Something I was inspired to create after looking through the Dominaria release notes: A tempo-based U/R deck that uses cheap Wizards and their synergies with Instants/Sorceries to deny threats to the opponent and protect itself, and hopefully close out the game by turn 6. I'm more used to designing Control decks than Tempo, so my ears are open to any feedback/ideas you'd care to share!

~~Current Issues~~

-Spells vs Creatures: Getting the right ratio of threats to disruption is proving tricky, especially when they both enable each other. I'd REALLY appreciate even the most general of pointers in this area.

-Card Draw: Is 8 draw-related spells too many? I'd say no, given that half of them also help me develop a threat, but this is obviously open to discussion.

Dominaria card descriptions, for reference:

~~Ghitu Lavarunner~~

R

As long as there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, Ghitu Lavarunner gets +1/+0 and has haste.

Now comes in a new spell-focused flavour, for those of us who find turning things sideways icky! Whereas this version is about using spells as backup for Wizards, Izzet Spellslinging (DOM) is the opposite, with the Wizards just enabling the existence & protection of a big, fat Enigma Drake. Let me know which one you think is the best!
