I'm trying to build a legitimate standard deck for about $20. This is what I have so far.

Lands (23)

Island 9
Izzet Guildgate 3
Mountain 11

Creatures (15)

Ętherling 1
Goblin Electromancer 3
Guttersnipe 3
Hypersonic Dragon 1
Melek, Izzet Paragon 1
Nivix Cyclops 2
Spellheart Chimera 2
Young Pyromancer 2

Other spells (22)

Act of Treason 3
Bident of Thassa 1
Goblin Rally 1
Negate 4
Teleportal 3
Traitorous Instinct 3
Triton Tactics 3
Weapon Surge 4

Estimated cost: $19.44

The idea is to attack quickly, often using the opponent's creatures. If the game goes long, Ętherling is a tough attacker and Me lek expands your hand and increases efficiency. So far, it's been reliable, but can lose momentum with a couple bad draws. Any suggestions?

I seems like it wouldn't be able to handle something like an Esper control deck. You have a fair amount of creature stealing, but what if they aren't running creatures? Or if they are, what if they have hexproof? Do you have anything sideboarded that might be able to deal with that situation?
