I need your help to improve my standard Izzet drakes deck. I played with it before rotation and it was good, but now I can't play key cards like sulfur falls, dive down and chart a course. I haven't had the opportunity to test it with friends or at my local game store. My main problem with the deck is that 8 lands enter the game tapped, and that makes my game slower; I can't afford 4x copies of Steam vents right now, but I'll replace 2x guildgates with Temple of epiphany as soon as I can get them, to get at least some value with the scry.

Need your advice to replace some cards and make it good against aggro decks or simic flash.
