An attempt at a budget Izzet commander deck.

The concept is simple: Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind to go infinite, with enough creatures to keep your opponents busy. But true to form, the Firemind has some contingency plans. Control cards to allow Plan A to clear onto the field, or, failing that, a backup method to produce the same combo with Ophidian Eye. If all else fails, the deck can serve as a traditional burn deck.

This was basically just a little fun throw-together for my table. The challenge was to keep the average cost less than $50. The deck would be well-served by more expensive inclusions. Yet to playtest, so I may make some tweaks myself.

Open to feedback, but be gentle. I'm a novice at deck construction at best :)
