The Izzet League. Impulsive and reckless. Masters of cutting-edge technology and magic. And when when their minds are focused on warfare, they can wreak havoc in ways many imagined impossible.
That is what this deck hopes to bring. Slinging spells, bringing out cheap experiments and wizards, controlling their opponents creatures and, with the help of Chandra, the Firebrand, doubling their spell power to further magnify the power of their creations.
This deck is all about synergy and responding to your opponent. Led by a wave of Delver of Secrets
' and
Nivmagus Elemental
's you can bring the damage early. Nivamgus Elemental is a great target for your countered spells, opponent counters your
Artful Dodge
, let's just exile it and drop a few counters on
Nivmagus Elemental
instead!
Hopefully, you can bring out a
Nivix Cyclops
or two backed by your resident planeswalker Chandra, the Firebrand. Cast a
Artful Dodge
, target your Cyclops, copy the spell with Chandra, the Firebrand and target your other Cyclops, all while giving them both +6/+0!
Sideboard wise I wasn't quite sure how to round it out. I wanted some counter spells in Dispel and some burn in Searing Spear. Dynacharge is cheap and can buff my creatures for that final push. After that I wasn't so sure, I had some Boros Reckoner's laying around and figured they would be a good sideboard in for some of the faster aggro or token decks out there.
Fluxcharger
is in there for games that manage to go a bit longer, and Tormod's Crypt is the generic graveyard hate.
This is my first foray into Izzet and any help would be appreciated! I hope to play this at FNM this week and will post how well I do, but hopefully I will get a few tips before then! If you like it, +1!
