Deck Description

Izzet standar deck. Stall them out with counterspells, burn, and boucne until you can get out Guttersnipes and Cyclopses. Pyromancer helps create expendible blockers, particularly userful against Desecration Demon, and Electromancer makes it all come together nice and easy. Oracle of Bones makes matches 2 and 3 much smoother, as once they know how your deck operates they'll pay tribute almost everytime giving you a cheap, powerful creature. If they don't, well, punish them for it. Your Instants and Sorceries stretch a lot farther than most people's. That Lightning Strike in your hand suddenly deals another 4 damage, gives one creature +3/+0 and makes a 1/1 token. They won't want to give you all that for free.

Hidden Strings is a particularly nasty spell. It can trigger your creatures' abilities multiple times, can be used for post combat mana ramp, or even pre combat mana ramp with Electromancer out. It can make a path for Cyclops to get through, or give it psuedo vigilience. It's probably the most potent single spell in the deck.
