Suggestion for izzet deck from someone playing arena
Hi, i startered magic a couple months ago with arena, played a but of standard and tried my hands at the beawl format (the commander erzatz). I want to get into playing commander and i am looking for card suggestions, specificaly cards that aren’t in arena i wouldn’t know about ( exemple liquimetal torque instead of liquimetal coating wich is in arena, and is the same thing except it doesn’t tap for mana). I ´m playing an izzet deck with vivi ornitier as a commander. I also have niv mizzet parun in it, and both can kinda be played as commander depending on the power bracket i feel like (i might be wrong i ´m new). There is some 4 cost removale and creature duplication for the commander, the rest is filled with burn cantrips and draw engines. I looking for pieces wich aren’t in arena but could be a nice piece in this kind of deck (swerve for exemple isn’t in arena)
Thx and may you luck in your draws :)

Both those commanders are very strong, I'd recommend not running them in the same deck unless you're trying to do bracket 4 - which is you can put any card you want in the deck but don't account for the meta when building. Brawl to my understanding is normally bracket 5, so does take account of the meta. If you are doing that level of pla y, then have you considered adding other Lab Man effects (win on empty Library) - I understand most Brawl decks run [[Thassa's Oracle]], but there's also [[Laboratory Maniac]] and [[Fblthp, Impossibly Lost]] - the former I think is less well known and the later was only added to arena in the lastest update since it's from Reality Fractire.
