I Tried to build a fair Izzet deck... I failed miserably...

Since Izzets possibilities with enchantment-hate are quite limited, I always try to let Volition Reins do its job on cards like Mirari's Wake or Humility. Corrupted Conscience, Dream Leash, Volition Reins, Aethersnatch, Gather Specimens, Dominus of Fealty and Keiga, the Tide Star also deal with the most annoying permanents.

Copying plays a major role in this deck. Copy Enchantment, Body Double, Clever Impersonator, Dack's Duplicate, Phyrexian Metamorph, Sakashima the Impostor, Clone Legion, Rite of Replication and Sculpting Steel ensure that the best cards always are on my side of the field too.

Out of sixteen creatures only two are capable of participating in open combat: Chasm Skulker and Psychosis Crawler. Therefor the need of keeping up the walls is realized using enchantments and keeping the boards empty: Meishin, the Mind Cage, Propaganda, Cyclonic Rift, Evacuation, Reality Shift Alpha Brawl, Blasphemous Act and Sleep sould ensure, that we are either not the prime target for attacks or that there is no combat at all.

Having Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind as commander and not including card-draw would be a shame. Brainstorm, Learn from the Past, Arcanis the Omnipotent, Consecrated Sphinx, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Solemn Simulacrum, card:Whirlpool Warrio, Concentrate, Day's Undoing, Enter the Infinite, Interpret the Signs, Preordain, Time Reversal, Timetwister, Alhammarret's Archive, Thought Reflection and Ugin's Insight keep Chasm Skulker and Psychosis Crawler strong and give me the opportunity to have all that I need in hand.

Lastly I included some cards to increase my lead over the opponent and thats the point where I failed in keeping this deck fair: War's Toll, Hive Mind, Leyline of Anticipation, Omniscience, Rhystic Study, Into the Core and Reality Shift make my opponents hate this deck.

Please note that I decided not to include: Any kind of counter-spells, two-card-infinite-combos including the Commander, Insurrection, Reins of Power, Acquire, Bribery, Knowledge Exploitation, Hellkite Tyrant, Mindslaver and any card that isn't reprinted after the Eighth Edition (Modern-frame).
