Izzet Pirates (Standard)

Flying and unblockable pirates with removal and counterspell backup.

This is a midrange deck designed to remove and counter the opponents threats while gradually taking then down with evasive attackers.
It can also act as an aggro deck it it gets the right draws.

Creatures:
Siren Stormtamer is a cheap pirate with flying that can also protect other pirates.
Fanatical Firebrand is another cheap pirate that can start getting damage in and also combos well with Warkite Marauder.
Warkite Marauder is flying and can remove a flying blocker whenever it attacks and it's ability works well with all the damage based removal.
Kari Zev, Skyship Raider is a good value pirate which can be difficult to block.
Storm Fleet Sprinter is a key creature of the deck, it gets in quickly and can't be blocked.
Captain Lannery Storm can generate treasure to help pay for removal or counter spells.
Dreamcaller Siren provides some great tempo by removing 2 attackers but can also be used to remove blockers.

Other:
Fell Flagship buffs the whole team and provides a discard threat.
Curious Obsession is the draw engine for this deck, with so many evasive and unblockabe creatures it is fairly easy to trigger.
Shock and Lightning Strike make up the removal.
Lookout's Dispersal is a 2 mana counter spell for most of the game.

Sideboard:
Abrade comes in when extra removal is required against aggro or when you need an answer to artifacts.
Jace, Cunning Castaway also benefits from the evasive creatures to trigger his effect to help smooth out draws.
Fiery Cannonade provides a one sided sweeper for against aggro or go wide decks.
Insult // Injury in for against Turbo Fog as it can nullify a fog and get in extra damage.
Banefire is for against control as an uncounterable finisher.
Negate, Spell Pierce and Admiral's Order provide some more counters for against control.
