Izzet Prowess is a near-mirror that chains cantrips for burst kills. Hydro-Man provides a resilient blocker, and Sear handles their key creatures. The matchup rewards tight sequencing.
Mono-Green Landfall goes wide with landfall triggers. Pyroclasm sweeps their early board, and Broadside Barrage can finish off larger threats. Keep their engine pieces off the board with burn.
Izzet Lessons (49% win rate) is a slightly unfavorable matchup where their Monument to Endurance and Gran-Gran generate more card advantage than your spell-based engine. Annul is key for shutting down Monument to Endurance and Artist's Talent at instant speed. Disdainful Stroke and Negate counter their expensive haymakers including Firebending Lesson payoffs and Accumulate Wisdom. Hydro-Man, Fluid Felon provides an additional threat with evasion that's hard to interact with. Abrade and Sear lose value since they play few small creatures, Multiversal Passage is slow, Bounce Off is too conditional, and Abandon Attachments has diminishing returns when they run many enchantments you can't efficiently answer.
