Dope deck, Izzet is the best!

Since I play casual I usually run Counterspell. 2 mana for a counterspell with no conditions or restrictions. Mana Leak is nice too.

Your creatures look pretty good too, might check out Stormchaser Mage as it can also block when needed. With all the instants/sorceries Bedlam Reveler can refill your hand to help finish the game, often I cast him for 2 mana.

Awesome deck, +1

Edit: also Rift Bolt is great, most often a Lightning Bolt and I think it will get a little cheaper too as it was just reprinted in a duel deck.

I am a huge UR lover. Here's my two cents:

Spell Snare, Spell Pierce, Disrupting Shoal (aka Poor man's Force of Will), Counterspell, Mana Leak, and Remand are all decent counters you should consider. (Force Spike is there if you want to be funny).

You are gonna need some fetches and Steam Vents (I get these are more expensive, but a lot of those are necessary to help. Brainstorm is probably the best card out there, and you need some fetches).

I'd also up the amount of Thought Scour you have. It's better than Preordain in a T-Cruise list.

Price of Progress and Gush are awesome cards, if you can fit them it.

Honestly, many of the things that would help your deck more are going to cost money, which is unfortunate (I like to go budget too).

Hope that helps, at least a little bit.

Hi Hardhitta71194, thanks for the reply.

Izzet is the best!

Due to the nature of this deck, I only want to run 12 creatures

I considered Stormchaser Mage, but ultimately chose Young Pyromancer over him due to my meta, and me needing to chump and swarm around Gurmag Anglers

Stormchaser Mage could be very good as a sideboard card against decks with -1-1 effects, or he could be very good in the mainboard if my meta ever changes to a point where evasion, and a 3 toughness will be useful.

I will definitely test this card. It has the potential to be extremely good.

Bedlam Reveler is an excellent card, but he has negative synergy with Treasure Cruise, and the counters that I like to hold in my hand.

as for Mana Leak and Counterspell, I usually like to tap out, and that is why I highly value the free counters such as Daze and Mental Misstep

also, Due to the nature of my meta, Counterspell, and Mana Leak are often too slow as my opponents can fire off a Hypergenesis off of a cascade card as soon as turn 1.

Rift Bolt doesn't quite fit in this deck, as immediate effects are very important in this deck. That is one of the reasons I run so few creatures. it is because a creature top decked in the late game is a dead card.

Thank you so much for your advice, it has been very helpful

Thanks for the reply GabeCubed.

Spell Snare could be good, but it is 5$ same with RemandSpell Pierce looks very solid. I will probably mainboard a few, or run some in the sideboard.i'll test Disrupting Shoal it could be a budget replacement for FOW

as for Gush, it is a very very good card, but I don't think that Gush can work in this deck as I can barely support Daze in this deck.

still, it is a very good card. I might be able to make it work with a few more islands.

Price of Progress looks very good. It might be a little rough with all of my pain lands, but it is still definitely a card to be considered.

as for fetches and shocks, I cannot afford them, as I have no money.

People in my playgroup also dislike people who spend large amounts of money on magic as they feel it is then a pay to win game.

I agree that fetches are necessary if I want the deck to be as good as possible, I also need fetches if I want to be able to play Brainstorm. Brainstorm is necessary to the deck, as it quickly allows you to turn a bad hand into a good one. fetches also fill my graveyard for treasure cruise.

I will up the amount of Thought Scour in the Mainboard.

thank you for your advice and all of the card suggestions.
