I think the main board is pretty awesome. I can see the" iffyness" of the sideboard, because it just seems like it takes care of one kind of creature heavy metagame. Have you thought about Boros Reckoner? I think that would fit wonderfully, and I'd throw in a few of the scry lands, and maybe even some sacred forge... or whatever the red/white shock land is... the name is lost on me at the moment. You could add some pretty cool control with anger of the gods and the elspeth combo (Greater than 4 or less than 3 that's pretty cool imo) I also think, even though it costs a bunch of mana, you have less things you'd need to spend mana on late game, a few nykthos shrines and a devout invocation with something like ogre battledriver would take it over the top, there are many other combos, but that;s my take on red/white. super strong at the moment. also. angel of serenity would work wonders.

Hey there. I've been a huge fan of izzet, and love the control and burn aspect of it. Travis Woo made a standerd Izzet Blitz deck that focuses on using low cost spells to exploit guttersnipe, and nivix cyclops(which would also go well in this deck). I bought the pieces necessary for "version 2" that I didn't have and I've been watching twitch episodes and articles. check it out on Channel Fireball. here's the link: http://www.channelfireball.com/videos/channel-twoo-standard-izzet-blitz-2/ I like what you've done here, and i'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences with whatever you decide to do. I think your spells cost a bit too much for what you'd like to do with it, but that's just me.
I know i need to add Liliana, and I have one atm, but don't know what to take out to put her in. The drawback to this deck is that i'm unable to discard unless I overdraw... Which normally wouldn't bother me... haha. Thanks for looking.
Stuffman, thanks for the post.Mind Sculpt was in a previous version, and I'll put it back in. Thanks for suggestion of splashing green i'll add those cards to my sideboard, so i can look at implementing them later, effectively doubling what my x cards will hit for. I think this will improve the effectiveness of the deck as I've seem to have lost by only one or 2 turns.
Thanks for the time you've taken to look at my deck. I'll keep this in mind, more for a kitchen table thing, but can switch things out to make it standard.
Marked unloved twice, could use the help.
I'm gong to solitaire the deck a bunch to see how it plays out, the creatures are so awesome that I'd rather not lose them, so it seems to trim the fat i'll need to ditch an instant spell or 2. Traitorous blood is my coup de grace so i need to keep that. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. I am also looking at my burn to see if there are better options for my direct or creature damage, thoughts and ideas here would also be welcomed.
