The goal is to stall the early game with burn and counters and then swing for the win with the Chimeras and Stormbreaths.

Let your opponent choose the lesser of three evils between the Young Pyromancer, Guttersnipe, and Spellheart Chimera. Let them burn out their removal spells on the Pyromancers and Guttersnipes so you can safely land a Chimera late game for a 1-2 turn win. If they don't remove the Pyromancers or Guttersnipes, they can each win the game on their own.

Izzet Charm, Quicken, and Steam Augury allow you to dig deep for what you need, and shovel through instants / sorceries to pump your Chimera. Stormbreath is secondary win condition in late game if Chimera's are not cutting it. Could also use AEtherling here but I couldn't get my hands on any.
