Guild Gates Slowing Me Down —June 21, 2019
OK I have played a few games online with this deck and I feel like I am getting swamped early on as I cant get enough mana out in time to use my instants and sorcery spells to stop my opponent from building an army and killing me before I have even had a chance of laying a glove on him.
I think the Izzet Guildgate is slowing me down as it enters the battlefield tapped so should I pull them out and just replace with standard lands?
I did also add some cards that amass like Honor the God-Pharaoh and Invade the City that hopefully will stem the flow of damage I am taking and get me to the point where I can get Niv-Mizzet, Parun out
Please feel free to give me some feedback on this as it is confusing my noob mind as to how to deal with this.

Thanks for the info, as I said I am grateful for any help people can give. I will try and get the cards you mentioned and add them, I have another Niv-Mizzet, Parun on its way to me so will get that up to three like you said. Thanks for the tip on Izzet Boilerworks I guess I should replace that with another Sulfur Falls

Update: I have added a number of cards that I needed in the way of a couple more Ral, Storm Conduit and another Niv-Mizzet, Parun and three more Opt and finally some more Sulfur Falls . I think its starting to take shape now but would once again appreciate any feedback

Firstly if you plan to build your deck around a single card have 3 them in it. Even with the amount of cards search you have, it still makes it far safer. Also I think adding more Sinister Sabotage instead of No Escape as at 3 mana you usually want the versatility of "counter target spell". Also I'd take a look at your 1 or 2 off's and see if maybe you can take some of them out and instead increase the amount of some other cards. People often make the mistake of filling their deck with 1 off's which usually leads to a very unpredictable and chaotic hand(which isn't what you usually want). Although I am not saying remove all 1 off's, they can still be useful.
Also if you want to make a Standard legal deck the know that Izzet Boilerworks isn't standard legal
