This version of Izzet Blitz emphasizes less on cantripping and more on creature defense, along with direct damage with those creatures with spells like lightning Talons making creatures a more formidable offensive and defensive threat, and a full playset of Crash Through assures that when it's time to go on the offensive it tramples through and draws a card. Mutagenic growth and apostle blessing are essential defensive staples for the decks creatures on the field either defensively or offensively with spares available in the sideboard. Instead of cantripping, I'm opting for more flat out draw with divination to replenish hand, also more in sideboard. Gone should be the days of wasted turn draw and fruitless cantripping.
