Nivix Cyclops or Guttersnipes for T4 or T5 kills. Add some unblockability to Nivix Cyclops or tap down potential blockers while gaining power with Nivix's ability, then go for an Armed // Dangerous for lethal.

If the opponent is heavy on removal, hold back on casting your creature until you can get enough mana to cast it and still have a mizzium skin hanging back.

Side in Izzet Staticaster against token-heavy decks and decks that run a lot of 1-toughness creatures. Side in Mugging against decks with big blockers or important 2-toughness creatures. Negate acts as more protection for your creatures, while Pithing Needle aims to stop planeswalkers and pack rats, lotleth troll, etc. Turn // Burn the big guys and the indestructible guys, and bring in Ral Zarek for more mana, tapping down blockers, and repeatable damage.
