A U/R Izzet deck with Burn! Feedback is welcome. ;)

Your suite of burn spells is both formidable and versatile. Many of these spells can target a creature or a player, so you'll be able to either remove problematic enemy forces or simply finish off your opponent. Flames of the Firebrand and Turn / Burn are great ways to clear out an early rush, and Battlefield Thaumaturge makes them brutally efficient if you're going after multiple creatures.

Turn / Burn and Mizzium Mortars both become more powerful as the game goes on, as they give you the option of spending additional mana for a larger effect. When you're running low on damage spells, Divination and Steam Augury help you refuel. When playing this deck, you shouldn't seek to prolong the game like you would with a typical controlling deck. Instead, you'll want to switch from defensive to aggressive at the first opportunity. Knowing when to use your burn spells on your opponent's creatures and when to go for the throat is crucial. Spellheart Chimera and Guttersnipe are both great ways to close out games while your opponent is on the back foot.

Your sideboard will allow you to adjust your strategy for certain matchups. If your opponent is playing an aggressive deck with small creatures, you can swap out your higher-cost spells for more ways to interact early, such as Izzet Staticaster and additional copies of Flames of the Firebrand . Elixir of Immortality can help against decks that try to finish you off with burn. If your opponent is playing a slower deck with lots of creature removal, you can take out some fragile creatures like Guttersnipe and add inexpensive ways to counter big spells in the form of Dispel, Negate, and Essence Scatter.
