Volcanic Island

Land — Island Mountain

To start with, there's a few cards that have better Vintage equivalents. Overmaster and Spell Pierce should be the 3rd. and 4th. copies of Force of Will. Leftover space from cutting those can be Red Elemental Blast, Pyroblast, or Flusterstorm. You don't need Faithless Looting because we have Paradoxical Outcome, Sensei's Divining Top, Gush, Dig Through Time, Treasure Cruise, and Brainstorm to choose from. Merchant Scroll also belongs in here, because you can use it to grab Ancestral Recall at the very least. Usually you want it to make sure you have protection in hand by grabbing countermagic.

Library of Alexandria isn't good in this deck. And you're not the type that needs 8x sources, so Steam Vents can go, along with a few copies of Volcanic Island (1 or 2). Replace all of these with four copies of Scalding Tarn and basic lands. Or even just play 6x fetches. You need to be able to shuffle after using Brainstorm, Ponder,and Sensei's Divining Top.

From here, you have a solid U/R Storm shell. However, I wouldn't play straight "Modern U/R Storm, but Power 9" dot dec. 2 mana is a lot for Goblin Electromancer, there are easier ways of winning than Grapeshot, and so on. The question then becomes "Where to go from here?"

Hope this helps! Welcome to MtG's oldest and greatest format.

Niv-Mizzet, Ravnica's Conqueror

Legendary Creature - Dragon Wizard

Flying

All permanents are red and blue, and no other color. All nonbasic lands are Volcanic Islands.

Whenever you draw a card, if it was the fourth card you drew this turn, destroy up to one target creature.

4/4


While everyone on Ravnica was rebuilding it because of Bolas's attack, Niv-Mizzet made them all part of the Izzet League by killing the other guild leaders.


Easy mode: Make a card that represents an umbrella.

Moderately Difficult mode: It can't be an equipment.

Hard mode: It must be a red and black creature.

Welcome to the club, TimeKitsune! And yeah, there's a lot going on in this game. Confusion is normal. Work with the fundamentals, and the rest will follow.

So this deck doesn't seem to have any particular focus. The Volcanic Islands and Tropical Islands are valuable cards, but out of place here, since none of your cards use or mana. Similarly, this deck doesn't have enough artifacts to use Academy Ruins fully.

My first question is, how do you want to win a game? Do you want to defeat your opponent before they get set up, or attack with big creatures, or lock them down and prevent them from doing anything? Do you want to win through speed, brute strength, technical and tactical maneuvering, or surprise your opponents with a win out of nowhere? And all of these can be combined, if you want to win through brute force out of nowhere, or with speed and technical skill, or anything else.

If you need any help with color philosophy and mechanics, or deckbuilding tips, or anything at all, please ask. This is a pretty good community, and very knowledgeable.

And above all, have fun!

rshistorysmuf on Proxies, yay or nay?

As someone has previously mentioned. Unless I can trade up, and up, and up, I would like to have a Mishra's Workshop around 2K but there are reprints in Vintage Masters and Master edition IV (haven't seen them), Candelabra of Tawnos - 900 reprinted Vintage masters (have not seen it), Underground Sea 400 reprint, Volcanic Island 400, Plateau 150, Gaea's Cradle around 500.

It's a shame but when you see IHYD playing such uber stuff, you wish why can't I play these in commander. Do we go and buy knock off versions?

Edit: Just looked at the price for Volcanic Island , for whatever reason assumed that it would way cheaper. These suggestions look good, thanks.

Volcanic Island is about the most expensive way you could possibly do this.

Have a look at the land list here and puck out the ones that fit your price range. General rule of thumb is to avoid lands that’ll enter tapped where possible
