Trying to play my favorite colors in a competitive fashion. This deck was my first take on this color combo, and I have had a lot of success out of my Izzet Tempo deck. I'm wondering if I'm bringing enough threats, and how I could improve the list overall for this control type deck.

Edits: Through the great thoughts of the commenters below I have trimmed the lands to include some more solid threats for game one. Also, the card draw from Pull from Tomorrow is such a clutch finish turn four or five.

Game Plan:The plan is to win out game one with control up until I can beat their face in with the Torrential Gearhulk or Kefnet the Mindful. After game one I would side in my Fevered Visions to prepare for any artifact hate that they bring in to get rid of it. Also, along the same vein, I bring in the Chandra, Torch of Defiances as yet another win condition. Confiscation Coup comes in for any deck running creatures as a way to swing the game into my favor after they play a decent enough threat. Dispels are for control match ups, and I assume you know what the Sweltering Suns and Release the Gremlins are for.
