Hey. This deck is made for standard. The main WinCon is to get Guttersnipe out turn 3 and barrage them with Instants and/or Sorceries until they hit 0. I'm open to suggestions for the Main Deck as well as the Sideboard. Thanks!

This more of a personal preference, but I've found that spells with flashback, i.e. Think Twice and Desperate Ravings are very useful in any deck using both Guttersnipe and Goblin Electromancer. And since those are both card-drawing instants, they can be used to help achieve miracles on your opponent's turn.

Good point, I'll throw some Think Twices in. Thanks for the input!
Also Artful Dodge, even if Guttersnipe is your only creature out, is basically 4 damage for (U) twice--2 unblockable + 2 from Guttersnipe, then flashback.

The concept is very nice & I find this deck competative for FNM!.. :) I'd drop Wrath for 2 Mortars & would run 4 Cyclonic Rift & no Unsummon... Thundermaw Hellkite would be better, than Hypersonic... ...would run Izzet Charm in main deck & Dissipate in sideboard... Jace(Architect) would be better here, than Tamiyo, or 1-1 copies... -1 Island, plus 1 Mountain... :) Possible sideboards: 1x Pillar of Flame, 3x Dissipate, 2x Tomrod's Crypt, 3x Ash Zelot, 1x Bonfire of the Damned, 1x Mizzium Mortars, 2x Blaspemous Act, 2x Pithing Needle... ...would you check my Naya midrange & help me improve it: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=403977
Thanks! I think I'll keep the Wraths because I use them more for player burn and the Mortars are creature burn. The reason I have both Cyclonic Rifts and Unsummons in here is because I can't target my own things with Cyclonic and if, for example, my Guttersnipe get targeted for Pillar of Flame then I can Unsummon it and keep him alive. The Rifts do give me a little more control so I will swap 1 Unsummon for 1 Rift. Yea, there's not a lot of sorceries left after I changed this deck for Hypersonic to work with so Thundermaws would be better. I like the idea of Izzet Charms for main and Dissipate for Sideboard. But, I want to make room for Think Twices, like the first comment suggested. So I'll Sideboard 3 Dissipates, main 2 Izzet Charms, then take something else out so I can run 2 Think Twices. I tried this deck with Jace before and it didn't flow very well, at least with the decks my local players are using. So I going to try the Tamiyos and if they work the'll probably stay. Agreed for the land swap. I really like that Sideboard, but I going to make some changes to it. It'll probably look like this: 3x Dissipate, 2x Tomrod's Cypt, 1x Bonfire of the Damned, 2x Izzet Staticaster, 3x Essence Backlash, 4x Ghost Quarter. I'll take a look at your deck sometime today. Thanks for the input!
Actually, think I'll just keep the Unsummons at 2 and the Cyclonic Rifts at 2. Just a personal preference kind of thing.
Nice deck. I would think about Brimstone Volley as well. Jace Architect would be a nice addition in case someone is running alot of 1/1 tokens. Check out my deck when you get a chance let me know what you think. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402690
I really don't like Brimstone Volley since I can run Searing Spears for less mana and the only thing I'm loosing is the morbid for 5 damage, but I can deal with that and spend then 1 mana somewhere where it's more effective. I don't want to run Jace solely to deal with tokens when he doesn't kill them. And I decided to Sideboard Izzet Staticaster for token games. Thanks for the input!
Yeah staticaster works great that's what I run for tokens. It is quite an underrated card if you ask me.

Very very nice izzet deck!
I may implement some of your ideas from this deck into mine.
Ever consider trying Charmbreaker Devils? High drop, yes, but when they get out, tough creature to kill, and they give you your instants and sorceries back. =D
I might run them and then put in artful dodge since they would combo well. I'll think about it
This is a good deck I like :)
I beg to differ this deck isn't bad but it could be better.
You should remove the thunderous wrath for another temporal mastery it would be good especially a deck like this with one more turn you could just wreck face.
That would help the deck but I think the use of top decking a thunderous would have a better affect than just using temporal mastery.

You should add vexing devils just cause it is such a good card because no matter what they will take 4 damage even if they don't it's just a great card.
Vexing Devil is pretty aggro and this isn't really an aggro deck but I see where you're coming from. If I can make room I'll put those in for something else.
Vexing devil is pretty good aggro but this deck is better used towards spells and less aggro.
so more people should just make this deck it is so good.
i have a better version of this deck here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=409499
That's debatable.
Run 4 pillars... trust me... take a look at my deck at: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=406329
I use to run this deck with 4 pillars but people at my FNM run centaur decks a lot more than anything else, so I run more Searing Spears. If I would take this to anything higher than FNM, which probably won't happen, I'd change it but you're right, in general 4 Pillars is better.
I run curiosity to make a curious guttersnipe for lots of card drawing, but i don't run any miracles
Using cackling counterpart to copy your guttersnipe is mean, id run 2-4 of those. They can work well with the electromancer too. If you dont know what to take out, id suggest either redirect or wrath. Nice deck :) Please comment on my RUG deck if you can think of anything to help it :) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402993
I didn't even know that card existed but I totally agree it would do mean things in this deck. Thanks for telling me about it.
Very nice deck here! Have you thought about Niv-Mizzet at all? He could be a powerhouse adding a serious threat to the board. I have found Mizzium mortars to also be a definite for main deck, maybe in place of redirect...Pretty awesome as she stands though! I am running a similar build, and would love some feed back on a bit more of a budget Check it here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=409689
You could add "Pyromatics". When you've got enough mana, you can copy it multiple times and deal Guttersnipe-Damage for each one.
Reminds me of my Epic Electromancer Deck; http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=407396 Yours looks like it's a bit more stable off the draw... I'd suggest Increasing Vengeance; Becasue the Electromancers count towards X cost and Buybacks, doubling up on a Bonfire Could just outright win you a game. Also, with the amount of spells you need to run to make this viable, being able to double up on larger ones can be handy (Temporal Mastery; take two, three, -Seven- turns... Two Vengances in the graveyard. Target Mastery with one, then the first Increasing Vengance with the second. Because it copies the spell as cast, you now have two copies that make two copies. Take Seven turns.)
You make a compelling argument; I'll put in 2 Increasing Vengeance
I dunno if anyone has said this but chandra's -2 would help much here. Copy a morbid brimstone for 10 dmg +2 for each guttersnipe. My bro has a monored guttersnipe deck and he devestates me by hardcasting thunderous with chandra's copy for shoot 10. You can even double draw with think twice or double token with your cackling. For free if it's not the turn you played chandra Check out my deck if you have the time. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=407169
I run Increasing Vengeance so I can copy things since it activates Guttersnipe's ability and has flashback.
chandra doesnt help at all. her -2 is nice, but it doesnt cause the guttersnipe to trigger for the copied spell, whereas Increasing Vengance, being a spell itself, deals the extra damage. Heres something to think about: Epic Experiment.
Nice Deck, Mizzim mortars Looking for help on these decks thanks !!

blue: needs a couple ponders red: check out this deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=408166
This deck is standard, I can't run ponders.
You can actually add Reverberate for those who use sphinx revelation and such
Where is your Epic Experiment
Doesn't work well in this particular deck. 1) No target for Dissipate 2) Bonfire's X becomes 0 3) No logical target for Redirect 4) No logical target for Rewind 5) Can't Overload Cyclonic Rift And that's if you get lucky enough for all of them to be Instants/Sorceries
Love this deck - Izzet is rapidly becoming a favourite of mine! Would you mind casting your eye over my artifact deck? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=335590
I'm basing my deck of this one.. Would you mind giving me an opinion? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=410143 I'm a fairly new player and I bought the Izzet starter deck and a few booster packs so I have most of my listed cards (:
I'll give it a look.
Izzet has Deadly and Sparky things. I like that. And, it seems you have tried to make it kinda "sparky" too. :) But if you ask from me, my favourite Izzet "sparky"-card is Electrickery. Fine deck. Keep going! Can someone check this out and comment? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=408866
I found that just buying the M13 Flashback event deck and throwing in Guttersnipes + Goblin Electromancers is rather efficient on it's own.I would advise getting some flashback cards and Burning Vengeance, as using a flashback cost once triggers both BV and the Guttersnipe as well.
Could you help me with my deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=404384
guttersnipe rapes lollll
Will you win against my deck? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=412922
Yes, I would.
Needs a lot more card draw. You don't want to find yourself topdecking. Try think twice (for the flash back as well, never a bad idea) and Desperate Ravings. For desperate ravings, try to have land available in your hand so that you can discard that instead of something useful. That is of course, if you have the land you need on the battlefield. Otherwise, Izzet Charm and/or Faithless Looting work just as well.
i would run an extra bonfires and maybe reverberate?
