Guttersnipe - (wincon1) Burns for basically every card I play
Young Pyromancer - Gives me tokens for basically every card I play
Molten Birth - gives me a ton of tokens especially helpful with guttersnipe and young pyro
Dynacharge - (wincon2) overload for all the tokens I have out deals some heavy damage
Weapon Surge - overload helps with wincon 2, also can save a guttersnipe or pyromancer in some situations
Magma Jet - burns and avoids mana screw
Shock - burns/creature removal
Lightning Strike - burns/creature removal
Mizzium Mortar - creature removal/easy choice for sidboarding
Purphoros, God of the Forge - burns every time a token enters the battle field

Sideboard

Burning Earth - great against 3 color decks
Electrickery - great against other token decks
Nivmagus Elemental - playing against counter decks I can just feed the countered spell to nivmagus
Smelt - because artifacts suck ( I would prefer an enchantment removal, but those dont exist for red)

My guess to what R/U is going to be in the Theros block is tokens. They already gave us Young Pyromancer and Molten Birth in M14. In Theros they gave us Master of Waves and Purphoros, God of the Forge. In Born of the Gods its going to be the multicolored things and hopefully there will be more things that create and buff elemental tokens.

I CONSIDER THIS DECK IZZET BECAUSE IZZET IS AWESOME!

---

It was originally going to be red and blue, but there were only like 3 different blue cards so I decided to just move it to the sideboard.

---

The way this deck is played is to get Young Pyromancer out early and burn all their creatures while stashing a bunch of 1/1s (if you have a Guttersnipe out to do damage to them as well, thats super helpful). Once you have enough tokens overload a Dynacharge or two along with a Weapon Surge and swing for a ton!

I made this in like an hour at game day, but I'm pretty proud of how well it works. Suggestions are very welcome.
