Best results are getting Impact Tremors out early and build up your army of Hangarback Walker, Thopter Engineer, Chief of the Foundry + Mirror Mockery , and Mirror Mockery + Whirler Rogue for some amazing results. Other than an endless stream of thopters (even more with Thopter Spy Network) you are able to use the Rogue's ability to make a creature unblockable protecting her and allowing more thopters each turn or even double up the Chief's buffs on existing thopters and other artifact creatures.

Izzet worth it? Let me work it.

Izzet worth it? Let me work it.

Turn 1: Not much is happening here other than preparing your mana base. Swiftwater Cliffs may be your highlight with one life and either Mountain or Island to start.

Turn 2: This is one of the most important turns and most definitely Impact Tremors should hit the battlefield. As a contingency plan you have Hangarback Walker to drop and start pumping.

Turn 3: The fun begins. If a Hangarback is on the battlefield it can get a buff from Chief of the Foundry or Ruination Guide . With Impact Tremors they hit everyone for one with them, or even hit everyone for 2 by casting Thopter Engineer.

Turn 4: Crank out the thopters! Choose to cast either Thopter Spy Network, Whirler Rogue, or Pia and Kiran Nalaar. If Mirror Mockery hasn't been used for defense you can cast it on anything from Turn 3.

Turn 5+: Mirror Mockery anything and everything that drops Thopters. Abuse the Whirler Rogue to make unblockable creatures for endless thopter drops to trigger Impact Tremors or high damage. If you have Thopter Spy Network out you should be generating flyers that are hopefully pumped and drawing cards. Exquisite Firecraft is there to help burn creatures/players. There's also a little dash of Kolaghan Forerunners for more damage depending on how many creatures and he triggers impact tremors as well.

The best part of this deck is blowing things up. Thanks for all your help in making it as fun as it is and winning me packs!
