Infinite combo wins aren't fun. You play a one mana enchantment on Niv Mizzet, you tap him, you go infinite, and you leave the table. You could get the satisfaction of winning, I suppose, but tutoring out a one mana enchantment to go infinite just isn't fun.

And Dracogenius both sounds, looks, and plays badly. No me gusta.

So I'm putting together a cheap (ish) non-combo Firemind deck for those of us that love Izzet, and want to play this deck, but don't want to win and piss everyone else at the table off.
