Mizzix's Mastery

Sorcery

Exile target card that's an instant or sorcery spell from your graveyard. For each card exiled this way, copy it, and you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost. Exile Mizzix's Mastery.

Overload {5}{R}{R}{R} (You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change its text by replacing all instances of "target" with "each".)

I think Spelltwine doesn't work with your commander, because you are copying the cards and casting them instead of copying the spell. If that's right than Mizzix's Mastery and Arcane Bombardment also wouldn't work, sadly. Maybe they are good enough to keep anyway? Not sure. Cards with the Cipher mechanic are also so close to working but I don't think they do. This is actually kind of hard to brew around! Ugh, God-Eternal Kefnet wouldn't work either, ew.

Immolating Gyre and Volcanic Vision are really good boardwipes in a spells-y deck... as is Cyclonic Rift, which you definitely should still run. In fact, all the overload spells are pretty sweet here, since they only target things you don't control, so if you copy them opponent's can't even pay the 4 life to hit one of your things. Makes Vandalblast and friends possibly worth it.

Radiate is such a fun card that could do some real crazy things here! Shoutout to Radiant Performer as well.

Sublime Epiphany and Volcanic Offering Might not be good enough here.

I really like Narset's Reversal, Split Decision, and the demonstrate cards in this deck! Obviously Twinning Staff is fun here too.

It will be interesting to see if Lithoform Engine or Pyromancer's Goggles will be good enough here (I like Primal Amulet  ^Flip). Maybe more spells that copy spells are better than these chunkier repeatable ones? Things like Galvanic Iteration or Reiterate if you like the buyback better. Or Increasing Vengeance for the beefier flashback. Hell, if its politics Bonus Round could be really fun. Chef's Kiss is a newer one that I forgot about

Maybe this is the kind of deck where Thrilling Encore shines?

Is Stunning Reversal here to try and copy and save other people with?? Seems like it may not be good enough when you have access to blue for card draw/protection anyway.

I've found the expertise cycle (Baral's Expertise, Yahenni's Expertise, maybe not Kari Zev's Expertise) to be really fun with spell copying, since they in turn let you cast more spells themselves.

I wish, as I always do, that Cloven Casting wasn't soooo bad. Or like, any of the cards with Replicate. Those would be so perfect. Maybe Shattering Spree is good enough but I think it isn't. Ugh, that makes me think about how you're definitely supposed to play storm cards in this deck. Are there any storm cards that aren't miserable? Mind's Desire maybe...

Is Charmbreaker Devils good enough?

Wild Ricochet is an oldie but maybe enough of a goodie here with the copying theme?

Harmonic Prodigy since your commander is a wizard isn't a terrible idea...

Humble Defector might be too cute.

Gotta have Rakdos Charm! Honestly there might be other charms that are worth it to like Crosis's Charm, but definitely Rakdos Charm.

Cruel Ultimatum is the ultimate chunky spell and you're even in the right colors for it!

Also Chaos Warp is still good enough as universal instant speed removal and kind of fun/politics-y as well

Sheld on I cast at thee

Hey! You've given a suggestion on one of my decks, so I've thought I could return the favor. :)

I'm not sure how casual/competitive this deck is aimed to be, so I will give suggestions for both.

For a more competitive deck, I'd suggest:

• "Mana spells" (Turnabout, Brass's Bounty, Inner Fire)

• Extra turns (Time Stretch, Alchemist's Gambit) - The ones which go into your graveyard are generally stronger as use them again later.

• Forks (Increasing Vengeance, Bonus Round, Galvanic Iteration, Refuse / Cooperate) - From my experience the forks which can be cast from the graveyard are really good as you they can wait for you there until you're casting something big.

• This ridiculous 1-card win combo: [any other tutor] into Firemind's Foresight into Reiterate, Desperate Ritual, Fall of the Titans

The first three help you create disgusting solitaire turns while the last one may be the easiest win with Mizzix there is.

For a more casual deck, I'd suggest:

• not playing infinite combos :D

• limit the number of the "mana spells" and extra turns (Mizzix is ridiculously powerful for a casual meta and solitaire turns are annoying)

• some flavorful permanents (my suggestions: Metallurgic Summonings (and other token-making permanents), Thousand-Year Storm, Primal Amulet  ^Flip, Sorcerer Class, Sentinel Tower, Erratic Cyclops, Melek, Izzet Paragon <- not that great but fun imo)

General card suggestions:

Mizzix's Mastery, Epic Experiment, Chaos Warp, Commit / Memory, Volcanic Vision, Invert / Invent, Prophetic Bolt, Frantic Search, Pore Over the Pages, Rewind, Solve the Equation and once again Bonus Round (this card is seriously good)

Also, I invite you to have a look at my old Mizzix deck and/or my up-to-date Zaffai deck for some inspiration.

I'm sorry for the long comment in case you didn't wish for suggestions. Just wanted to help. :^)

Necrosis24 on DePietro and Channel?

3 months ago

This has made me realize I’ve been reading Ghost of Ramirez DePietro wrong this entire time. I thought his trigger was tied to the player that was dealt damage.

Tormod, The Desecrator

Well anyways my top pick for a partner would be Tormod, the Desecrator for all the graveyard shenanigans (i.e Living Death) and discard value.

Some high synergy cards would be:

• Archfiend of Ifnir
• Bone Miser
• Drake Haven
• Faith of the Devoted
• Feast of Sanity
• Dying to Serve
• Hordewing Skaab
• Mystic Redaction
• Curator of Mysteries + Eligeth, Crossroads Augur

• Armix, Filigree Thrasher + Mirrodin Besieged (if you go heavy artifacts)

Tana, The Bloodsower

Looking at channel tho there seems to be a higher density in temur so you would have access to better ramp and can do wheel/card draw affects. So perhaps Tana, the Bloodsower with:

Rielle, the Everwise

Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip

The Locust God + Wheels

Conspiracy Theorist

Mizzix's Mastery + Lier, Disciple of the Drowned

Glint-Horn Buccaneer

Surly Badgersaur

Pirates

Otherwise you can go for purate tribal in izzet with Breeches, Brazen Plunderer or monoblue with Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator

I enjoy a deck the builds turn after turn until it bursts, I have a deck call "Dragon Walkers" that builds upon turns like this except with mana. This deck builds cards and exp counters until Mizzix's Mastery or something else to just blow up at opponents. Then cast Dragonstorm and slay. Though colors mean you can't us the haste all dragons, which is a bit of a shame.

This is the same precon I started my Veyran spellslinger deck with. You can do pretty well with just a few changes.

I recommend buying as many cheap blue cantrips as possible and ditching pretty much every card above CMC 5.

I would also try to get Harmonic Prodigy. With Prodigy on the field every Magecraft trigger on Veyran will pump her up 3. 2 triggers and Jeska, Thrice Reborn will let you one-shot an opponent.

If you can pump her up to 21+ and pull off Chandra's Ignition you can kill the whole table. It’s fun and will draw a crowd.

Mizzix's Mastery is very helpful too. Fill your graveyard with the cheap spells, overload Mizzix, cast something like Overmaster and then Chandra's Ignition… it’s a spectacular way to win

Hey, I actually couldn't pull off the Curiosity combo with Niv to be honest. Every time I put him on the board the others would jump all over him and I don't think he stayed around even a full round, maybe got two triggers? That said, once he became 12cmc to summon I gave up. Mostly used Veyran, Voice of Duality, Electrostatic Field with Curiosity on it, and had Teferi's Ageless Insight out. I started drawing cards like crazy and was burning through my cantrips really fast. Then finally found the right round and was able to take out the other three players with a Mizzix's Mastery and finish with Grapeshot. It was great!

Just an FYI, Faithless Looting is banned in Modern, and Mizzix's Mastery isn’t Modern legal.
