Yeah I forgot suppression. I'll include it in main. Thanks for reminding.

Feb 15, 2016 - Updated some cards:
+1 Damnation
+2 Goblin Dark Dwellers
+1 Shadow of Doubt
+1 Terminate
+1 Jace, VP
+1 Kalitas (SB vs Burn)
+1 Keranos (SB)
+1 Anger of The gods
+1 Bribery (SB vs Tron with Ulamog, Emrakul)
+1 Tribute to Hunger (vs Aura decks)
+2 Compulsive Research (I hated thought Scour because it's a 50-50 situation)
-2 Gurmag Angler

Sunscorch regent performed well in late games. But due to mana requirements of this dragon, sometimes its a bit awkward to play. Maybe due to the new manabase and no scry lands. Hidden dragonslayer is great too vs eldrazi and burn. I moved transgress the mind in main to sideboard. Its only good vs control and big creature matchup. I added 1 Sakrhan, TDS in main and fixed the manabase strictly mardu colors.

And yeah I have considered playing deflecting palm. My deck is still on testing stage. I'm still open for suggestions ;)

Thanks for your input. I love playing Arcbond (mostly personal preference) and most of the meta here in my place is green based. Most times arcbond is unplayable in some draws. When I play arcbond, It's more of a timed play. I make them fell for my "trap", when they go lethal. I don't think much if soulfire dies. I just need the instant "boardwipe" + lifelink effect from Soulfire. I had one match when he attacked all his crits together with gaia's revenge. Blocked gaia with soulfire then arcbond it. I gained around to 40+ life total and devastated his field.

I'm currently playing this guttersnipe izzet control and mostly these are the weaknesses based on my experience.

Weak against Tri-color controls with life-gain. BANT, ESPER controls
Weak against decks with big creatures (if you don't counter them early)
Can go one one with W/U Flash (if you have snapcaster and bonfire of the damned)
Can last on a BR Aggro if you're lucky and fast enough.

If you can wait for gatecrash, hope for some spells and other cards that will help izzet.

Illusionist Bracers ^_^

In an izzet build, snappy is a must. I tried playing without it and I end up losing.
You will need bonfire too.

check my build :D http://www.mtgvault.com/pat0429/decks/ur-snipe/

I have this kind of izzet build. I tell you you will need:
4 Steam Vents
4 Sulfur falls
2 Think twice instead of Inspiration
Counter Spells: Dissipates, Syncopates, and counterflux
Pillar of Flame and Searing Spears.

I would main the shrieking affliction since u have discard spells and add guttersnipe for added damage since u have many spells
