non-budget minus scalding tarn. I know the companion does not work post-board if i bring in anger and//or ashiok, but those cards have a high enough impact that its worth forgoing the companion. Losing faithless looting hurts the deck a lot, but izzet burbs was always a Thing in the Ice   deck. I also have a lot of experience playing storm, Aria of Flame is such a good win-con in storm sometimes its correct to board out grapeshot. This deck can string together a ton of cantrips together making it super easy to kill with aria. Dreadhoard arcanist is experimental, ive played with a lot of cards in the slot before, Crackling Drake or God-Eternal Kefnet were always great in that slot, but I am unable to run either due to the companion restriction. Any conversation about the deck is welcome.
