A lot of the budget Izzet decks I've played against are either very burn-y or very pump-y. Each of which has its issues. I decided to try and make an aggro Izzet budget standard burn pump deck. It's probably scattered all over right now and might be inefficient but I'll be playtesting it and modifying it based on what seems to have the fewest weaknesses/inconsistencies, and probably making it increasingly less budget if I like it. Suggestions are encouraged!

Almost everything in this deck is 3 CMC or less, keeping it aggro. But the option for overloads and Epic Experiment with any of the creature effects create a mid-late game threat as well.

So there are two ways to win in this deck. One is a very standard, constant grinding away at opponents with creatures and burning or countering opponents creatures and removal spells.

The other wincon, given that the opponent survived through early game, hasn't beaten you yet, and you have a creature or two out and available for use, is popping a Epic Experiment where X is at least 3 and hoping to trigger the effects of any of our creatures and either burning them to death, using tokens to beat them to death, or slapping an Aqueous Form on a Nivix Cyclops or a Spellheart Chimera and swinging for lethal.

A couple of issues I can see right now are a lack of draw and scry. I'm sure others will present themselves with time.
