How to Play

This is my previous deck I made using this type of strategy:

Recently, I saw the $25 burn on turn 4 (only it's standardized):
http://www.mtgvault.com/drshagnasty/decks/25-izzet-4-turn-win-theros/

I realized that for both, Nivix Cylcops and Kiln Fiend, you get +3/+0 for EVERY instant or sorcery spell you cast per turn, so I changed it.
This is a potential turn 3 sweep.
Turn 1: land
Turn 2: land + Kiln Fiend
Turn 3: land + COMBO
This combo has to make this Kiln Fiend unblockable and have hexproof, which make Mizzium Skin (hexproof) and Distortion Strike, or artful dodge (both make it unblockable) really useful. Also you would need assault strobe to give it double strike.
Doing the math, you get a 10/3 (with artful dodge) kiln fiend with double strike, which is a one hit sweep.

In my main deck, I only included instants and sorceries that make my creatures stronger. My creatures are benefited by being unblockable and have hexproof as well as doing damage (guttersnipe) and getting extra creatures onto the battlefield (YP and Talrand). Delver of Secrets is useful to see what you draw into (testing it).

For a more defensive approach, you can replace any of the cards in the main deck with the ones I've given. Most of it is removal, defensive, and counters. I gave a lot of cards, since I know not everyone likes to play the same, so it's a huge realm of cards to pick from. Pick wisely!!
