Posting from the other thread:

I messed around with a deck and this is what I ended up on. As always, I didn't factor in any restrictions based on rarity.

9 x Mountain
11 x Island
4 x Izzet Guildgate

2 x Vapor Snag
4 x Shock
2 x Artful Dodge

4 x Kiln Fiend
2 x Goblin Electromancer
2 x Fling
2 x Voyage's end
4 x Think Twice

3 x Dissolve
3 x Guttersnipe

2 x Archaeomancer
2 x Talrand, Sky Summoner

2 x Time Warp

2 x Banefire

The thing should explain itself. Deck want's to go for the fast combo damage of Kiln Fiend to quickly end the game, but if that doesn't work out there's still lots of tricks for the late game.

This deck is really nice to grind with, I really need your tips of what to do with it, help me out.

[1v1] "Starter"
A library for the Izzet 2015 deck (Dodge and Kiln)
60 Cards. 37 nonlands (14 creatures, 23 spells). 23 Lands (10 9; 4 other).
Land
-- 4x Izzet Guildgate
cost  
-- 3x Satyr Hoplite
-- 4x Fleeting Distraction
-- 4x Artful Dodge
-- 2x Coordinated Assault
-- 4x Shock
cost  
-- 4x Kiln Fiend
-- 1x Fling
-- 1x Krenko's command
cost  
-- 3x Guttersnipe
-- 2x chasm skulker
-- 2x Bolt of Keranos
cost  
-- 4x Inspiration
cost  
-- 1x Time Warp
cost  
-- 2x Charmbreaker Devils

So I obviously want to make big unblockable damage with kiln fiend.
but what's my back up plan?
1. draw and cycle through my library, those spells also activates my creatures in the process. my problem is that Quicken does nothing, inspiration is bad, military intelligence and Bident of Thassa are not spells, and they work when everything goes well, in this case, I can win (Should I add krenko's and these?)
2. satyr hoplite turns into a big creature with artful Dodge, Coordinated assault and sometimes fleeting distraction that target it. Chasm Skulker also becomes big with my cycle through the library spells - they are back up plan for kiln.
3. burn to remove creatures, Coordinated assault, and in some degree fleeting Distraction are back up plans for Artful Dodge, I may not have unblockable damage, but at least if they block they lose a creature, and I'm not.
4. devils and time warp are not so hard to cast even with 22 lands with all my draw, Bolt of Keranos can filter them if I don't have lands, or filter other spells if I want to reach mana to cast them.
5. I don't like the counterspells, I want to cast spells in my turn so I can buff my kiln while attacking - but I guess it is possible to add them.

What tips do you have for me?

EDIT - made few changes.

I would add Fling, A pumped Kiln Fiend can do a ton of damage. What about Talrand, Sky Summoner, Vapor Snag, Skullcrack? Think Twice is better then inspiration

Izzet is open!

fling is an option, it also nice on a chasm, but from my experience if I have a kiln going and not removed I win without it.
the rest of the cards you mentioned are great, unfortunately premiums.

How about Furor of the Bitten, Void Snare (could make use of Quicken) and to a lesser extent Voyage's End?

Quicken also has some fun synergy with Act of Treason. Using one of their creatures to block their other creatures...
However, I've currently taken quicken out of my Izzy deck. Just too much else I wanted to shove in there for now.

Blazing Intellect 2015 deck (Blazing Intellect)
60 Cards. 39 nonlands (10 creatures, 29 spells). 21 Lands (10 7).

Creature
-- 3x Goblin Electromancer
-- 4x Kiln Fiend

-- 3x Guttersnipe

Spell
-- 4x Vapor Snag
-- 4x Shock
-- 2x Quicken
-- 2x Artful Dodge

-- 3x Skullcrack
-- 4x Think Twice
-- 3x Voyage's End
-- 2x Negate

-- 2x Anger of the Gods
-- 3x Resounding Thunder

Land
-- 4x Izzet Guildgate

Additional cards maybe include Fling, Fleeting Distraction, Bolt of Keranos, Void Snare, and Banefire etc.

I dont remember seeing resounding thunder in the list

It was in the DLC. Oh well...just replace it with Bolt of Keranos I guess. Same ****...

I don't think I have seen Banefire anywhere, may be you mean Volcanic Geyser?

I'm pretty sure I saw Banefire on the list...

I feel like I'm being trolled.

I went to double check, its in the Alara DLC which I just don't reference since its not on the original list. My apologies.

Holy Smokes. I keep looking at the outdated list...

This is What mine will probably Look like by the end:

DECK: Spellslinger

4 x Vapor Snag
2 x Artful Dodge
4 x Shock
1 x Negate
2 x Nullify
4 x Think Twice
4 x Kiln Fiend
4 x Goblin Electromancer
3 x Dissolve
4 x Bolt of Keranos
3 x Guttersnipe
2 x Talrand, Sky Summoner
1 x Stormbreath Dragon

4 x Izzet Guildgate
9 x Mountain
9 x Island

I think UR control will be good vs the aggro decks.

4 x Izzet Guildgate
11 x Island
10 x Mountain
2 x Quicken
4 x Shock
1 x Void Snare
4 x Goblin Electromancer
4 x Think Twice
2 x Voyage's End
2 x Negate
2 x Anger of the Gods
2 x Bolt of Keranos
3 x Dissipate
3 x Inspiration
2 x Archaeomancer
1 x Time Warp
1 x Stormbreath Dragon
1 x Inferno Titan
1 x Volcanic Geyser


I like that this list has an answer for everything, has a lot of card advantage and most of the spells are instant speed.

I'm not sold on quicken. Especially if most of your spells are instant.
And, if you're going premium, I think Talrand should be in there.

It's sad that this sentence exists; I don't want a two-tiered game.

I second that...but it's what we have, like it or not...
