Acquire Board and Sideboard —Feb. 9, 2017
I realized as I was discussing with some people how the deck is built that I had neglected to explain in this primer that this is not the optimal list yet and I'm working towards finishing it off within the next few months. All my mana rocks were put into Breya as I was working on her and I am rewriting parts of the list to show the actual optimal list I would like to play, and not what I currently have sleeved up.

EDHTest, sorry about that, I was testing the HTML out and left a bad image up. I'm also doing the write up for the decklist right now.

Thank you very much, much better now! Looking forward to your writeup!

You and I are VERY similar people. A couple things though, why Dualcaster Mage? Wouldn't something like Increasing Vengeance be infinitely better? Also no Mind's Desire? It's really good

Sorry for the double post, but you only have 2 mana rocks in here. One of them being at 3 mana. I would suggest getting some more rocks at 2 or less mana to ramp to Mizzix. I'm sure you have a reason for no sol ring so I won't ask.

The2odiak, hey thanks for the interest! As far as the choices...
Dualcaster Mage is a bit of a pet card. I used to run Rites/Heat Shimmer combo in Keranos and he is a carry over from those days. I haven't gotten my hands on a foil Increasing Vengeance yet, but have tested it and like it quite a bit. It is on my radar, but there is some sentimental attachment to Dualcaster.
Mind's Desire. Oh, what a card. I honestly am so unsure with it. Every single time I've played it, I whiffed on storm of 6. Which felt bad. It's certainly powerful, but for some reason, I have the worst luck with it, flipping lands, counter spells and nothing of relevance when, mathematically, I should be getting a better rate of actual hits.
As far as Sol Ring and other artifact mana being absent, for the most part I took them out to work on my Breya. I want a Chrome Mox, Sol Ring and Mana Crypt in this list for sure. They replace 2 basic islands and a basic mountain. I'll add that in at some point, but yes you are correct, there should be more artifact ramp in a list like this.

For the love of god, please, please change the background. I want to see mizzix build but the background really distracts me
