Izzet was my first standard deck, so it seems fitting that it becomes my first EDH. Niv-Mizzet is the best card in existence and there is no argument that could possibly go against this, it's just true and you have to live with it, sorry. General format is control/burn creatures early then get out permanents to give card draw with Niv-Mizzet doing damage then get out some big creatures and have some fun. Dragons are pretty. Counters are always fun and the opponent should always ask permission to cast spells. What do we say to the god of resolving? Not today! Only way to win is to get out both Niv-Mizzets and have them do some ultimate fist bump of awesomeness that automatically wins the game, but only if you believe.

OK, anyway...this deck operates a little different than normal izzet instants/sorceries. The goal is to be able to outlast the opponent with card advantage and answers. It's a little creature heavy for izzet just because I didn't want to have to completely rely on Niv-MIzzet being in play to win. I want to be able to win by drawing or swinging. As the game goes on, the deck should have advantage just from not losing steam.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
