Deck Description

As you can see I like Izzet, I came up with this deck after looking at some other ones, tested it out against an Azorius control, lost 2-1.

I think I should add 1 more Jace and 1 more Spellheart Chimera.

I would really want some help with it, what to add and what to take out, how to side against controls and aggros. Thanks!

How to Play

Cast as many spells as possible, even better if Guttersnipe is on the battlefield.

VS aggro I use Act of treason + rapid hybridization, Omenspeaker and Essence Scatter.
VS tokens I use Izzet Staticaster+ Electrikery
VS control I use more counter spells + Guttersnipe and Chimera

Deck discussion for Izzet Madness (need help)

I would drop the G.Electromancer, your spells are fairly low as is; He does help but I think you could possibly get more out of another Y.Pyromancer or FBWeird (I really love this creature). You could might also consider a Nivix Cyclops, he fits into a different style of of Izzet(the type I typically play) but he is still a great creature. The Jace feels a little out of place, He is a great dude but I don't know if you have enough there for a alternate Mill condition, don't get me wrong it could happen but if you want to go that route I recommend 1or 2 more dropping the Pyromancers, Electromancer and (1) of the Chimera bumping FBWeird up and adding Cyclops to protect him.
I love Izzet, every deck I play tends to have Blue in it; for about 2 months (during Innistrad) I actually ran a Izzet Epic Experiment Burn deck that performed pretty well, even better once Cyclops came into being.

This is the Izzet that I am running now, not really budget but you could drop the Steam Vents and save a ton of money.

This deck is actualy an idea that came after i made a nivix blitz deck that didn't seem very reliable. Now I got my hands on a Ral Zarek, I'll try balancing the deck considering your advice Thanks again, I'll keep modifing this deck, so I might still ask for help. I checked out your Izzet and it seems very " straight to the point", does it perform FNM level?

It performs pretty good, I have 3-1 a few times with it; I have trouble with control most of the times, and control is always at the top tables at my local shop :/
I tried the Nivix Blitz as well and totally agree about it being unreliable thats why went more towards a midgame/control style of play with the deck. Anytime you have questions I will help anyway I can, I tend to play Blue/Red or Blue/Black most of the time :D
