Izzet charm is to bin a fatty for Unburial rites, I think it's pretty essential. This also means that taking out another unburial rites lowers the chance of being able to discard one.

The reason I'm running 3 boardwipes (day, Supreme, wrath) is so I can search up all 3 and something else with Gifts, and always draw one. Because of this, taking out a day and putting in another Supreme verdict is counter productive.

I agree, it should have more bolts, but in this deck, bolt would be used most of the time as early game creature removal. If that's the case, why not just run Izzet charms (creature removal or counter or to bin the combo), lightning helix (removes a creature and gains life to make it to the lategame), and path (removes every creature, not just anything with 3 or fewer toughness).

I could see myself possibly going down an unburial rites, if I can reliably get the Gifts engine up and I have a weak early game, but I won't know until I playtest more.

Thanks for your input!
