Izzet Skies Or Izzet Not?

[Mlerner12]

I would say after taking away one of each, (then all the Embraces and Pursuits IMO) you have more room for land and perhaps some creatures to put in a turn 2 drop.

Standard Izzet doesn't really have a lot of flyers for 1 or 2 mana. So maybe move {Cloudfin Raptor} to 4. Maybe even some {Seacoast Drake} for defense in the early game

I see that your theme is Izzet. I'll PM you my decklist that won me a few FNM's.

Thanks, but it is a budget deck, just forewarning you.

It's relatively cheap. Plus, I didn't need to yse any {Steam Vents} or {Sulfur Falls} when I made it.

Do you have mana problems too much with this deck? I saw you said it was budget, but unless you REALLY need the guildgates I'd suggest switching 2 or so for basics, or steam vents.

No problems, and shocks are way outside my budget

If no problems, maybe try cutting some gates for basics? Will make it faster by letting lands come in untapped.

I'll consider it

What about cutting a dissolve and something else for 2 {lighting strike}? That thing is awesome to cast with melek and it's kinda hard to cast dissolve off the top of your deck, people will see it coming.

Sideboard maybe {cyclonic rift} and {mizzium mortars}? Cyclonic rift is good against agro in general, and mortars is good against blood baron (if you didn't counter it)

I'm trying to figure put good sideboard cards against planeswalkers you might have a hard time killing, like maybe elspeth?

I'm still thinking about the board, and I think I'll cut a Frost Breath and Dissolve for the Strikes.

at least 1 {cyclonic rift} in sb to kill devotion, IMO.

That for sure ^_^

{wall of frost} while a three drop is great for defense early game and can stop aggro pretty effectively.
