Maybe an Elite Arcanist or two if you can get your hands on them?

Eh. It's slow and clunky and has a weak body. I'll most likely end up just wasting 4 mana and a spell

I don't really know what to say other than suggest Storm-ing it out with some Manamorphose
, Desperate Ritual
and the like. It looks like a pretty solid Pyromancer Ascension
build.
Could probably use some recursion like Call to Mind or the amazing Mystic Retrieval ...cheaper flashback? Yes please!
August 19, 2013 1:28 a.m.
nah. don't exactly like the storm route. friend has a storm deck that none of us like... umm... what do you suggest removing for Mystic Retrieval ?

1 Scepter and 1 Delver? Or maybe a Chandra instead of the scepter? Not 100% sure, what do you think?
August 19, 2013 1:37 a.m.
hmm... i think i'm going to have to say no to those suggestions. the 2 people i play with most use goblin and ally so i have to get rid of them as fast as i can and these would only slow me down. thanks guys! +1 if you didn't?

I think I like Chandra, the Firebrand over Pyromaster simply for her -2. Toss her out and ping her up until you need a double Preordain to really stack the deck.
Also it's a little expensive for your curve, but Panoptic Mirror can really give you some help (not to mention infinite turns).
August 20, 2013 1:09 a.m.
did you realize that pyromaster says to cast the copies. that could mean a world of difference in a pyromancer ascension deck. and true to the mirror and i'll think about it but like you said, i think it's too slow
August 20, 2013 2:31 a.m.
I wonder how Isochron Scepter would do in this deck. Have you tried it?
October 20, 2013 12:25 a.m.
Actually, I have. However, once again, it's just too slow to make the cut. If I can outpace my friends and still enable to use this, I would but as it stands, this isn't fast enough so I left it out for now
October 20, 2013 1:54 a.m.
Why is the sceptre too slow? Two mana to drop it with two open to use it and if you use a spell like Negate it protects itself. Artifacts don't get summoning sickness.

All the suggestions of Echo Mage etc are irrelevant for this deck because playing a copy of a spell doesn't actually count as casting unless it specifically says "cast". So it wont add to your Pyromancer Ascension

I know it's a little steep for casual but Scalding Tarn ?
Also, Call to Mind played a vital role in this deck when it was in standard.
December 9, 2013 10:59 a.m.
Izzetsane- when you're playing against a goblin deck and an ally deck, you want to be killing their creatures as soon as they come out
BIGBADBRRRAP- exactly
MindAblaze!- yeah. its too steep for casual. i would add them in if i had them though. i remember call to mind but i think my cantrips do a good enough job of filtering my deck for what i need. thanks though!

Then grab yourself a playset of Izzet Charm to imprint. The charm can protect the sceptre early game, kill probably 90% of goblins and give you card filter that doesn't cost a card late game.

One more point as far as Call to Mind goes, it's more for reusing stuff once your Ascension is active. 3 mana to pick up two cards, one being say...Time Warp the other being Call to Mind ...or you know...two Lightning Bolt s
December 13, 2013 4:06 p.m.
I'd probably take Mystic Retrieval over Call to Mind though.
December 13, 2013 4:08 p.m.
MindAblaze says... #20
Yeah, the Flashback makes Mystic Retrieval
awesome for that job, even if it's more expensive to hardcast.

Might as well add Monastery Swiftspear, and Young Pyromancer

maybe remove some if not all Steam Vents, they are likely either hitting your life or slowing you down unless theres something I'm missing. Id replace Chandra, Pyromaster with Chandra, Flamecaller she screams "control", +1 ability lets rip 2 3/1 every turn which forces the opponent to block those, 0 ability is "draw a card" if nothings in your hand or if you want to add SOI cards with a madness cost you may play those as you discard, then restock your hand. Another card I have been considering is Ancestral Vision I know its stupid expensive though.

I love the idea, to bad I know nothing of about Izzet to help you out. +1 one from for creativity.
