With the new Theros set out I've decided to go back to izzet since the new red wrath is pretty potent against aggro decks or decks with lots of planeswalkers.
Here's the first version of this deck, I'm still working on tweaking it a bit more, also the sideboard is very weird right now.
If you have any brazen borrower you can probably fit a couple of those in as well.
The deck is simple, trying to stall until midgame when Ral can come on board and copy one of the big spells for the win, either Inescapable blaze or electrodominance.
I know the blue omen is not a combo with kefnet but it's just too good not to put it in, if it really doesn't work I'll find another draw spell. Tectonic giant has been an MVP so far, I may play 3 of him instead of purphoros' intervention actually if he is not dealt with he can take over the game and deal a lot of damage.
The sideboard has a playset of storm's wrath to deal with aggro decks plus whatever is also in the mainboard, and the rest of it is to deal with control or mid-range decks.

I changed shock to lava coil because nightmare shepherd and questing beast are cards. I also added stern dismissal because Gideon is a card, as is Rotting Regisaur and I need more early interactive spells.
Let me know what you think, I want to tweak the list a bit more and take it FNM this coming week.
