First time Playing this color combo since the first ravnica block. Just got bored with normal decks and decided to try something new. hows it look?
Try for Nivmagus elemental turn 1, burn spells early on till. augur fetches a spell for me from top 3 speeding up my creature control significantly. rapid hybridization/searing spear to respond to rancor or huge unhandleable creatures like utuvara hellkite. mid game Chandra with possible huge elemental due to all the flashbacks, overload mizzium mortars and copy it with Chandra to blast their board, possible turn 5 with a Electromancer effectively giving me board presence and hand count advantage. also elemental is great for those moments when you try to kill a creature with a searing spear or counter a spell and they respond with a counter/indestructible or some shenanigans I can just exile my spell to make my creature even bigger. plz rate and advise

mostly a standard competitive player
anyone? lol
With all the instant and sorcery spells you are running finding a spot for a few guttersnipes may benefit your early removal with a bit of early damage; also, snapcaster mage would combo well with this deck.
I have been debating snapcasters and am currently buying guttersnipes from the local shop. my main concern is the huge agro game being played, silverblades are easily removed, but the x/x hydra with alpha authority owned me and last fnm. any ideas on how I could speed this up? im not really into counterspells, more the one to kill it when it hits, preferably in response to a rancor being cast
If you are referring to Primordial Hydra a decent counter to him is Essence Backlash and for Alpha Authority I suggest Counterflux but Rancor you can't really counter because anytime it goes to the graveyard its returned to its owners hand. The only true counter to Rancor would be Rest in Peace but that is a white spell or possibly a lockdown spell like Spectral Prison. Heres a link to my izzet deck, might help you with a few ideas for your deck. http://mtgvault.com/darkmerc/decks/controlled-burn/
Scratch that you could counter Rancor with Dissipate. Can't believe i forgot about that.
also im working on 2 additional izzet decks for fnm, a burning vengeance deck that does some hateful damage, lifegain wrecks it tho. and the Izzet Mine deck where I focus on stealing their beefy creatures and ghostly flicker/ conjurers closet to perma keep, or toss with fling... might be fun as my local shop features a lot of early agro/meta game agro decks, very few control
Lucky you everyone at FNM where I live is either on the Nayan aggro train or runs bant/esper control.
lol well we got plenty of naya agro and just a few wolf run red deck wins. but we had a lot of players go to grand prix and take out pros so competition is rough... just tired of going 4/2 and 5/3 just barely missing top 8
