Deck Description

Standard Izzet deck- first 'draft' if you will. It works quite neatly, I really enjoy playing it but I want it to be better. I'd love suggestions, but I'd still like the deck to retain its character.

At the moment I'm finding difficulty in getting my mana out, though perhaps that could be a shuffling issue.

Also considering Pyromancer's Gauntlet but it seems way to expensive to be useful as often as I'd want

How to Play

Particular combo with the burn and Satyr Firedancer for burning and creature removal, use Dissolve and Counterflux to stop key things hitting the board, Ral Zarek should be mainly used for his -2, though the +1 can be helpful for keeping meaty blockers (Frostburn Weird and Fluxcharger) unblocked or mana for instants, Nivix should be used mainly for cycling through cards- Melek is a late-game play and I'm considering taking some or all of them out in exchange for something faster, but it really has ramped up my damage output at times (maybe it would work better if I could sort my mana out and access it earlier)
Curse of the Swine is also semi-removal, Turn//Burn works on Gods (excellent)

There are issues like Artifact and Enchantment removal being absent but hopefully Counters get to it faster-- any tips anyone could provide would be helpful!

Deck discussion for Spellstorm in a Teacup

I'd drop some of the counterspells and replace them with Izzet Charms. Also, Melek is way too slow, and I'd suggest replacing him with Hypersonic Dragon.

Thanks, I'd been looking at Hypersonic Dragon- the Izzet Charm suggestion is also good, I'm not sure which counters I'd swap out though, maybe one of the Dissolves and both of the Counterflux?
