Deck sorta based off a few official intro decks, might use a bit better red but overall I'm pretty satisfied with it. Deprive + Halimar Depths makes it possible to see whats coming up multiple times, and it's great to spend an Izzet Charm to get rid of any upcoming lands when you don't need any. Isochron Scepter and Thing in the Ice   are your babies in this deck, although its possible to win without both by spamming Isochron Scepter + Izzet Charm or Isochron Scepter + Lightning Bolt for damage, or by casting your instants at nothing for Thing in the Ice  . Casting a damage spell at Artisan of Forms lets you make a copy of Thing in the Ice   and can take the hit from lightning bolt, but since it is already on the field, after that it instantly flips. Ancestral Vision is there because having a lot of cards with low converted mana cost is begging for draw cards. Not sure about Witchbane Orb , it's mainly to deflect spells which would otherwise cost a countering spell.
