The main portion of the deck as the name implies is using Nivmagus Elemental and the 1 drop spells to power up the elemental early and start bashing in for three or more on turn two. The Slumbering Dragon is for stopping aggro decks early as they would regret attacking into it quickly. the weird is around for blocking or bashing in depending on the situation. The AEtherling is the finisher if my other creatures are failing on getting in. The planeswalkers are there for solid support, especially the jace and ral. chandra is for pumping out damage to enemies as much as she can before taken down. I am focusing more on using burn spells to beat my opponent to death instead of countering all their spells. Possibility Storm is there to mess with my opponent and also buff Nivmagus Elemental . When casting an instant or sorcery with both Nivmagus Elemental and possibility storm up, i can exile the spell to Nivmagus Elemental]] that is on the stack with possibility storm, then the second spell i then decide whether to cast or exile to nivmagus again. Possibility Storm also helps defensively stopping my opponents from casting X damage or life gain or what ever type of spells.

With the side board, depending on the situation, Civic Saber would help my weirds get strong without having to get too crazy with tapping land for frostburn or exiling spells for nivmagus. I have more counters if I find it hard to keep up with creature heavy decks or strong control decks. I have more creatures to add if it is necessary like the chemister, melek, and niv-mizzet. If i am going to side board in epic experiment i intend on taking out Possibility Storm because experiment would become more powerful late game and I don't want to experiment with possibility storm up.

The deck looks good to me and has worked well in play testing and i went 3 and 1 at my LGS during a standard night, but things can always be better. I would like some input on what would make this deck better. Thanks
