Well with Possibility Storm you could cast the Dangerous half which is why I mentioned it. But since storm is sort of a gamble card and you don't like it's no problem what-so-ever.

I like the use of Nivmagus Elemental and I may try to include it in my deck, however I went 5-0 play testing against your deck with my Budget Izzet (Suggestions?) blitz deck. Granted 1 time yours got land screwed and another it got creature screwed so it's more like 3-0. It came crazy close to winning one game but then my combo killed you in 1 turn. I highly suggest adding Hidden Strings because it is amazing in this deck for so many reasons. I have 2 important questions: have you not updated your land base and why do you not use izzet guildgates? If you give a good argument I think I will lower mine to 2 or less.

It's probably mostly me knowing how to play my deck better than yours haha. Your deck looks solid for early wins as well.

fightkiing im sorry but im going to have to dissagree with you. i did so full proper play testing (my friends tried it and i tried it) it didnt beat mine once. im intrested to see how ur deck managed to beat me?

hmmmm interesting deck, how exactly does Nivmagus Elemental work? What does it mean exile an instant or sorcery? one in your graveyard or one in your hand?

Shadow_Fury says... #11

when you cast a spell you may trigger his ability and then the ability doesnt resolve. also the spell still counts as cast so the cyclops can still get his +3/+0

Sebweb says... #12

Holy crap, that seems good, but you pay to not use the spell, when there are cheep spells to give counters? Is it really worth it?

Shadow_Fury says... #13

yes, it wins really quickly

Perhaps its worth making a sideboard with some removal and counterspells in it. Especially the counterspells if only for more protection for your creatures against removal heavy decks. Mizzium Skin can only go so far.

Shadow_Fury says... #19

yeah, i do have a sideboard for this deck. ill enter it on list tommorrow morning

ExpectDragons says... #20

as an alternative to the Nivamgus Akroan Crusader could give you a stupidly good board state especially with young pyromancer out

Shadow_Fury says... #21

yeah. i have a problem with that. i am wanting to use my target spells on the cyclops and not really use them for so/diers, i like the suggestion of triton fortune hunter... but it is unfortunatly to slow. i am play testing and will make changes when i have decieded on the best budget ideas for this deck

Just wanted to say I am trying basically this deck at FNM so wish me luck. I am going to use some cipher too because it is awesome and fun. Hidden Strings makes people go :-l, "I guess you can do that."
