Izzet Fun V2 - Need help

Standard* Control UR (Izzet)

shawakta


Sideboard


I am trying to get a fun deck that is competitive. I want to take it to my FLGS and actually stand a chance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The basic idea is to use the tap happy spells to keep things under control and use the guttersnipes to do the serious damage.

I have it now where I like it so far. It has done well with controlling the board. What are your thoughts at this point? I want to play it in tomorrow's Game Day and will update with how I do afterwards.

So yeah, very discouraging. Here is how I did:

Round 1 vs Gruul Got manhandled both games. Didn't pull any control spells other than a couple of counters, too little too late in the first game. Second game, only had a single creature, not the way this is supposed to work.

Round 2 vs Not sure, LOL These games were over so fast my head spun. Had horrible opening hands, mulligan down to 5, and still not great, draws were all lands bot games.

Round 3 vs Green aggro Won both games here, my opponent was short mana the first game, making for an easy win. Second game, same thing, he only had large creatures and not enough mana to cast them

Round 4 vs Army of the Damned First game I had good control, tapped him out and swung through for a 5th turn win with ciphered spells and my red gobbo. Second game, was pretty close until he was able to beat me with his big trample monsters. Game three, due to some serious luck on my opponents turn he was able to cast Army of the Damned from the top of his library for free, GG there

All in all I won 3 games and lost 6, very disappointing.

Any ideas on what I can do to make this actually viable?
