I was looking at her more towards Mizzix for TL. Not sure how well she fits in a general Mizzix deck I mean generally speaking if you don't have her by turn 3 you won't cast her at all. Not to mention is removed far too easily I think you are better sticking to inst/sorc draw spells. That full art is amazing though.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying - Fragile and possibly too slow. I'll test her out to see how she fares.

Goblin Electromancer, I don't know how that I'd in EDH, but paying one less for each instant and sorcery is pretty nice. It'd better if combo'd with Guttersnipe!

He's definitely on theme Atony1400 - An Izzet goblin wizard...Perhaps the less successful younger brother of Mizzix, heh. I'm thinking of incorporating a very minor wizard sub-theme (only 3 or 4 wizards: Dualcaster Mage, Talrand, Sky Summoner, Snapcaster Mage & Jori En, Ruin Diver - I like the idea of potential Riptide Laboratory shenanigans with Dualcaster & Snappy) so perhaps this little freak will make the cut as well.

Forkbeard, He's awesome in my deck How to CounterBurn, so he might be great here as well. Nivix Cyclops is great too!

Reins of Power could be decent little blow out in 1v1 matches, I will certainly consider it. Thanks Etoilebane.

Feel like this needs some storm stuff. It just makes so much sense for the colors. Ignite Memories and Grapeshot, for instance. Also if you want value/spellslinging, Melek, Izzet Paragon is pretty great [and synergizes with storm really well if you decide you want to include some storm].
February 14, 2016 3:21 p.m.
I had Melek in here before and found him a little clunky tbh, but I like the idea of both of those storm cards, especially Ignite Memories - Thanks scaesura. Any thoughts as to what to take out?

Not sure entirely, but maaaaaybe you could drop either Treasure Cruise or All Is Dust for that? All is Dust seems like it could easily screw you as much as anyone else, as good of wipe as it is, and you already have Cyclonic Rift and a few other good wipe-ish effects in here.

Treasure Cruise is definitely up for debate. Card draw is key, but Ignite Memories seems like it could be a win-con on it's own. As for All Is Dust, my colored permanent count is a mere 6 so it definitely hurts my opponents more than it hurts me...Plus I can often cast it for free if the XP counters are there.
I appreciate the suggestions, cuts are getting tough! Some tricky decisions to make.
February 15, 2016 1:58 p.m.
True enough, on All Is Dust. Lands count toward that too though since it doesn't specify non-land permanents. So it really shuts down the table for a bit as well.
February 15, 2016 6:27 p.m.
Ah, but luckily lands are colorless. I hope your opponents haven't been making you sac your lands to All Is Dust for years!

Blast of Genius and Aethersnatchseem like they would be great in this deck.
April 15, 2016 2:37 p.m.
Thanks Eldrazi_shall_reign_supreme, much appreciated. Aethersnatch is certainly useful tech, but the casting cost is a bit of a concern. Obviously not a problem if there's enough XP counters out...I slotted in Misdirection instead but I may need to reconsider this card and give it a whirl. Same thing with Blast of Genius - Awesome effect, prohibitive CC. I'm going to play-test both and see how it goes.

No problem Bro! I also thought that Cloven Casting might be a great way to make the game impossible for your opponents but, like you said, the mana cost may be a bit to pricy. My only other suggestion would be Spellheart Chimera. Other than that, good luck!

And also Psychic Spiral needs to be here.
April 17, 2016 10:14 p.m.
I currently only have 2 multicoloured spells in the deck so I couldn't take advantage of Cloven Casting - Funny card though, I dig it. Psychic Spiral is definitely an interesting consideration.

I'm back! Tried Cast Through Time or Fevered Visions yet?
May 6, 2016 6:11 p.m.
Cast Through Time is certainly an awesome effect but much too pricey for a non-instant/sorcery - I need to keep that mana back for spells. Fevered Visions doesn't really do enough work, but I love that art!

I know it's not a wizard, and I know you're trying to keep creatures to a minimum, but have you thought about Psychosis Crawler?
May 14, 2016 4:11 p.m.
Ownagemaster, I totally have. Excellent synergy with all the card draw and a potential win condition on it's own. I think I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, thanks for the suggestion.

Ooh there's a shiny full art as well:
