another budget deck, alot of the burn spells in the maybe section got jumbled up with their categories i made since they werent working under multiple #categories. I really like the idea of cycling through a deck instead of draw discard so i tried to keep as much of the "sift draw" as possible mixed with regular draw spells. The proliferate draws were a must but while trying to make room by taking out the other 350+ cards I fear i have taken out too many burn spells. The Side deck are cards i had a tough time choosing to take out or keeping and most of them ended up being AoE removal, which may not have been the best idea, but again i dont want to overdo it. Last Spell deck I played was Melek back in 2013 so a lot has changed since then. Obviously the idea is to keep the board clear while keeping Mizzix safe, need to keep those EXP counters going up, play an X burn spell and copy for GG or BSZ to mill them out. I feel like Metallurgic Summonings is a trap card because its a 5 drop and if i tap out im basically sitting open, but the purpose is to give me some blockers to keep me safe. I tried to focus most of my board wipes to Opponents only. Im sure ill be making many changes after i get this deck and run it a few times. Even the ramp i chose is a little iffy with only 4 rocks, 3 of which are only good to get mizzix out early. As you can see there are a TON of options to make this deck into w/e you want. But X spells and Copy are what i really wanted. The Purpose is to play more Reactive then Proactive. A UR deck passing their turn with full mana is much more threatening than spending it all on my turn, leaving me wide open. I want people to know if they decide to come at me, they will lose their creature or board state. Mean while i'd be holding onto an X burn spell with copy or double damage set up to nuke the biggest player threat on the board.

EDIT: Play testing has revealed i do not have the amount of draw i want, nor the burn i was expecting. Seem to be sitting on cards that require 2 or 3 RU in their cost as Mizzix cant reduce those. have had hands where im just drawing utility which is either unlucky or i just have too much of it. Will probably switch in cards that have dual purpose like prophetic bult. Cards I chose not to play: Electrostatic Field - 2 drop good early blocker, 1 dmg to all opponent, does not synergize with Copy spells. would maybe rather have Lightning Axe or another 2 drop burn to remove a commander or other threat.
