A Melek, Izzet Paragon deck inspired by some various sources. Its tempo oriented hoping to win in one fell swoop by means of Storm or various other wincons like Sphinx Bone Wand + Alot of spells. The sideboard currently has various cards that could also be considered the maybeboard like the Runechanter's Pike. The AEtherize and Curse of the Swine and Possibility Storm are currently there because of a friend's Sliver deck (AEtherize helps act like another Cyclonic Rift and Curse of the Swine exiles so he cannot regain them back). For tutor oriented decks the Possibility Storm is present because with the Sensei's Divining Top and Melek, Izzet Paragon and so forth we always know what is coming so it is like another Dream Halls. Take out what is suitable to replace with Possibility Storm but I take out Dream Halls because it can help others quite a bit as well so I tend to need to Capsize it before they use it against me. Any advice is accepted and considered so post as you wish.

Key Combos:

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite Mana

Infinite Mana Combo + Epic Experiment, Comet Storm, Bonfire of the Damned, etc. = Wincon

Ignite Memories + a multitude of spells = Possible Wincon

Rite of Replication shenanigans = Wincon (funny way to win)

Azami, Lady of Scrolls + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind = Every creature is a wizard so you can use this to basically make everything a Gelectrode with draw power.

Many other combinations are possible but those are some fun ones (that is why Izzet is fun). As stated before all criticism (hopefully constructive) and suggestions are welcome. Keep in mind some cards are there based solely on flavor of the Izzet guild and spellslinging like Ral Zarek, replace them at will and suggest some replacements if you would like.
