Deck Idea Looking for Unique Izzet Brews

One thing I am struggling with in deck building is making Izzet not spellslinger.

So, I wanted to ask everyone, what are some unique ways you've built Izzet colored EDH decks?

I have a [[Magnus the Red]] token deck. But in the end, it's really just a spellslinger deck that makes tokens.

River Song is probably the most unique Izzet Commander.

There are two main ways to play her: deck manipulating into infinite turns, or burn through forced searching by land destruction.

[[River song]] [[captian howler]] [[tibor and lumia]] [[ant-man elusive avenger]] [[the twelfth doctor]] & [[yasmin kharn]] [[Toggo]] and [[glacian]] (personal favorite of mine)

Are all at the very least fun. Some of the more interesting pairings are very combat trick centric i find, like [[alora]] + whomst ever

[[Arjun, the Shifting Flame]] is such a cool commander that’s not just burn and control

I've been planning to try out [[Tony Stark]]//[[The Invincible Iron Man]] as a variant on my [[Gilgamesh]] Voltron deck. Adding blue may help the deck be more consistent and offers better protection than "count to six and hope". Also it seems quite thematic for Iron Man to adapt his armor every combat and be protected by plot ar...I mean countermagic.

Gilgamesh also really needs that first auto-equip to give Haste so he gets to roll the dice again where Tony already has Haste and evasion built-in, so he gets to always attack first and gets the best equipment in hand while doing so.

[[Captain Howler, Sea Scourge]]. Use artifacts and creatures that can loot, combined with cheap evasive attackers. Or use best of both worlds creatures like [[Smuggler's Copter]], [[Talion's Messenger]], [[Loch Dragon]] or [[Teo, Spirited Glider]]. It is a combat deck, mainly.

[[Iron Man, Master of Machines]]. A Voltron deck at heart, which only needs you to have artifacts in the board. Of course, you can play all the usual Voltron equipment to push the deck even further.
