This is a budget Izzet Aggro deck that utilizes cheap early creatures who get MUCH stronger the more instants and sorceries that are played. This deck curves out at 3, as nothing really costs more than that, but man, within the first few turns, you can stomp some faces in. Not to mention that these cards are dirt cheap, and can be a fun alternative to the rakdos/boros aggro decks.
I made this right during the spoilers for Born of the Gods, so I think there might be more changes that could be better additions to this deck. My main concerns include Card Draw if the game drags out, how to withstand removals more consistently, forms of evasion. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, and please send me a link of your deck for inspiration!
This deck's main enabler is
Nivix Cyclops
, who gets offensively big the more spells you pump onto him. My inspiration for this deck was a $25 deck which I found online, that utilized the cyclops for a claimed a potential turn 4 victory (I've since forgotten where that deck is). This one runs more creatures, since I remember that deck was running creatures almost too sparingly and putting a lot of dependency on his/her 10 or so creatures in the deck.
The amount of quick burns, evasion, and creature enabling spells allow Blistercoil Weird and
Nivix Cyclops
to do alarming amounts of damage in the first few turns. At its most optimal,
Nivix Cyclops
alone can do a cool 20 Damage at least (with the help of
Armed
,
Titan's Strength
, and
Mizzium Skin
for good measure, we're looking at 13X2, or 26 damage if it goes unanswered). Of course, we're not always going to hit a nut hand, but the consistency that this deck can offer can get good results often, I would hope.
Again, I would love help finding issues that this deck might run into, and finding a solution to them.
