---

When I play this deck, my goal is to burn everything and everybody, ending the game by dealing lethal damage to myself and each other player. Mizzix's ability is extremely helpful, going from good to infinite at about 4 EXP thanks to a few crucial spells. Sometimes you want to actually win, and that's as easy as 1,2,3.

Firemind's Foresight combo

• 1- Brainstorm or Whispers of the Muse
• 2- Reality Spasm or Reset
• 3- Reiterate

This classic combo is lacking a Lightning Bolt in the deck, so just draw until you hit the finisher you need. Plenty of "plan b" builds to get you going. This combo is fast and consistent. The only piece that can't be replaced is Reiterate.

But sometimes Jester's Cap takes your combo. This is where Mizzix's synergy with buyback really comes through. Copying a Turnabout creates heaps of mana, and with a few counters on Mizzix Whispers of the Muse quickly racks up a storm count of +25. Mizzix's Mastery to do it all again, and Sphinx-Bone Wand or Ignite Memories easily finish the game.

But sometimes pesky Selesnya mages get in our way. Repercussion can wrap a game up immediately. With Blasphemous Act its lights out, and Arcbond+Comet Storm hits for 9999 every time. Radiate an Arcbond during combat to kill everything and everyone out of nowhere.

And for when times get truly unfortunate, when the blue mage has muddled all your mixtures, you have one route left. Part the Waterveil+Radiate should buy you a few turns to pull your game together.
