I'd find space for an Akroan Crusader . It works well with pyromancer because once you trigger the heroic you get two 1/1's and one with haste. You have plenty of spells for the trigger. Looks fun. You might need bigger removal to get some of the 4+ toughness creatures that come out early. Either bounce spells or something.

I was thinking about Akroan Crusader but most of my spells that I would give to my guys are all ment to be overloaded for all the tokens, and overload doesnt "target" crusader so that doesn't activate it. The only thing I would give it is titans strength. I added 3 Mizzium Mortars for some of the bigger creatures.

If you are concentrating on tokens then I'd sideboard something for Ratchet Bomb . Maybe a Wear / Tear or even Annul . I know you said you dont like cancel spells but this one is just specially for rachet bomb and you only need to leave 1 mana open, not 3.

Also, Master of Waves seems a little out of place considering your lack of devotion to blue.

I put Master of the Waves in there for the +1/+1 for elementals more that the the token giving ability. I would prefer something that destroys target artifact/enchantment, rather than countering. Im pretty sure there was a red card that does that, do you know the name of it?

look at my deck "no creatures??"it may give you an idea if you are making a non standard one next. i see you have made multiple red blue decks and this might give you an interesting look into a different way to run it.

I do like to keep my decks standard though.

24 land seems a tad excessive when you top out at 3 mana.

Does it? I never really get too much, and I always get land out as fast as possible.

take out 2 mountains for 2 Purphoros, God of the Forge

I'd recommend putting in 4x Coordinated Assault in place of weapon surge and 4x akroan crusader. If you have 2 Akroan Crusader out, you can target both of them and get two tokens, and then another for each pyromancer out.

Artifact destroyers do nothing against a Ratchet Bomb if its against tokens, considering it can be auto sacced, unless its before the tokens hit the field

chthonist- I was thinking about what I could replace for 2 Purphoros-es, now that I'm thinking about it I guess I could lower my land a little bit. Thanks!


ambient -The thing is my wincon Is overloading Dynacharge + Weapon Surge with a bunch of tokens. I guess weapon surge doesn't help as much but Coordinated Assault doesnt help any more. as for the Akroan Crusader other than my wincon spells all my spells are burn.

kylarbandurzo- I SUCK AT SIDEBOARDING! I really wanted this to be an izzet deck but it just couldnt work as well. Anyway I am going to change my sideboard so I can have like a Smelt or something like that.

Thanks For The Suggestions Guys!

this is a pretty cool deck! it seems like there might be some good synergy w/ Nivmagus Elemental & Spark jolt .. Guttersnipe & Young Pyromancer 's abilities still trigger, & you could put in Magma Jet , dig for Purphoros, & ping/swing them to death.. also more izzet flavor.[just an idea; seems like it would be fun]

I do have Magma Jet in there btdubs. I think ill side board Nivmagus for those sadists who play cancel decks.

chthonist says... #20

nice. i hadn't thought about that as a counter-counter.. i threw a deck together based on nivmagus btw- http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ping-n-swing-1/

Cool I'll +1 it! Izzet is the greatest!

HAMMER TIME!!

i don't like 3x Mountain and 4x Nivmagus Elemental in your sideboard. completely pointless

i really like Chandra's Phoenix . amazing in this deck. then bring it back from the grave

also, Magma Jet is a must in here

VinylScratch says... #24

Again I have magma jet in my deck. XD Its mostly filler because I dont know what else to put in my sideboard. I could add chandra's pheonix, but it cost alot and doesnt help too much. hammer is nice I was debating putting that in, but I don't know what to take out.
