First shot at an Izzet counterburn deck for the new Standard! I really want to try out Steam Augury, and Pyromancer and Chimera can get crazy with so many spells. The one-of Sphinx is there to be a hard-to-answer closer, but might be better as a Stormbreath Dragon.

I'll need to fine-tune the burn vs. counterspells, and figure out a good sideboard mix. If there's a ton of aggro, I'll want to pick up Anger of the Gods, even being a nonbo with my creatures.

Any ideas about my spell list? I want to make my matchups as positive as possible, and I'm leery of things like Obzedat and Polukranos.
