This is just an idea for an izzet deck I had. I have all of these cards (except for guttersnipe, obviously) so its a freebie sorta thing.
CREATURES: Cinder pyromancer x4 Gelectrode x4 Guttersnipe x4
SPELLS: Lightning bolt x4 Shock x4 Reverberate x2 Faithless looting x4 Thunderous wrath x4 Brainstorm x4 Cackling counterpart x4
ENCHANTMENTS: Dual casting x2 (I want 4) Pyrohemia x2 (until I get the other 2 dual casting)
ARTIFACTS: Isochron scepter x1 Elixir of immortality x1
LANDS: Izzet boilerworks x4 Islands x6 Mountains x10
Let me know what you think. I have 4 gutshots that I want in. I may take out two faithless lootings and two thunderous wraths. But, just a casual deck.

Also you could take out Thunderous Wrath and Brainstorm for Preordain and another spell. I think it would make the deck less clunky overall.

Sorry for not auto-carding. I'm on my iPhone and having just moved into a new apt, don't have the nets there. So, first off, thanks for your input. You've made me realize that the cards "rewind" and "frantic search" can be paid with two izzet b-works and then untap 3 and 4 of them, respectively. Second, how would this work (and would it be viable) to have "dual casting" and "freed from the real" on the guttersnipe. In my head it works like this: pay 1 red and tap guttersnipe to copy, say, lightning bolt. Then tap an izzet boilerworks copy get a red and a blue to untap guttersnipe and immediately tap him again to make a second copy. Is this how it would work? So with 2 mountains I could cast lightning bolt and copy it, then say two b-works to untap and copy two more times, turning a 3 damage bolt into a 12 damage mess? That's my quandary right now, sorry for being a noob!

Yeah, you can do that with Freed. However I think you'd rather put your Dual Casting on something like Gelectrode or Blistercoil Weird, since those untap a bunch naturally.

boilerworks is a terrible mana fixer don't ever use it over something like shivan reef . you don't want anything thats going to make you discard cards either because each spell is precious you want solid hard draw spells. why you don't have isochron scepter there ill never know it can cache any spell to trigger those cast triggers over and over and something like card draw or burn to get those cards moving.
The Karoos provide you with extra cards and extra mana, both things you want in a combo deck. Isochron Scepter is unnecessary and just makes your deck more fragile.
