Hi,
I’m a little newer to Mtg but trying to work on my deck building and creating good card combinations. I was wondering about a commander deck -> Red/Blue, mainly sorcery/instant using Melek, Izzet Paragon? The idea would be to go low cost and use Melek to help get cards out wether they be damaging red sorceries or use blues to draw/return permanents of opponents. Melek would double this making copies on cast correct? As well some creatures to boost effects of damage done for sorceries and instants or help draw and some which have effects like exile top card of your opponents deck and you can cast it this turn? They are just preliminary thoughts on the idea and I’d like to hear anything anyone has to say. Thank you
Yeah I see your point with Niv, so I’ll take that into consideration. I saw a few cards like guttersnipe I’d planned on using. Maybe a few red cards I have for controlling an enemy card then using sorceries that usually are cheaper but cost a creature to be sacrifice to remove their creatures from play and pretty much be nothing but good effects then for me? Again I’m still working on a more specific direction for this. Still just brain storming ideas. Thanks :)

First thing you need to worry about here: what’s your wincon? (win condition, if you’re not familiar with the term)
I would recommend Thousand-Year Storm or Guttersnipe or Electrostatic Field . Ral, Storm Conduit and Niv-Mizzet, Parun are good as well but only hits one player. One may even argue that Niv might be a better commander for what you’re going for. Casting lots of spells = drawing lots of cards = dealing lots of damage
