I ended up going Izzet although wasted a pick in P2p1 on an Amarda Wurm as I needed one for my collection. I ended up with a fairly strong deckI'm not sure the Izzet Keyrune is good enough. I would cut that.I don't think the Dramatic Rescue is worth it as a splash since it's a timing-dependant card. I think it's more important to have a rock-solid mana base for those three turn-2 Goblin Elehttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29759775/Izzet_-_22nd_and_23rd_cards?post_id=528801779#528801779I'm not sure the Izzet Keyrune is good enough.

Batterhorn is pretty bad from a value perspective, but often times having that 4 power in the ground is pretty relevant, moreso with Pursuit of Flight in the mix.

Backlash will only ever deal 5 damage here.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29759775/Izzet_-_22nd_and_23rd_cards?post_id=528792031#528792031Note, that if you counter the Hellsteed with Essence Backlash, your opponent never gets to the point of choosing to unleash it or not.

But it isn't something to splash for by any means, and it is at its best as tempo in Azorius!http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29759775/Izzet_-_22nd_and_23rd_cards?post_id=528782943#528782943Dramatic Rescue is a fine card.

I really rate this card and the one time I played it it was a game-changer but maybe I am overrating it.In terms of the cards, I would certainly not get rid of Essence Backlash, which was mhttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29759775/Izzet_-_22nd_and_23rd_cards?post_id=528782459#528782459It's really interesting that everyone would cut the Rescue.
