You're opponent can counter your spell in response to Izzet's activation, can't he? (that's what I was originally thinking of)
You target the spell, than your opponent counters it in response, then you have no legal targets anymore.
Anyway, I know his ability is awesomely powerful. Just don't think it's worthy the slot, unless, as I said, in decks like Fish where everything is a little threat.

well yes, but remember that when you play a spell first your opponent has a chance to cast instants, then you can, if either of you DOES use an abiltiy or cast an instant, then the cycle repeats and the other player can respond etc, then the person who cast the spell.
If you choose not to use an ability or instant than it resolves. Now if you DO (as in use guildmage ability or something else) THEN your opponent can respond, and counter it. But if they pass their 1st chance to counter it in anticipation that you will copy,, and you end up NOT copying it, then they're pretty much screwed then aren't they? Becasue then nobody can respond anymore and the spell resolves.
and if they counter it at thier first chance, then you can just copy in response, the copy resolves, then the counter resolves countering the original.
