MTG Arena Best Izzet Decks, mtga Best Izzet Decks, Dragon guild leader of Izzet
Niv Mizzet welcomes you to the guild of blue and red


The rage of red and the draw of power of blue. The Izzet League believes when asked how much power you need the answer should always be “More”. This color combo allows for aggressive or oppressive approaches to the game. With this pair we can burn as we learn new information that will help lead us to victory. Every game is a chance to test our knowledge and jumpstart our path to mythic. Here are the top Izzet decks you can face out in the arena.

4)Shark attack

Of all the fears of the skies who would’ve expected sharks?
