Mizzix is a commander that I've been playing with for awhile now, and have tinkered with since I picked up the deck. With Mizzix being a value engine for instants and sorceries, I decided to go with a combo/control deck focusing mainly on the Lightning Bolt, Reset and Reiterate combo whilst also having counter spells to protect the combo and interact with my opponents shenanigans.

The deck used to run more higher costed spells, but Mizzix tends to draw a lot of hate from the table and will kill her immediately when she hits the board. This resulted in games where Mizzix was too costly to cast, and I had a bunch of big spells in hand, but not enough mana to cast them all. So I decided to lower the curve of the spells to be small yet efficient, and for the deck to be able to perform the combo without Mizzix needing to be in play, though it does help.

Though we can always play the waiting game, and just control the board with counterspells, and out valuing our opponents whilst generating a number of creatures with Metallurgic Summonings and Talrand, Sky Summoner.

To this end I have added lands such as Command Beacon to cast Mizzix easily if her Commander Tax becomes too high, with Tolaria West to help tutor for it or Riptide Laboratory if needed.
