Futuremonk on Spellshaper Madness

Thanks! I originally had it, but I realized the deck really wants to hold up mana for the spellshaper and other abilities, so I opted for instant speed options like Frantic Search and Izzet Charm instead.

Exogino Oh haha tappedout is lying to me saying Mystic Sanctuary is legal in pauper. Easy fix, thanks for pointing it out :) Izzet Charm is in the side currently sitting in the sideboard for now. Haven't actually gotten to test this deck much so I'm unsure of the card. Elusive Spellfist seems pretty decent, though I'm not sure if I can fit it in. Sword Coast Serpent might be a pretty good sideboard option against control maybe? 7 mana is probably too much for the deck though, since im only running 21 lands and the deck curves out at 4 at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions!

clircrazy on Dragon's Approach

So, after playing this deck for over a year, I still love it. But I faced a couple of major problems:

• not enough draw without risk of getting an archenemy badge for casting two approaches to trigger Jori En, Ruin Diver

• when I play with somebody who knows my deck they try to kill me before I can get one of my combo pieces

The only thought I have to solve those - put a Propaganda for protection and both Drift of Phantasms and Mystical Tutor for consistency. Also, 36 Approaches are overkill for me, so I think of cutting up to 30-32 and adding something like Izzet Charm or Prismari Command, or some drawing cantrips. And maybe Archmage Ascension and Rhystic Study as both of them are easily tutored by Drift of Phantasms.

Would appreciate some comments both with ideas and critics.

Mystic Sanctuary is banned in pauper. Anyway what do you think about: Elusive Spellfist as bitter - i see many spells and it can hit pretty hard each turn.

i suggest also Izzet Charm in this deck, because it can be used as removal, counter or draw card, and could be pretty useful.

last my suggestion is Sword Coast Serpent it could be played as removal with adventure effect, and as closure in end game triggering "can't be blocked" effect in a 2 in 1 card.

let me know your ideas.

Triton on Consistent card draw in izzet

I really like Outpost Siege for card advantage. Valakut Exploration is also absolutely insane! Other personal favorites of mine are Faithless Looting/Careful Study/Frantic Search effects. Izzet Charm has added utility, and they other two modes come up surprisingly often!

What’s up man, sweet deck!

Izzet Charm and Prismari Command seem like auto includes in a deck like this, the loot + other options make these cards versatile (and instant speed)

Gamble helps you find your stuff for hella cheap, sure you can possibly ban your wincon, but if it works…

Wheel of Misfortune isn’t the best card, but for this deck it seems like a good way to refill your hand and then some.

I've got no specific ideas but some general things. I'm not sure what your wincon is. I'm assuming its attacking with a creature, but with only nine in the main, that feels way too low. Consider Delver of Secrets  ^Flip, and maybe bumping up to a full playset of Thing in the Ice  ^Flip. All of your instants and sorceries are are at 2x-3x, you've got no playsets. Definitely look at adding some and cutting others, maybe a full set of Izzet Charm, which are flexible, as well as Opt/Consider. Manawise, if you can run the full set of Fabled Passage, they can help fuel your Treasure Cruise delve a bit. You're curve is fairly low, you could possibly go down to 19-20 lands. If you're having manafixing issues, look at Stormcarved Coast and Riverglide Pathway  ^Flip. I don't have a lot of pioneer experience, so this comes from just my general experience with deckbuilding. I hope it helps.

I’ve just seen you’ve splashed red -, in which case i can suggest Storm Herald over Academy Researchers. The Herald has haste which is pretty important for having a better chance of making contact, and can also get multiple of the Eldrazi Conscription attached at once. You will need ways to discard the Conscriptions though, so Izzet Charm will probably be useful if you go down that path
