Izzet Prowess chains cantrips to pump creatures for burst kills. Torpor Orb shuts off their triggered abilities, and Mossborn Hydra provides a resilient threat. Go wide faster than they can go tall.
Izzet Lessons is a tempo-control deck that uses Firebending Lesson and Artist's Talent to generate card advantage while disrupting your development with Abandon Attachments and Spell Snare. Meltstrider's Resolve comes in as a way to protect your key threats from removal and bounce effects like Boomerang Basics and Three Steps Ahead. Mossborn Hydra provides a resilient threat that can grow out of range of Combustion Technique and is difficult to answer cleanly through counter magic. Surrak, Elusive Hunter adds a hasty threat that can punish the opponent for tapping out on their turn. Webstrike Elite, Leatherhead, and a copy of Ba Sing Se come out since they are more fragile or situational against a deck with multiple interaction pieces that can negate their impact.
Izzet Spellementals plays tempo with elemental synergies and burn. Mossborn Hydra can't be easily burned out, and Meltstrider's Resolve protects your key creatures. Present a board that's too wide for their burn to handle.
