I love to play Izzet style and made this deck to get most out of Ral Zarek and Steam Augury, two cards that are borderline playable in standard but i feel they can be good in the right shell...

The plan is to control the board with counterspells and Cyclonic Rift, using card advantage form Steam Augury and Jace. Sadly i only have 1 Jace otherwise i would probably use him more, sam goes for the Steam Vents.

Another essential element will be the spell synergy with creatures like Spellheart, Young Pyromancer, Electromancer and Guttersnipe. Frostburn Weird is used to stop aggro or do some damage once the board is controled.

Looking for feedback on this...

Tested the new setup of the deck all night against

Orhzov devotion: 2-1 win

red aggro 2-1 win

white weenie 2-1 win

mono blue devotion 2-1 win

So I all won those 2-1 only to eventually lose against my own golgari deck...

Prognostic Sphinx really lived up to my expectations. Black removal was usually ineffective because i could just discard some useless land to save my sfinx, also it really sets the game to your hand once you can have multiple 3x scry.

If the sphinx wasn't around, AEtherling did a lot of the dirty work if games stalled, having 1 in the deck is ideal.

Ral Zarek proved to be an effective clock once i controlled most of the game. its also nice to always have a Lightning Bolt on deck because of him.

Syncopate was a must early game, aswell as Magma Jet and Izzet Charm. Still considering to drop a charm thought, as it was usually an irrelevant spell late game despite its cycling ability.

and finally, even Spellheart Chimera was effective most of the time. its hard for most opponents to get rid of him once i can protect him with counterspells and the spells keep adding up to his power wich often grows to around 3/3. largest i could make him was 7/3, closing out a game.
