Izzet Over Yet?

Nin's Tap-Dancing Wizards

This wizard-tribal deck features wizards that tap. It also features artifacts that tap.

Core components:

• Wizards that tap

• Mana rocks

• Control

• Card draw

• Combo Pieces

• Miscellaneous wizard synergy

Win conditions:

• Paradox Engine-driven storm: Some wizards say {T}: draw cards, such as Arcanis the Omnipotent. Once Paradox Engine hits the field with enough mana rocks, chances are pretty high that you'll cast most of the spells in your deck, allowing you to untap any wizards you have on the field. You can finish the game by using some of their damage abilities, playing Laboratory Maniac and drawing into an empty library, or casting a storm spell like Grapeshot or Aetherflux Reservoir. My favorite play, however, is to Chaos Wand everyone else's libraries.

• Freed from the Real infinite mana: Aphetto Alchemist and Fatestitcher are great cards, especially once they have been Freed from the Real with a mana rock like Gilded Lotus on the field. The infinite mana can be put into a Comet Storm, Blue Sun's Zenith, or Nin, the Pain Artist to finish the game.

• Infinite Wizards. Cast Kindred Charge, naming wizards. Flash in Dualcaster Mage. Allow the mage to resolve, creating a copy of Kindred Charge. The copy of the spell resolves, creating a copy of Dualcaster Mage. Rinse and repeat. The nearly-infinite wizards have haste, allowing you to use their tap abilities or to swing out and kill the table. Alternatively, the infinite cast triggers play well with storm effects.

• Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter : With a damage-dealing wizard on the field, that's game over for your opponents. Can also lead to infinite mana, card draw, etc. Notably, both can be found by transmuting Muddle the Mixture.

• Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind : A two-card combo that draws your entire library and potentially kills the entire table. What's not to like?

My concerns:

• Low creature count. Folds to aggro decks.

• Prone to be targeted, as it is a combo deck.
