Deck Description

Hey everyone, I am fairly new to magic and this is my first standard deck. I am currently using it at FNM with mixed results.

The deck focuses mainly on the effects of Goblin Electromancer/Guttersnipe/Talrand.

It is only a prototype, so any suggestions would be really appreciated.

How to Play

Main goal of this deck is to reap the benefits of Goblin Electromancer/Guttersnipe/Talrand. As such they should be the focus in early game.

Deck discussion for Controlled Burn

I would utilize Delver of Secrets over Invisible stalker. Stalker is only good if you get a pike on him or some other enchantment. I would drop Essence Backlash for Cyclonic Rift. Cyclonic Rift should have a spot in this deck - when your opponent gets a tough creature on the field that you cuoldn't counter, Cyclonic Rift (or even unsummon) can usually buy you a full turn, as they will have likely used all their mana to cast this one spell and now they have to cast it again the next turn. Cylconic Rift has an excellent Overload effect as well.

Here is my U/R Tempo which has won a couple of FNM's for me and always gets me into the top 8 (about 30 -50 players at my shop)

Also, Snapcaster Mage is amazing but very expensive, so I understand if you don't want to drop 100$ for them

Appreciate the advice. I did swap out Essence Backlash for Cyclonic rift. I am talking to some people about working out some deals for a couple snapcaster mages. Will probably swap out invisible stalkers for them( Don't have any Delver of Secrets yet).

When I get the deck updated, I will post here and let ya know how it works.
