This is a fast izzet burn deck. It has been thoroughly tested against aggro, life gain, mirror, and control. It wins more often than not and is fun for a quick play.

Some of the key cards in the deck:Goblin Electromancer is amazing here. He reduces the cost of most spells to one red or blue. If that wasn't enough he reduces the cost of X for big bonfires, cheap flashbacks, and turn five overloaded Mizzium Mortars.

Delver of Secrets flips 9/10 times when he is played. The amount of instants/Sorcery will see to that.

Mystic Retrieval is my favorite card in this deck. You only need the two because it has a sexy flash back for a mere (2)(R), (1)(R) with Goblin Electromancer out. It will get you whatever you need in a pinch.

Simply side board according to what you're playing and put on your best troll face. Wiping the field of all enemy creatures never gets old, and neither does double lightning bolt + delver swing + rift bolt coming off suspend.

Worldfire is in the sideboard because if I was to take this to a big multilayer game, I would love to watch the world burn >:)

Edit

Play tested thoroughly against R/B aggro and won with a 3:2 ratio. Against aggro decks time must be taken to constantly kill/exile creatures. As long as the field is clear delvers will chip the opponent down. In the event delvers are killed/sacrificed stalling via removal is very possible.

Play tested against W/G/B tokens only one very long game. I won with six life remaining. Punishing fire works wonders against life gain. Mystic revival + Mizzium Mortars is also crazy effective removal until a bonfire shows up.

I had a few flawless runs against a standard guttersnipe R/U. R/U delver seems vastly superior to R/U guttersnipe. Guttersnipe eats dirt before his effect can be relavant to the game, and he costs two more mana to put out than delver. My next test will be against W/U delver
