Opened a bunch of good wizards, let's build wizard tribal in Brawl.

Updates after testing:

Deck was very counter-heavy and kind of control focused, which does not sinergize at all with Adeliz's ability's and is way worse than any truly control decks in the format. So i decided to go for a true tempo strategy and the deck performed way better! Also some of the less efficient wizards had to be cut, even tough they have sweet ETB-habilities that would sinergize well with Naban, Dean of Iteration it's not very often that we'll have him on the board since he, sadly, is not our Commander

Out

Bad Wizards:

• Academy Journeymage
• Firefist Adept
• Ghitu Chronicler

Counters:

• Censor
• Disallow
• Insidious Will
• Syncopate
• Spell Pierce

Others:

• Baral's Expertise
• Helm of the Host
• Fight with Fire

In

Better Wizards:

• Seeker of Insight : Looting is good and is pretty viable in this deck. He can still be a pretty good beater with Adeliz out wither
• Spellweaver Eternal: Double Triggers with Adeliz can get pretty busted now that we have cheaper spells, great on curve too.
• Nimble Obstructionist: We needed more Wizards with evasion and this one's ability is relevant for protection and combo shenanigans, besides instant speed.
• Riverwise Augur

JACEY BOY:

• Jace, Cunning Castaway

Cheaper Spells:

• Crash Through
• Warlord's Fury

Not that much cheaper spells:

• Karn's Temporal Sundering
• Commit // Memory

And there's no reason not to play Search for Azcanta
