A control based Izzet deck that relies on Sarkhan, and swinging in with a big dragon (or two), to get the win. The main focus for the big dragon hitters is that you benefit from attack/combat damage triggers which can potentially trigger twice with Sarkhan when the Dragon is deployed and attacks immediately.

There are some cheeky strategies in the deck, which revolves around making a copy of the dragons to get even more triggers, or using copies to benefit from some of the death triggers which will immediately take effect when the Legend rule applies.

Pretty much budget based on the land choices and even for the big hitter dragons, I did not want to exceed the $20 margin, which is why the deck does not have powerhouse dragons like Ancient Silver Dragon and Ancient Copper Dragon, or the more powerhouse treasure generators like Dockside Extortionist and Ragavan.
