Deck Description

This is a deck that i have put together using cards that have traded for or already own. Obviously this deck is on a budget, i only included chandra as i pulled one in a booster. I have been wanting to take this deck to FNM for a while, but would like some advice first, so advice is much appreciated!

How to Play

basically control the battlefield by burning any creature the opponent plays and hoping that your creatures can hold long enough to slowly kill the opponent. all of my creatures are based around instants/sorceries so i have an abundance of those included. by turn 4 or 5 i would have played a big spell like goblin rally or blast of genius (actually a really useful card!) and i should win the game.

Deck discussion for Standard Izzet Control/Burn

I would definitely Replace Cancel with Dissolve, and it's about .20 to .75 so if that fits in your budget I would highly recommend doing that

Looking at the amount of instants/sorceries you have, you could benefit from Young Pyromancer

Nice.
Young Pyromancer works well in here because of the token spamming

Now the only real thing that I would say could make the deck better would be to replace your Guildgates with Steam Vents. 'Cos let's face it; Shocklands are WAY better than Guildgates
Unless of course, you're playing budget or Maze's End

I'd save up for the Steam Vents over time

Believe it or not....
I want to play Warhammer 40K, but I don't have much access to money (no job in 2 years). But whenever I get some money, I put it away. Try that! Shocklands are only about $10-15 each

Also, I have a great instant/sorcery deck that I think you'll enjoy:
