I've been playing a ton of a version of Travis Woo's Izzet Goggles list. I feel like I honed in on a fine tuned version of that deck list (except for a budget land base).

For a while I have wanted to splash a third color into the mix, because I just kept needing outs that I did not have. Mainly the issues where big creatures and alternate win conditions.

I'm looking at Black as that color for the following, target creature removal, hand/deck manipulation, and semi budget.

The original deck plays heavy controling until a goggles is played, then it jumps ahead on card advantage. Everything before that point is to stall the game and dig through the deck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Budget $400 paper, $200 online)
