An Izzet Hidden Strings Nivmagus deck that uses Heroic and Cipher to try to overwhelm the opponent.

The idea is to get Trait Doctoring or Hidden Strings encoded on a creature, then get it through and trigger Heroes, Guttersnipes, and Young Pyromancers. Trait Doctoring basically doesn't do anything here (though it can fix your mana in a pinch), but you can let Nivmagus Elemental eat it, and it will still bring all of your Instant/Sorcery triggers online.

Hidden Strings is interesting, because it will be a free spell at worst, and it will trigger Heroic or let you drop extra 2-drops at best.
