Mizzix Storm
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Jan. 5, 2016, 7:31 p.m. by iLikeDirt
So to preface the discussion, I'm a combo player. I'm the guy at the table that everyone groans at because I LOVE to take that 20+ minute turn casting a bajillion spells and then casting a relatively absurd win condition, so I've come to a conclusion: I want to tackle EDH Storm.
I've played 
/
Storm in Modern, fish bowled a little bit of the Grixis Storm in Legacy and have drafted the living hell out of it on the Holiday Cube the past few days, so I have some familiarity with it as an archetype. However I understand that EDH might have some interesting card options to offer that I hadn't have thought of.
I'm in the process of trying to acquire the following:
Are there any other cards that other storm players would suggest finding? What are the thoughts on Mizzix of the Igmagnus at the helm versus another commander?
Uh... Omniscience + Enter the Infinite ?
And the whole Firemind's Foresight into Lightning Bolt
+
Reiterate
+
Reset
for infinite mana and damage during your opponent's end step sounds pretty fun. Plus if you have 4+ experience counters with Mizzix out you only need to kick it off.

I considered the Enter the Infinite + Omniscience route, but I personally wanted to go with something that had more challenge to it. I've had a little bit of enough of instant wins with Riku of Two Reflections.
I like that 3 card set up sonnet666, I'm going to put it in my considerations for now mostly because two of those three are very meh in my opinion, outside of being combo pieces (Lightning Bolt and Reset.
Here is a prototype build I'm thinking is semi close to where I want to start. Thoughts?

That's really just one way to do it. Other options include:
Reiterate + Desperate Ritual/Pyretic Ritual + Bonfire of the Damned/Fireball/Illuminate/Banefire/Blaze/Conflagrate/Crater's Claws/Demonfire/Devil's Play/Disintegrate/Ghitu Fire/Kaervek's Torch/Lava Burst/Meteor Shower/Red Sun's Zenith ( needed with 4+ XP counters)
Reiterate + Desperate Ritual/Pyretic Ritual + Lightning Bolt/Flaming Gambit (Same, can still be done during an opponent's end step.)
Reiterate + Fanning the Flames/Comet Storm/Rolling Thunder/Titan's Revenge/Volcanic Geyser + Infernal Plunge ( and a spare creature to sacrifice)
Reiterate + Fascination/Braingeyser + Infernal Plunge ( and a spare creature to sacrifice)
Point is Firemind's Foresight is nice.

If your gonna do storm, you need Omniscience and 1 other that combos. Basically, you'll draw your whole deck, then cast your whole deck without paying it's mana cost, then cast your storm spells at the very end.
