I do think this build would improve overall with that change.

Surgical is more flexible than leyline, works better against combo and tron, and is a free instant to recurring pheonix?

This deck was built specifically with Leyline in mind, but I was impressed by discard into Phoenix. I think blue is great in the deck because of Thing (which gives it so much game against so many decks) and the cantrips (which enable its consistency). My issue with Rakdos on paper is that it’s less good at doing its thing. We’d also need another threat to compliment Phoenix, and nothing will come close to Thing.

Your build is too fair. Pheonix is an unfair card and should be broken as much as possible. I think izzet pheonix is not stretching the possibility of arclight pheonix
