Hey El_Jiriki! Izzet Charm could replace anything on the 'See More Cards' section. Replace Timetwister if money is an issue. I switch out Impulse for Izzet Charm occasionally. Ral Zarek fits the 'Utility' section pretty well. He used to be in the deck, but I hadn't found his abilities relevant enough to the game plan though. Maybe your playgroup and experience will differ. For Ral Zarek, I would recommend replacing Blood Moon or Propaganda.

Hey thanks! Just a piece of advice, you don't want the Izzet Boilerworks if your playgroup is competitive. Your opponents should be destroying that land and setting you back two turns. True, it's an amazing card to abuse with untap effects, but it's not worth the blowout early, in my experience. Also, that land suffers from not being an Island, which makes High Tide strictly worse!

On the other hand, the Volcanic Island is an instant include and replacement for Island if you have it. I don't, so I'm waiting until that day!

I like the Cyclonic Rift from a flavor standpoint (GO IZZET!!), but Cyclonic Rift and Blasphemous Act aren't where I want to be with this deck, because though they stop your opponent from killing you, that's all they do. They don't help you win. They help you not lose. I'd rather run a card to help me win faster. Basically, the best defense is a great offense!

Inner Fire is a bad card. Its mana efficiency is low, but I just wanted to give it a try for awhile. I replaced mine with Desperate Ritual (and will be updating my list soon to reflect it). I made a few other changes as well. Stay tuned and please, let me know what you find successful in your own games. I'd like to make this deck better!

P.S. Did you catch on to the 3 card instant win combo?

Hey El_Jiriki, I decided to try out the Blasphemous Act and Cyclonic Rift. I retract my previous statement and have decided to include them into the list. Thanks for the input.

I made new changes to the deck, as well as cleaned up all the information below it. I learned a little bit about HTML to make it look nice, lol.

Great deck but next time add more utility

So after a lot of consideration, I included the Cyclonic Rift and Blasphemous Act, as the raw power of the first is too much to ignore, and the second has done a lot of work for me in a creature saturated meta. Thanks for the feedback, El_Jiriki.
