Deck Description

I'm starting to design a new Izzet deck. I usually play casual so there are no restrictions, any kind of feedback however would be very welcome.

Deck discussion for Izzet deck open for suggestion

You know, Ponder and Preordain are the only reason this isn't Modern legal. Sadly, those two draw cards are banned in Modern.

Looking at your list reminds me of the Kiln Fiend decks I've seen in Modern and Pauper, so Kiln Fiend mite be a good card to add. Sadly, as much as I too like Wee Dragonauts, they're outclassed by Kiln Fiend and Nivix Cyclops, especially in decks running cards like Artful Dodge and Apostle's Blessing to get the damage through. It's been a while since I've looked at Modern Kiln Fiend decks, but I'm sure they now use Monastery Swiftspear too.

I have thought about both Nivix Cyclops and Kiln Fiend, the only problem is that they'll easily run into a blocker. The whole modern thing is not a problem though, since I only play casual. Wee Dragonauts is not the main win condition, which is why I think it might be okay to keep it instead of Kiln or Cyclops. But since I do have 4 of both Kiln Fiend and Nivix Cyclops I might try them in the deck once I get the rest of the cards.

Normally they would be blocked, but that's why they're normally played with Artful Dodge and Apostle's Blessing so they cannot be blocked. Makes for a scary turn 4 kill.

I guess that would be quite the hard hitter.. I am however picking apart my original Izzet combo deck. When Khans came out my deck left the Standard bracket, but it was the same idea. I was usually able to get a Nivix on the board, enchant with Aqueous Form and then with Titan's Strength and Armed/Dangerous make it an 8/6 unblockable with double strike. Then keep open 1 blue/red mana land for Mizium Skin or Dispel or another Titan's Strength :)
I've just got a lot of combo decks already, so I'm kinda looking for some good basic Izzet without no fancy combos.
I might think about remaking my old Izzet deck however, I do have Kiln Fiend lying around, and I think that I could do some cool stuff if I threw Fling into the mix :)

Everyone always thinks of Fling, but never think of Soul's Fire. Depending on the 'combo', I think Soul's Fire could be a better option, but that's a debate for another deck.
