ah Blotterhead I see what you're saying, I had completely forgotten about reveler's drawing effect. Silly me.

I mean you don't have to add Thing in the Ice  ^Flip but I'd switch probably at least 2 in instead of Avacyn's Judgment or something. With Thing you are paying for a turn two 0/4 blocker that then equates to a free board wipe spell that leaves you with a 7/8 for unblockable damage (If you have a reveler than it will be AT LEAST 4 more unblockable damage the turn it flips) I like to pair this with combat tricks that pump him and can finish the game in one turn. That might be straying from the point of this deck but I still the Thing in the Ice  ^Flip would be beneficial. It would also keep their hand full with their creatures when they bounce, leading to more damage from visions.

If you're interested, my izzet deck is U/R Gonna R/U This Day

So I tested out Thing in the Ice  ^Flip and it's not working for me. What's up there now seems pretty solid, although rise from the tides isn't a game changer or anything.

I would welcome thoughts on Insidious Will -- lots of fun could be had :)

Insidous will is great sideboard tech. Main deck is kind of meh with all the creature strategies right now. I do really like the blue rare that makes a copy of an artifact and a creature that is now also an artifact. It ruins strategies with gearhulks, vehichles get stolen, just lots of lols to go around.

If you think it could work, Dynavolt Tower is a pretty nice way to either ping your opponents or have a panic button. Metallurgic Summonings may also be up your alley, although I'd say it would probably raise the avg CMC a bit.

Hyperalgialysis - Thanks! Agreed -- what would you change on the sideboard to make room?

Dralnah - thx for the input. Dynavolt Tower sounds really fun, but with the tempo of the deck, I'm not sure it quite fits. But for fun's sake I'm going to throw it in tonight and do some testing.

And I'm still 50/50 on Rise from the Tides

You could probably drop nahiris wrath. I think you would like 2 copies of saheeli's artistry in the main in place of rise from the tides. Making 2 copies of a gearhulk or a copy of any artifact and any creature can be really impactful. Test it out I have had great results with it.

Hi pal been playing your list for sometime now, well my own version of it lol Izzet Control/Burn

Really rate Key to the City defo try this card it is awesome, I have dropped a Cathartic Reunion And the 2 Compelling Deterrence you use Disperse. for x2 Key to the City and main board x1 Kozilek's Return for creature aggro match up hate.

Also in the mana base I have added a 1 of Geier Reach Sanitarium pulled me out of some sticky situations lol. defo give Key to the City a go :)

Hyperalgialysis -- I've tried out Saheeli's Artistry -- it works better that expected, but seems i only ever copy gearhulk which has the same CMC lol -- i mean what am I going to be using this on? what should I be looking out for?

Also, I really am attached to nahiri -- destroys planeswalkers -- lets me play madness -- wipes giant creatures

majicman1979 - glad you're playing around with it! I've taken Kozilek's Return off the mainboard for now, but we'll see how the meta shapes up. Cathartic Reunion is tough for me sometimes. It seemed to be the better choice over Tormenting Voice now... but sometimes it really pisses me off lol

It really depends, the nice thing is the double gearhulk since you get 2 more. But I have been in tight spots and copied melded brisela and such. I look at it like I am making 2 gearhulk for 6 which is a good deal.

Hyperalgialysis -- well it works and I like it! :)

Problems I have come across with this Deck in my Meta, Sultai Emerge, these card in particular Haunted Dead & Prized Amalgam how do you beat this I have played against it now with a friend testing. 10 games stats Sultai 8 & Izzet 2 of the 8 won by Sultai 6 we're flat out 2-0, the issues faced no way to exile Haunted Dead. I was thinking of adding Incendiary Flow to the sideboard any ideas ?

Toss in summary dissmissal as a way to help exile as well as incendiary flow. Your sideboard should almost always be shaped to your meta, void shatter is another alternative. There is also horribly awry and I think another counter exile if countered this way spell. I think there is a red devoid that exiles too. I would only want a few copies of any answer to that problem but if you keep having trouble exile them for sure.

Blotterhead-please, I suggest playing one or two of Torrential Gearhulk. Here's one reason. I see you are running Saheeli's Artistry. If you cast or discard the artistry, when Torrential Gearhulk enters, you can cast Saheeli's Artistry from the grave, making two copies of Torrential Gearhulk or any other artifact creature, which is op. Also if you do that I suggest running Saheeli RaiTorrential Gearhulk can be such a bomb when they are attacking, as it can kill two of their creatures. It is also a great card to topdeck.Thanks

Guardians I didn't even see that combo wow

Guardians I don't see the combo? Saheeli's Artistry is a sorcery?

oops never mind, that doesn't work. thanks PipPipMagulager

Haha it's okay, you're good Guardians! I thought there was something I just wasn't seeing

Considering Summary Dismissal on mainboard. Thoughts?

Also, suggestions on sideboard replacement for Structural Distortion? Not working.

Lastly, considering reverting back to Tormenting Voice over Cathartic Reunion. I'm not exactly sure, but I don't seem to usually need to drop two cards and nearly impossible to get out against control since you lose 3 cards if it gets countered. Not sure.

Blotterhead I agree with you on Tormenting Voice over Cathartic Reunion I have found you have to lose to many cards you want to keep, and is awful when you get countered, I made that change and it still is a bummer when you get countered but not as bad. I have Key to the City that i find is just much better and helps with madness outlet. plus the fact you can draw off it to fuel your hand is upside. and making your Combustible Gearhulk unblock-able as won me many of games. I have also moved Summary Dismissal to main over the x1 Kozilek's Return I have found Summary Dismissal more useful across the field so would try to squeeze it in if you can. I have also added x2 Incendiary Flow to the side to stop emerge decks mainly Haunted Dead...

I agree with both of you. I also run would run disperse in the side, and 2 more unsubstantiate in the main. The remand option is nice, but I see a lot of people tapping down for vehichles, it is awesome to bounce it after it is crewed. I can see why disperse is good, but I like the possible remand a little bit better. Worth trying out.

Hyperalgialysis -- What do you think of -4 Tormenting Voice, +2 Summary Dismissal, +1 revolutionary rebuff, +1 negate?

Tormenting voice is not helping me.

Doesnt look too bad. I am curious how the rebuff is doing for you in your meta, in mine that would be a dead card. I have had a lot of success with scatter to the winds, but if your meta doesnt stop you from playing the rebuff by all means do so. You could also replace the rebuffs with convolute if need be. Have seen a major shift towards aggro and vehichles? In mine I have and in a deck like yours I would toss in a set of prophetic prism and run radiant flames to hit 3 colors. Again all meta dependant. Let me know what you are seeing a lot of and if I think of any helpful cards I will let you know

Hyperalgialysis -- I think now comes the time to lay this deck to rest.

I'm still a sucker for fevered V's -- I'm going to try out Chris Botelho's take on Jeskai Control, he calls it Fevered Tesla Turbo Fog 4000

lol

I like that deck, I saw a couple gameday that worked well. I made up an esper control and took third, grixis control was everywhere. I am toying with a few different things that I want to take to constructed. A cool idea I got was to run panharmonicon and vile redeemer. I am thinking of a jund build and clearing the board with a radiant flames(a lot of my opponents will probably end up doing it for me) and then casting vile redeemer to get double scions. I want to finish them off with a burn from within, and I will probably run zulaport cutthroat. I did see a really effective temur deck that focused on bouncing permanents and fevered visions for damage. It was running the blue gearhulk to cast bounce spells again and some green spells that return cards from their graveyard.
