So, Game Day. I'm debating between Izzet Artifacts and Mardu Token-Aggro. I think the Izzet deck is more suited to the meta, but I don't know if it can win. Here's the lists for reference:

All suggestions are also appreciated, I need help on the sideboards!

Well, Ensoul Artifact did quite well at the pt, so it's worth looking at that, although its also important to note that because it did well, there will likely be more hate for it in sideboards. So what I just said was pretty much useless. mkay.

Move Thopter Spy Network to the sideboard, mainboard 4x Shrapnel Blast (you can cast this over the top of one of their burn/removal spells to sneak in some nice damage), and make sure you have enough counters in SB:

Stubborn Denial (protection for your "ensouled" creatures)
Clash of Wills / Negate (counter their hate)

Then, expect heavy red-aggro, so include some cheap burn/removal in the SB:Wild Slash
Seismic Rupture
Searing Blood

Feel free to have a look at my deck & provide feedback/comments:
