Just thought I should let you know, but you can't play Discovery / Dispersal in this deck due to the black mana symbols.

I also have some suggestions:

• Insidious Will is an amazing counterspell, it just has so much versatility.

• While bad at first glance Bone to Ash synergizes well with Niv-Mizzet

• Enter the Infinite is a good way to deal tons of damage, and it can help you win with Laboratory Maniac

• Master the Way is another good way to deal tons of damage.

• Lastly with the two cards mentioned above Enter the Infinite + Master the Way is an amazing combo, and with Niv-Mizzet out you have the possibility to kill 2 people at once.

• Also Rowan Kenrith and Will Kenrith are amazing, especially since they search for each other.

I hope that I could be of some help!

Here are my personal recommendations (with help from n8dm) for cards to add and cut from the deck. Let me know if you have any questions about cuts or recommendations.

Let's start with permanents:

First off, I'd recomment Cast Through Time, very fun especially with Swarm Intelligence.

Talrand, Sky Summoner provides aerial blockers and an alternate win condition in case you can't burn out your opponent.

Mizzix of the Izmagnus and Baral, Chief of Compliance are great for cost reduction of spells.

Nivix Guildmage is a great copy engine.

Guttersnipe helps with burning out your opponent.

Mnemonic Wall and Archaeomancer help get back your good spells.

The Mirari Conjecture does the same thing as the two above, but it's a saga.

Metallurgic Summonings helps with getting out chump blockers.

Jaya Ballard is a really great addition to the deck.

Finally, Precognition Field is good card filtering.

Now for instants and sorceries:

I would recommend Crush of Tentacles, as it's the perfect boardwipe for the deck.

I'm gonna recommend the burn spell Jaya's Immolating Inferno, it's a personal favorite.

Snap is great for double casting to trigger Jori En, Ruin Diver.

Scour from Existence, Rapid Hybridization, and Chaos Warp are great instant speed removal.

Pull from Tomorrow is an amazing card draw spell that fits the X cost theme.

Lastly, Beacon of Tomorrows allows for some easy infinite turns if you draw your whole deck (doable:Pull from Tomorrow copied a few times).

Now to recommend some cards to cut:

Brutal Expulsion is too expensive for a pretty weak effect, it's essentially an expensive version of a weaker Remand + Shock combo.

I would like to question your addition of Clockspinning, as it can really only be applied to 3-4 targets.

Fall of the Titans is not the greatest of burn spells. It might seem good, but you'll never be able to cast it at full potential, as playing it for its surge cost does require you to spend mana on another spell.

I'd recommend you cut Magma Spray, there's much better removal out there.

Refuse isn't that great because you have to get it into your graveyard to take advantage of its aftermath effects, that paired with the fact that its initial effect is pretty weak.

Turn is also rather weak in this format.

Aphetto Alchemist and Fatestitcher have very limited application here, it seems as if you run them just to support Echo Mage and Pyromancer's Goggles.

Pyromancer's Assault is too weak , too much of an investment without enough of a payout.

Honden of Infinite Rage and Honden of Seeing Winds could be cut as the floor is too low and the ceiling isn't high enough, you're only running two of them.

Touch of the Void is pretty much a sorcery speed 3 drop bolt.

Teleportal can be cut seeing as you don't have many creatures that you'll be attacking with. The two you do have, Hypersonic Dragon and Sphinx of the Final Word already have flying.

Serpentine Spike is way too expensive. It is indeed a 3 for one, but that's at best for 7 mana. I'd recommend you just use a red boardwipe along the lines of Blasphemous Act.

Recoup doesn't do a whole lot, and it's debatably bad.

Processor Assault should be cut and replaced with Flame Slash. Flame Slash is half the mana for one less damage, and there's no additional cost.

Master the Way - I'm sorry, but that's just not a good card.

It'd be a good idea to replace Hanweir Battlements with Reliquary Tower, as Hanweir Battlements is really just a haste enabler here.

Crumble to Dust is not a really great card in a singleton format, and it can be replaced with Pillage.

Total suggestions: 24 Total suggested cuts: 18 ; As an extra side question, what's the purpose of all the exile?

Edited this deck from Dragon-Style: Fire and Ice into Dragon Sin of Wrath.

Here's the list of changes I made.

Jaya Ballard replaced by Jaya's Immolating Inferno

Ajani Vengeant replaced by Nahiri, the Harbinger

Skywise Teachings replaced by Land Tax

Master the Way replaced by Windfall

Singing Bell Strike replaced by Artful Dodge

Boros Charm replaced by Oblivion Stone

The cards I replaced were cards that I didn't really used and ended up slowing my fast tempo. Also I find that this deck's weakness is a Black White Removal deck. So in turn, I added more mana ramp with more removal.
