I have never been the Izzet player. Big crazy spells, drawing lots of cards, countering anything I don't like and being ridiculous? That has never been me. Until I saw the Locust God. It was an odd moment when I realized I liked it as much as I did. Yeah...

Anyway, it's the Locust God. Draw tons of cards, effects to save me discarding and letting me draw more cards, counterspells for days, a few extra turns, some group hug/slug effects to help keep a low profile, eventually winning with an overwhelming swarm of hasty fliers, or if that doesn't work burning people out.

Maybeboard is full of cards I kinda like but am still in early testing stages. Input is welcome!
