Introduction

Thanks for checking out my Mizzix's Deck. I'm trying to create a casual and semi-budget Mizzix deck that doesn't rely on heavy combo, storm or extra turns to win. I've play-testing the deck and making refinements for a few weeks now, it plays really well but always look to make changes.

How the deck plays

During the first few turns you want to ramp and start getting experience on to Mizzix, usually through draw spells and counters. As the game progresses you want to continue to use draw spells to ensure you've always got removal, counters and protection to maintain "control" of the game.

Controlling the game involves two things, protecting Mizzix and preventing broken or degenerate plays. Once Mizzix reaches a critical mass of experience counters (6+) you switch gears and look to close out the game. The deck has several win conditions which I've outlined below.

Win Conditions

• Dack Fayden emblem + Reality Spasm , although hard to pull off this is one of my favorite ways to win
• Guttersnipe/Sphinx-Bone Wand, either of these with mizzix mastery wins games from no where
• Bribery, not the most reliant wincon but certainly a fun one that can win games fast if comboed with Rite of Replication
• Insurrection, just win opponents think they've got the game in the pocket this wincon can steal games from no where
• Rite of Replication, can be used on an opponents biggest creature or Guttersnipe either way a really powerful wincon
• Talrand, Sky Summoner/ Young Pyromancer tokens can close out games on their own especially with one sided board wipes like Cyclonic Rift

Card Choices

• Dack Fayden , one of my favorite planeswalker and cards, can be hard to protect but all abilities are relevant and even just casting him and stealing an artifact before he dies can be worth it
• Whir of Invention, is a new card I'm testing to combo with Sphinx-Bone Wand. I had Fabricate initially but felt like I couldn't bring myself to spend 7 mana on my turn and leave myself exposed. The new tutor allows me to cast at the end step before my turn which is much better (I think/hope). I'm also considering adding Darksteel Colossus

Considerations

• Propaganda, for more protection
• Quicken, as mentioned before I don't like leaving myself exposed by playing sorcery speed spells. This could help along with Leyline of Anticipation and Vedalken Orrery
• Darksteel Colossus , additional wincon that can be played with Whir of Invention

As mentioned I'm always looking to optimize the deck further, please any feedback or suggestions. Thank you!
