What do you think about Eyes of the Watcher, Netherese Puzzle-Ward, or Prescient Chimera?

Also take out Clear the Mind, Twisted Image, Prescient Chimera, Apprentice Wizard, Rakshasa's Disdain, Neutralizing Blast, Memory Lapse, Arcane Melee (It'l probably help your opponent just as much as you), Corrupted Grafstone, Grip of the Roil, and Hedron Crawler.

The deck should now have 99 cards in it plus the commander. Good Luck with it!

Combos well with instants & sorceries:Arcane Savant Baral, Chief of Compliance Chandra, the Firebrand Charmbreaker Devils Docent of Perfection Dualcaster Mage Dynavolt Tower Eyes of the Watcher Gelectrode Melek, Izzet Paragon Metallurgic Summonings Nivix Cyclops Narset, Enlightened Master Prescient Chimera Riku of Two Reflections Snapcaster Mage Sphinx-Bone Wand Talrand, Sky Summoner Thermo-Alchemist Young Pyromancer Also, literally anything with the keywords Prowess or Storm, and almost all cards with an Izzet mark

And my favorite:Guttersnipe

Very creative deck! I love Izzet, and this seems like an unexpected way to run it. The downside I think would be that everyone would probably gun for you right from the start. Do you find that?

Really like your idea of Djinn Illuminatus and Prescient Chimera.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Seems like Crystal Ball or other repeatable scry effects would be great. If you have a copy, Sensei's Divining Top seems absolutely amazing in this deck.

• Tutors that put cards near the top are good too... Long-Term Plans for example.

• Also I really think you need more mana ramp and maybe card draw too... like Coalition Relic and friends, also Mystic Remora or Rhystic Study

• Along that line, Past in Flames is probably great with all the combat tricks left over in your yard.

• For evasion, Aqueous Form, Distortion Strike, and Rogue's Passage

• For protection, Lightning Greaves and staples, or you could go with more budget options like Neurok Stealthsuit or Vanishing or Scatter Arc and other various counterspells. Protection from board wipes could be Shield of Kaldra but expensive.

• Lastly, Final Fortune is a pet card of mine, seems like a fun way to win. You can run the new end-the-turn card from AKH if you want to copy Final Fortune.

you could go the route of making nissa as big as possible, then dropping a huge creature every turn. that would entail eldrazi's and a lot of mana ramping.

a second option would be to try and scry as often as possible. that way you can turn your deck into a very specific combo deck with intricate interactions that you can replicate relatively consistently. i didn't quite filter for color, but here are some suggestions to get your mind going: Aqueous Form Battlewise Hoplite Catacomb Sifter Contraband Kingpin Curator of Mysteries Eyes of the Watcher Flamespeaker Adept Jace's Sanctum Knowledge and Power Lifecrafter's Bestiary Prescient Chimera Prognostic Sphinx Retreat to Coralhelm

Thanks guys! I'll make those changes and keep researching. I've only played standard up til now so I'm bound to be a bit behind the curve. Should Guttersnipe be abandoned as well after I replace Prescient Chimera and Prognostic Sphinx with lower cost creatures?

Cool idea and the low $ is awesome, +1! I haven't got much to suggest other than I'd swap out Call to Heel for either Voyage's End or Echoing Truth (I don't want you to give the opponent a card). Also if the budget can extend that far I'd recommend Remand over Cancel simply for the card-advantage. I'd probably look at swapping Prescient Chimera for Dungeon Geists too; if you go with the Geists (and have more Spirits in general) I'd really recommend Nebelgast Herald.

Also you definitely need some dual lands, such as Temple of Enlightenment or Glacial Fortress, because you're definitely going to have mana issues I think.

More common instant-matters cards: ... Nivix Cyclops, Peer Through Depths, Prescient Chimera, Pyre Hound, Scrivener, Send to Sleep, and Thermo-Alchemist.

Note that the Panoptic Mirror I recommended earlier is actually banned in EDH, my bad.

Maybe you want to consider Counterspell, or any of the following counterspells that include burn, either optional or guaranteed: Molten Influence, Mindswipe, Suffocating Blast, Izzet Charm, and Essence Backlash.
