Apologies chronoexe for seeming elitist
I actually value positive criticism and I actually have taken into account people's comments and made some changes to the decklist as a result. Sorry for being rude I just got a bit defensive when people just assume outright that I'm a trash deckbuilder/player for wanting to build a fun budget peasant deck

however in my honest opinion taking out the control in a deck that relies too much on cyclops being alive and putting in hidden strings (i say why it's a bad choice in earlier comments) doesnt seem like a good idea

I feel it's not worth splashing green for removal especially when black white has pretty decent answers for controlly cards

I think I commented at least 3 times already before but nobody seems to read the comments or description anyway
I said this deck has the POTENTIAL to win turn 4, not that it WILL win turn 4

also in the description i've also said to only drop your combo once you're prepared with the sufficient counterspells in your hand to stop any removal

Yes but the deck would still remain competitive without steppe lynx and fetches
Also the main wincon of WW quest cry is through argentum armour on a flier like ornithopter/skyfisher/glinthawk
the weenie questcry bit (where steppe lynx comesin) is plan b

"By the way Izzet Blitz runs hidden strings because it's a free spell that could also tap the opponent's only blockers and get you the win, and teleportal gives your Cyclops +4/+0 Artful Dodge Cycles in months and gives the creature +6/+0 and potentially functions on two turns and functions even after it has been countered"

The original Izzet Blitz deck by travis woo doesn't even run hidden strings because it has a full playset of artful dodge. Hidden string is bad choice too especially because you're running so many flashback cards you dont even need the cipher proc. need i remind you that cipher only procs when you deal combat damage too so you can only tap blockers afterwards when you''re already past the combat stage as well as that Hidden strings isnt even instant speed.

If i wanted to play Izzet Blitz with Innistrad block I would've just copied travis woo's decklist

jesus I'm planning for the future if you didn't notice
To be honest Ill probably build izzet blitz with innistrad now since they're pretty cheap but as soon as it rotates ill switch to something like this

drop cyclops
you try counter/remove
I dispel/negate/izzet charm
I attack with cyclops
you try remove
I hexproof/dispel/negate/izzet charm

vses control id bring in more lategame powerhouses like aetherling or jace since i know it's going to be a longer game

dude im not going to even continue arguing this is a 20 dollar deck
do you really think im out to win PTQs with this?

If you read the article you could've just run plains and other powerful 1 drops like elitevanguard/ardent recruit instead of lynx/fetches
yeah they're nowhere near as powerful as a landfall'd steppe lynx but the deck can still function very well without them; they aren't essential to the strategy

If you read the description...
I know ring of wishes is a trash card but blue/red has no other tutors available
I'll probably sub it in for Uncovered clues anyway

read sideboard notes for control

don't come into the comments section without fully understanding what you're talking about

Is it wrong the plan for the future?
This is what Nivix Blitz will probably look like after Innistrad rotates anyway

I like the first 2 suggestions but young pyromancer is a bit too slow for my taste
The 1/1 tokens don't really do that much (yes they can chump block but I can just counter anything that they play or burn it)

My strat only revolves attacking once when you're ready and countering anything that wants to remove nivix when he's pumped up
If you hadn't read the damn descriptions I said I only want cards post rotation so no artful dodge
Because i'm only attacking once the cipher on Hidden strings is useless especially because I can make cyclops unblockable with teleportal

"And don't try and do it for 20 bucks because There is no such thing as A standard budget deck, the cheapest you can get is mono- red Burn. But even that is $50.00. Good luck with the deck and take my advice."
Frank Karsten's Quest Cry http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=9473
He took it on Paris Pro Tour and went 15-5
If you took out the $20 fetchlands in the main deck then the cost would be $20
Budget decks that are competitive are hard to find but they do exist

Deck relies too heavily on Cyclops combo not to run controlly cards
the deck you saw was probably a variant of Izzet Blitz which is a far greater build because you have the cheap draw and flashback effects that the Innistrad block offers

Yeah Izzet Blitz is a superior deck because it has so much draw and Nivix Cyclops and Flashback is OP

But Innistrad is rotating out so...
