Deck Description

Rundown is in How to Play as always, be sure to throw me some thumbs if you dig the deck. Comments/suggestions are very welcome, as long as you keep it polite. Thanks. =)

How to Play

Ideally you'll want a Snipe and an Elemental down simultaneously, but just 1 can get the job done. All non-creature casting becomes converted mana cost 1 with at least 1 electromancer down (besides the charms) so let them have it through the Snipes, then/or exile them with the Elemental's ability to ramp him up and swing through with after say, a Gridlock. Sub in Fog Banks to slow the pace if you're getting hammered, drop in the Delvers for added offensive power and sub Electrickery if you need to blast tokens.

Lose goblin electromancer...he isn't as good as you think. Add a playset of RAKDOS CACKLER! :)

I like the mancers to bump all of my casts down, especially Syncopate. Countering your opponents win condition for 1 mana in turn 3-5 makes for heartburn. Not to mention they make decent chump blockers when needed. The Cacklers are always a good idea though. =)

Spasm's Overload is too costly for this decktype. I assume you meant Mercurial Chemister, a good card no doubt but turn 5 is late and his abilities are moot for this deck considering I have draw covered with Think Twice and Izzet Charms and I only have 4 cards with over 2 converted mana cost for his creature burn. Artful Dodge has a place in this deck for swinging through with Nivmagus and it's ability to deal 4 damage for 2 mana with a Snipe down because of flashback.

Nope, Mortars aren't as dynamic as Spears or Pillars and I don't plan on the game lasting to turn 6 to overload it.

You have to cast them to exile them because a card doesn't become a spell until cast. How it works is you cast said instant or sorcery, then put Nivmagus' ability on the stack (which then the spell will NOT resolve) exiling target spell. So, if a Snipe is down, your opponent(s) will still take 2 damage because the instant/sorcery is still being cast, however, it's effect is rendered moot if consumed by Nivmagus.
