I ended up getting a champs Niv-Mizzet recently so I wanted to make a interesting and non combo deck for my casual playgroup. Niv-Mizzet was my first ever general but because of the stigma of his comboness I soon dropped him for a less hated general. I ended up making a Wizards and Dragons Theme to make it interesting leaving out cards such as Psychosis Crawler and Consecrated Sphinx which would seem like auto includes. Ten Dragons, Ten Wizards not counting The Commander who is both.
So here is the deck. Open to all suggestions please don't bother with pointing out Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, or the new Soulbond guy. I know what they do and avoided them for that reason.
I am open to total revamp if people have an interesting theme or deck idea. The most important part I want the deck to be fun to play and non linear as possible for a different play experience every time.

Looking at a few cards from AVR such as:
Here's a few suggestions (that preserve the character of your deck):
- 1 Shattering Pulse + 1 Shattering Spree - strictly better IMO
My current set of mana accel is such:
Copies:
I like the moxes because they are free. Izzet typically has a lot of cards in hand so the drawback should be less of a drawback.
I like the copies because they copy the best stuff. Having 4 gilded lotuses on board is pretty awesome.
Also, Chaos Warp is an instant FYI
