Guerric on Mizzix puts the "X" in Excellence!

3 weeks ago

Update, May 29, 2021

Impulse OUT Deflecting Swat IN

Contentious Plan Sort of replaced Impulse as my two-mana card for early counters. The value of Deflecting Swat can hardly be overstated, as it provides early protection for Mizzix while being relevant all game long.

Aetherspouts OUT Introduction to Annihilation IN

Spouts is such a conditional card, and we have plenty of board wipes when we count or kill-the-table x-spells. Intro is great in that its free permanent removal for us much of the time.

Overwhelming Intellect OUT Dramatic Reversal IN

A counterspell that can only counter a creature spell is underwhelming, and we added swat. I can't believe Dramatic Reversal hadn't been added earlier. It plays into our combo with Reiterate , and allows us to fetch the whole combo with Firemind's Foresight . A true must include!

Fall of the Titans OUT Expropriate IN

Fall was always our worst x-spell, and we have more than enough in the deck. For a replacement win con its far better to just take another turn and steal everyone's best thing. The greatest thing about this card is that its so cheap to cast with Mizzix!

Spring / Mind OUT Archmage Emeritus IN

Spring is great but sorcery speed and a one-off. Archmage will draw us cards the whole game. We're up to three whole creatures in this deck now!

Howl of the Horde OUT Solve the Equation IN

I've got plenty of copy dorks here, so another tutor is great, especially one that will usually cost me just two blue mana!

Good Sweepers To Maybe Bring In:

• AEtherspouts
• Curse of the Swine
• Evacuation
• Nevinyrral's Disk
• Polymorphist's Jest - Only temporary, though
• Selective Snare - Limited against non-tribal decks, though

Good Control To Maybe Bring In:

• Cancel
• Devious Cover-Up
• Didn't Say Please
• Dispersal Shield - Conditional, though
• Memory Lapse - Goes to library rather than graveyard, though
• Sinister Sabotage
• Spell Rupture - Conditional, though

Good Creature Steal To Maybe Bring In:

• Confiscate
• Control Magic
• Corrupted Conscience

Sultai_Sir on Niv still to slow...

Hey man, I've got some suggestions:

Talisman of Creativity: Another ramp spell, and taps for colorless if you need it to.

Keep Watch: Absolutely ridiculous card, often draws you 5+ cards at least, and I once drew 24 cards. Brilliant.

Ophidian Eye: I know it's in your maybeboard, but it's still a combo with Niv-Mizzet.

Windfall: Draw ALL the cards.

Whirlpool Warrior: Basically a personal double Windfall, if you're playing your deck right, you should always have the most cards.

Jace's Archivist: Man, the Windfalls keep on coming! This one's one you can do every turn, which is just pure value, plus it disrupts your opponent's gameplan when you're wheeling every turn.

AEtherize/AEtherspouts: Just say no to any deck that's attacking. Hint: most decks.

Anyways, hope this helps, and as always, Happy Tapping!

I love mills and mono-blue cancer (those are quite similar), nice deck. Would like to suggest Field of Ruin and Ghost Quarter. If you have an Archive Trap you mill for free and destroy some 3 color land. There's some situations you can explore like Hinder + Tunnel Vision combo. Some instants like Memory Lapse, Vanishment, Expel from Orazca are quite good to get rid of somethings. AEtherspouts and AEtherize to mess up with opponents but no you. I really enjoy that commander, if I got more ideas, I'll post here.

Thanks for the suggestions DreadKhan. I haven't used AEtherspouts yet, but I have had success with Wash Out in an old Bantchantress deck I had. My meta runs enough multi-colored decks, that I can still remove some impactful stuff across the table. I wish it was an Instant, but oh well.

AEtherspouts can be a heartbreaking play, and its cheap to try out. I love it in my Talrand deck as a butt-saver. It's 5 vs 4 for AEtherize, but it's also much better I'd argue. It's very salty, since it just ruins the day of 1 player, while Evacuation might hurt your board state sometimes, or that of a player you need to help you. I don't like that Wash Out is a sorcery, but 1 colour might be enough.
