Ever since I got back into Magic and pulled a Foil Melek, Izzet Paragon, UR has had a special place in my heart that I've never gotten to work how I wanted it to. I don't want to mess around with artifacts or Eldrazi, I want to cast tons of cards and pull crazy shenanigans! I could never make a decent deck, but with the release of Mizzix of the Izmagnus in the recent Commander precons, I felt the time was ripe for the only format that would properly appreciate Izzet magnificence!

This deck is all about going big or going home. Don't try to wield this in Duel Commander, you'll probably get overrun before the fun starts (though it does have its moments). Mizzix is best played with a big group of friends that are willing to laugh. This deck focuses on big flashy spells and copy effects, using combos like Willbreaker + Descent of Dragons to turn a board upside-down. Take extra turns and draw tons of cards, with plenty of Prowess creatures as backup! Instant and Sorcery synergy is the name of the game, aiming to rack up as many experience counters as you can to cast strings of massive spells.

In one game I pulled Rain of Salt out of an opponent's hand via a Melek-cast Reversal of Fortune, copied it with Twincast, Dualcaster Mage, and Dual Casting, all off of a Raid-enabled Howl of the Horde. Over a dozen lands got wiped off the field for UURRRRRR, and prowess triggers put me far in the lead. I'm hoping to continue to refine this deck for more rare, insane events like this.

Comments and help on this deck are both very appreciated!
