"When asked how much power is required, Izzet mages always answer 'more'". -- Goblin Electromancer

Well, the 21st century's sustentability moto says otherwise, I guess.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

That is the spirit of Izzet Synergy Charge.

Almost everything you need here has a converted mana cost ranging from 0 (and 2 life) to 2.

This deck is quick as hell but can get countered pretty easily unless you know how to protect your combo, so stay tunned.

What you are looking for here is a Kiln Fiend or maybe an Immolating Souleater . Once you have any of 'em, power it up with as many spells as you have at your disposal (Reckless Charge + Assault Strobe makes a very solid combination), but try to leave some mana and a readied Disrupt or Force Spike for backup, just in case. In case you are using your Souleater, you'l have to power it up using your own life and hope for the Strobe.

If your drawing hand sucks or your opponent counters you way up to mid game, you might have to count on your Nivix Cyclops 'cause he can take up a punch, unlike your puny fiend or the 1/1 Souleater. But you are definitely not in advantage in the long run, ever. If you ever find yourself tied up until turn 5 or 6, wait for the right moment to unleash the fury. Don't push your luck! Attack only when the opponent can't counter you at all.

Use Simian Spirit Guide for mana acceleration early on. With the right combination, it can give you a turn 1 win. Lotus Petal is there for the same reason.

The sideboard is fully made out of escape routes for your opponents' counters. Go figure it out by yourself.

SO, I guess that's pretty much it, guise. Please comment and help me build this deck as good as it can be!

I've changed the whole deck to fit the Pauper format. Changes on this matter include: -1x Lotus Bloom -2x Postmortem Lunge -2x Spellheart Chimera -4x Gut Shot

In order to improve the deck's flexibility while also fitting in Pauper format... -4x Izzet Boilerworks +2x Apostle's Blessing +2x Brute Force +1x Ponder +2x Immolating Souleater +4x Simian Spirit Guide +2x Lightning Bolt

I guess it is even better now than it was before. Immolating Souleater gives the deck a little bit more flexibilty itself, but it is also dangerous because of the massive loss of life intended.

But I guess that's it. Playtest it. It can win on turn 3, on turn 2 if you are lucky enough, or even on turn 1. Yep, that's right.
