So after a lot of playing and thinking, I realized that my first attempt at a red-blue sorcery deck was not very good, so I've done my best Here's what I feel the cards do
I feel like I'm kind of going against the standard meta for Izzet, as I am avoiding control and substituting with draw, and avoiding aggro ans substituting with direct damage.
Banefire Every sorcery deck needs and "X drop", my favorite red card of all time was
Blaze
, but then when I saw banefire, I knew it was a match made in heaven. I am only running two because they are dead cards in my hand early game, and I only look at them as a win condition.
Dack Fayden Well I pulled Dack Fayden from a Conspiracy draft and knew exactly what I was going to do with it. The draw is exactly what this deck needs, and the ultimate ability is just filthy with little damage target spells.
Firebolt Just a little damage spell that mesh's with Dack's ultimate and can do some good damage to my oponenet, which will do well with Satyr Firedancer to bounce some more damage at creatures.
Lava Spike One mana for three damage? Yes please, also with the Firedancer out on the field this little spell will produce 6 damage for one mana, awesome sauce!
Library of Leng This card is really what makes the deck go, unlimited hand size makes my draw cards really good, with
Trade Secrets
it's very possible that I will have 10 cards in my hand at all times. Furthermore, it makes the "draw then discard" abilities of Dack and Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded very playable. for one mana, this card is my MVP.
Magnivore
and spellheart chimaera are bombs... enough said. They get big quickly.
Mizzium Mortars. Sure.... I will just kill all of your creatures, that sounds good to me.
Ponder Look to the future and draw. It definitely lets me get the cards I need into my hand. Awesome!
Satyr Firedancer lets me bounce some more damage from every spell. Initially I was running Guttersnipe but I think the firedancer is way better for this deck.
Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded is actually way better than I think people give him credit for. his draw is nice, then his -4 is good with
Trade Secrets
because my opponent's hand size is staying pretty big. for two mana, I will take his power.
Trade Secrets
is my favorite draw card EVER. Wow, if my opponent wants to let me draw 20 cards, he can, but if not, it's still draw four for 3 mana.
Volcanic Hammer 3 damage.... catch.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am not sure how this deck will play in a semi-competitive setting!
