Izzet Blitz 30/11/16 (Pauper)

I originally copied this list from Magic Online player lupi. We played several times online and got to talking about the list. lupi said Delver was underwhelming, I feel the same. Mage-Ring Bully is a possible replacement, but as of yet, I haven't bothered trying any alternatives to Delver.

I like all of the singletons and in general the spells seem very solid. One thing that might no longer be good enough is the Brainstorm, although I'm not ruling out the possibility that it should be another Gush anyway.

The manabae is also not fully developed yet. I am not super impressed by Evolving Wilds and Swiftwater Cliffs is likely worse than Crumbling Vestige, which I'm currently trying out. I really like untapped red mana. Speaking of which, I wasn't aware of Ash Barrens when I was playing this deck; it's possible that it's the best option though.

With the addition of Expedite for decks that rely on sorcery-speed removal, it happens frequently that I want triple red in one turn. This is very hard to come by with just four Mountains, given how hard it is to draw into untapped red mana in the combo turn.

The sideboard is also not super solid yet. In many matchups you don't really need anything and there's nothing you want to board out either. Flaring Pain helps against Tron and other decks that rely on Circle of Protection: Red, but it also works against the green decks that board Tangle against us. I can easily see myself running an extra copy. Smelt for example is not very useful giving how the Affinity matchup already is.
