Keranos} and {Stormbreath} for late game wins because the curve on this deck basically ended at 2, and card draws were a little inconsistent. This works fine for me, how do you guys feel about it?

Another thing that looks like my Ensoul Blast deck! :P

I'd want more than {Ornithopter} and {Darksteel Citadel} for {Ensoul Artifact} and {Shrapnel Blast} (not forgetting {Scuttling Doom Engine}!) targets. {Ugin's Nexus} perhaps?

{Aquatious Form} seems a bit out of place. I mean {Scuttling Doom Engine} and {Stormbreath Dragon} already have evasion. That being said it's a really underrated card and if it's been working, keep it.

Maybe {Stubborn denial} over {Negate}? You can get a 5/5 as early as T2 so it should have ferocious.

I might do {Weave Fate} over {Divination}. The instant speed is great, and it lets you hold mana for burn or {Negate}. Maybe even {Steam Augury}?

Didn't even think about weave fate! Seems like an excellent addition! I had {Ugin's nexus} in there but it was just... Eh. Fun when you could hit it off, but that was only on rare occasions. What are your opinions on {Disdainful Stroke} in this list, or sideboard?

Sideboard. There are a few decks where {Disdainful Stroke} is useless. If you're up against monsters it's generally better cause it catches {Polukranos, World Eater} and walkers.

I would add {dig through time} to the list as well, but I have none and don't feel like breakingm out the 20's yet!
