Deck overview

This deck is a dedicated Izzet spellslinger strategy commanded by Mizzix of the Izmagnus. The game plan focuses on casting low-cost cantrips and proliferate spells to accumulate experience counters on the player. These counters dramatically reduce the generic mana costs of massive instant and sorcery spells. Once cost reduction is online, the deck casts game-warping extra turn spells like Time Warp and Time Stretch, mass graveyard recursion like Mizzix's Mastery and Past in Flames, or massive X-cost draw and burn spells. Win conditions include direct damage burn via Guttersnipe, swarming the board with flying tokens from Talrand, Sky Summoner and Murmuring Mystic, or stealing key opposing permanents with Blatant Thievery. Supported by redirection effects, counterspells, and board wipes, the deck reliably establishes control on Turn 6 and finishes the game on Turn 7.
