I'm gonna pop some tags...

Introduction

Welcome to the thrift shop! Mizzix loves some major discounts and can't wait to pop some tags with her $20 bill. This is my spellslinger Mizzix of the Izmagnus deck centered around the card Thousand-Year Storm and thievery. It has been a blast to pilot and games can go differently every time I take her out for a spin. This is probably the most challenging deck to brew due to multiple angles you can approach her therefore I will be constantly tweaking her the more I playtest.

My Meta

My playgroup ranges from optimized to focused tier that consists of mostly midrange valuetown like Meren of Clan Nel Toth and aggro strategies like Ezuri, Claw of Progress . This means that I would need to play Mizzix conservatively with as much protection as possible.

My Deck

I've made this deck in a way that is less dependent on Mizzix since she is a removal magnet. The only time I would play her is when I have ways to protect her since recasting her is going to take a lot of my resources. This deck is pretty difficult to pilot and mistakes can be unforgiving under some circumstances. Being political certainly helps with Mizzix's success. Playing archenemy should be expected if the pod is not prepared for Mizzix. This deck is pretty adaptive and can mold into most pods without any problem. In a casual pod, Mizzix can certainly lay low and play a more reactive role. Mizzix is one of my favorite commander and is a ton of fun to pilot.

...Only got twenty dollars in my pocket

Shopping at the Thrift Store

Things are cheap at the thrift store. See that fancy Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Avacyn, Angel of Hope in play that you know you can't afford in actuality? Get it for a significant discounted price of with your Gilded Drake discount coupon. Reuse that coupon again with Capsize if you're feeling feisty. See that fancy toy behind the cashier but can't afford it? Bribery her with $20 to get it. Need to rent a win condition or blockers at a pinch? Sure, let me borrow those creatures with Reins of Power for just one quickie!

The Ultimate Recursion Package

Mystic Retrieval + Runic Repetition form a repeatable loop that nets you one spell returned to your hand. This combo costs without the spell cost reduction provided by Mizzix. It is reduced to as little as when Mizzix is in play with 3 experience counters. This combo can be fetched with Intuition , along with any card to recur. Time Warp and Reality Spasm are game ending spells as a secondary backup wincon for the Reiterate combo.

Thousand-Year Storm

Thousand-Year Storm gave this deck a way to storm out indefinitely with Mizzix in play. You essentially want mana regeneration like Turnabout and ways to draw to continue the storm. Cards like Whispers of the Muse is insane in the storm chain. Ending the turn with multiple copies of extra turn spells like Nexus of Fate is the goal to keep the storm going. With a token generator like Metallurgic Summonings in play, we can end up with an inordinate amount of tokens/damage per turn.

Popping those Tags

There are multiple ways this deck can win in which spellslinging with Metallurgic Summonings producing a massive army of tokens are common. There is also an instant win combo involving Reiterate to end the game:

• With at least 5 lands and 4 counters, cast Firemind's Foresight on someone's end step fetching Reiterate , Reality Spasm , and Lightning Bolt . Assuming you have at least four experience counters and Mizzix in play, you only need to float RRRUU. Cast Reality Spasm , in response Reiterate it with buyback. Let the copied Reality Spasm resolve, untap all your lands. Float all your mana again, Reiterate it with buyback, float mana, you now have infinite U/R mana and storm count. Then cast Searing Touch with buyback as many times as you like for infinite damage to everything else.

The following are my secondary win conditions which is essentially infinite turns. I will never deck out due to Nexus of Fate and will eventually create infinite tokens with Metallurgic Summonings or damage. Demonstrate the loop for your opponents to salt scoop:

• Mystic Retrieval + Runic Repetition + Time Warp = Infinite Turns (easier to pull off with Mizzix in play).

• Mystic Retrieval + Reality Spasm + Runic Repetition = Infinite Mana & Storm with Mizzix in play.

Discussion

Mizzix is a ton of fun and there's plenty of different ways to build her. It does seems that she tends to play archenemy if she wasn't stopped early game. With the printing of Thousand-Year Storm , I am revisiting Mizzix again with a ton of new ideas. The following are cards I'm currently testing out...

• Vedalken Shackles : Since I'm running a ton of islands, this card does some solid work in keeping troublesome creatures out of my opponent's reach.

• Wheel of Fortune : The guaranteed 7 card draw is nice but its interaction with Cyclonic Rift / Evacuation is why I'm testing this out.

• Learn from the Past : This card is pretty flexible and can act as graveyard hate or protection. With Thousand-Year Storm out, I can turn it into a pseudo- Timetwister effect with enough storm count.

+1 if y'all love some me some thrift shopping!
