Alrighty, here is a deck of mine, my third here actually. I have always loved Izzet, but its very hard to work with in the current standard. This is the best deck I could come with around this theme: Boosting Creatures to victory. To my surprise, it works well against Green decks (as this deck is a bit too fast for most green).

The main point of this is to get any number of the creatures out, (finding them with Opt , Radical Idea.) Everything is synergetic, in this order (in my belief): Beamsplitter Mage: Although he is the only non-flier, he helps everyone else out. and can gain flying himself with Maximize Altitude. Wee Dragonauts: I'm surprised this card isn't seen more. It can tank a hit from a weenie. It also has a low starting power, that can easily pump to 5 with two spells (even Opt ).
Pteramander: Ptermander is the win con, if there is even any. Phoenix of Ash: A Haste-Flier. Useful when my hand is empty, because he pumps on his own. Lightning Stormkin: Another Haste-Flier, to help take them lower from the beginning.

However, I know this deck is not perfect. Should I abandon it, or is there a way to improve it? Also, I'm really bad at sideboarding.
