Welcome to my Mizzix of the Izmagnus deck! This deck came from my desire to build a deck unlike any of the others in my current EDH stable. First, I went outside my usual color pallette of B/x. Secondly, I focused on a spellslinger deck style, something I have never really tried before. When I was choosing a spellslinger deck, Izzet seemed to be the obvious choice, and Mizzix of the Izmagnus jumped out to me as a powerful commander.

The primary focus of the deck is to capitalize on Mizzix of the Izmagnus' cost-reduction ability to cast several, impactful spells per turn. In addition, I've included several on-cast triggers to gain further value from our spell casts.

Try setting sort to Custom to see my thought process when designing the deck!

The Commander

When it comes to Izzet commanders, most of them have something to do with casting spells. What drew me specifically to Mizzix of the Izmagnus was that her ability reduces card cost. One of the most powerful abilities in MTG is cheating mana cost, and here we have an engine that does just that in our command zone. Interestingly enough, I also seem to be a fan of experience counters, as this marks my third experience counter commander!

EDH Staples

Some cards have a place in (nearly) every EDH deck. Most of these so-called staples serve one purpose: color fixing. As the number of colors in a deck increases, so too does the need for color fixing. The primary method of color fixing in the deck is through effective use of dual and fetch lands. My research on the topic has lead me to create what I believe to be an optimized mana base for the deck. This was achieved by removing as many tap lands as possible and replacing them with dual lands that have a way to enter the battlefield untapped.

The Check Lands Show

These lands check to see if you have a given land type under your control. We'll usually have a basic land under our control, making this an easy requirement to meet.

• Sulfur Falls

Command Tower Show

The land of lands in EDH, Command Tower should be in every multicolor EDH deck.

• Command Tower

The Filter Lands Show

These lands are able to tap for a colorless mana on their own, or can be used to filter mana of one color into another color.

• Cascade Bluffs

The Pain Lands Show

An underrated type of dual land, the pain lands deal one damage to you when tapped for either of their colors; however, they can also be tapped for a colorless mana at no penalty.

• Shivan Reef

The Shock Lands Show

Get Shocked in order to get an untapped dual land into play. The shock lands are true color-fixing staples in any format.

• Steam Vents

The Signets Show

Another true color fixing staple, the signets are used in a majority of EDH decks as a colorless source of mana-fixing.

• Izzet Signet

The Talismans Show

Two mana rocks are very good, and the talismans can even produce colored mana. They are now available for every two color combination.

• Talisman of Creativity

Miscellaneous Mana Fixers Show

There are a handful of staple cards that don't really merit their own categories, but should be included nonetheless.

• Arcane Signet - While some may argue whether or not this trumps the signets, there is no argument that it is a powerful mana rock

• Sol Ring - As the saying goes, "Sol Ring, 99 cards to go."

Noteworthy Combos and Synergies

TBA

Removal Suite

Removal is a key concept in many EDH decks. This particular deck has the ability to counter spells, which are a proactive form of removal. The key deciding factor for removal spells in this deck is versatility. Any spell that does more than simply destroy a creature is an outstanding choice. In this deck, our removal is mostly in the form of counterspells and direct damage.

• AEtherize - More often than not, a one-sided board wipe and significant setback for an opponent

• Arcane Denial - The benchmark for counterspells that negate card disadvantage

Sub-Themes

Any given deck has a number of sub-themes running in the background of the overall deck architecture. Our three sub-themes represent a major component of this particular deck.

Copying Show

Once a minor subtheme in this deck, the copying of spells has consistently been cut in favor of other effects. Now only the best copying spell for the deck remains.

• Reiterate - Highly abusable, reusable copy spell when coupled with Mizzix of the Izmagnus
