Izzet Deck Trimming help needed!
Deck Help forum
Posted on Nov. 24, 2013, 9:39 p.m. by NerdPounder
I'm at 62 cards in my Izzet control deck, and need some advice on what to take out. 1 needs to go to the sideboard and 1 out. Help!

Epochalyptik should be along soon to move this to the deck help section

It is the fourth heading in the forums section when you click the link at the top of the page directly to the left of the Q&A link.

Lose all 3 Quicken , you don't have any sorcery cards that get a huge bonus from casting them on your opponents turn. Add in another Turn / Burn to bring you back up to 60. Alternatively, you could leave it at 62. I've never personally understood the obsession with having EXACTLY 60 cards.

If I left it at 62 I would probably go up one more land to balance it out. The thing about Quicken is that it's the most efficient part of my draw engine, 90% of the time I use it just to draw a card. I'll playtest without it though, thanks for the idea!

25 lands is plenty for a deck so If you add more you're probably wasting a card space. I always looked at Quicken as more of an "empty" card for when you want a deck to only have 56 cards. 1 mana for the card you would have drawn, if you didn't have Quicken in your deck. I only suggested another Turn / Burn as an alternative to having that 1 Quicken rattling around somewhere.

Q&A is for rules questions, the deck help forum is for deck help.
