Here's a deck I plan on running at FNM tonight.

All for fun really, I don't plan on winning.... but if I get some of the synergy going, it may do well in a few matches.

Ok! Thanks for all the support guys. First match is against ChiefBell's Like, an actual izzet deck?.

Let the battle begin.

G1 You keep a hand of Steam Vents Island Mountain Young Pyromancer Purphoros, God of the Forge Turn / Burn and Bident of Thassa . Seems almost ideal.

I have Forest 2x Plains Soldier of the Pantheon Voice of Resurgence and 2x Loxodon Smiter . Leggo!

Your on the play after a die roll!

Ok so the game plays out much like it should for both decks. I just play threat after threat and you have 3 Young Pyromancer out and you keep chumping for days. The Purphoros, God of the Forge was temperaily detained by my Banisher Priest but you managed to get me to 8 life through the burn from the God before you ran out of steam. I just over ran you with threats and a Brave the Elements . Game one to the deck with a bad monty python reference.

Game 2!

Your on the play once again.

Your hand Guttersnipe 2x Purphoros, God of the Forge 2x Island Steam Vents Izzet Charm . Hum Seems fine.

My hand 2x Boros Elite 1x Experiment One 1x Plains 1x Temple Garden 1x Soldier of the Pantheon 1x Loxodon Smiter . This is janky as hell. Let's go!

Your hand didn't get any better. You drew another Purphoros, God of the Forge 1 Young Pyromancer 1x Lightning Bolt 1x Guttersnipe and 1x Bident of Thassa which got dropped to the Izzet Charm , and one Island . My draws were Banisher Priest Which hit a Guttersnipe a Brave the Elements Which I used to swing for lethal and 3 Lands. I just had too fast a hand and over ran you.

Final score Come see the violence inherent in the system! 2 Like, an actual izzet deck? 0! Thanks for the post! I really like Izzet and that is a neat synergitic build. My only suggestion is -2 Bident of Thassa . I saw it both games and never had the urge to cast it. Your creatures are just too small to swing in effectively and I feel like you need more creature control. +2 Mizzium Mortars

More playtest to come!

Hey there, do you playtest against other formats? If the answer is yes... choose whichever you like :D

Red: *Luxuria (Burn)
Green: *Anthrax (Devotion)

I liked your initiative! Keep it up... let me know what happens with your tests hahaha cheers!
