Mizzix of the Izmagnus

Deck by Joseph of Casually Competitive

This Mizzix build is a very control focused deck. Since there isn't a direct line for victory in the command zone and the wincons aren't super easy to tutor, slowing and stopping your opponents goes a long way. This deck has a definite power ceiling so be aware of that when looking into building it.

Cards needed & Prerequisites to begin the loop

  1. Underworld Breach
  2. Brain Freeze
  3. Spell that nets mana when cast (Lotus Petal, Lion's Eye Diamond, Turnabout, etc)
  4. 1+ Mizzix Counter is recommended (not required, just increases the loop by )

Loop

  1. Cast Underworld Breach for
  2. Cast your mana generator, for this example we will use Lotus Petal
  3. Sacrifice Lotus Petal for
  4. Cast Brain Freeze for targeting yourself, milling 9+ cards
  5. Replay Lotus Petal, exiling 3 non-essential cards
  6. Repeat loop until the either needed combo cards are in your graveyard or there is a high enough storm count to mill your opponents

Cards needed & Prerequisites to begin the loop

  1. Reiterate
  2. A mana generator / ritual (Turnabout, Pyretic Ritual, Reality Spasm, etc)
  3. 4 counters from Mizzix of the Izmagnus or a way to get 4 counters
  4. An infinite mana outlet (Searing Touch, Capsize + Nexus of Fate, Blue Sun's Zenith)

Loop

  1. Cast your mana generator, for this example we will use Turnabout for , floating any available mana in reponse
  2. Hold priority and cast Reiterate for , paying for the buyback for free due to the Mizzix counters, copying the Turnabout
  3. Resolve Turnabout, untapping your lands, and then in response to the original Turnabout, re-cast Reiterate again buying it back
  4. Once infinite mana is generated dump it into a payout (Searing Touch, Capsize + Nexus of Fate, Blue Sun's Zenith

NOTE: Any spell can be looped in this way once the infinite mana has been generated

  2. Runic Repetition
  3. A mana generator that can produce blue (Turnabout, Reality Spasm)

  2. Cast Mystic Retrieval for targeting the mana generator
  3. Recast the mana generator for
  4. Flashback Mystic Retrieval for targeting the mana generator
  5. Cast Runic Repetition for , returning Mystic Retrieval to your hand

  9. Continue this loop, floating mana in response to every Turnabout cast to generate infinite mana
  10. Dump the infinite mana into a payout (Searing Touch, Capsize + Nexus of Fate, Blue Sun's Zenith

NOTE: This combo is not currently maindeck due to the mana and other resource requirements
