Izzet Triggering

by oblivianahiliation on 16 February 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (13 cards)

Creatures (1)


Sorceries (1)


Instants (10)

Planeswalkers (1)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

The deck is centered around all of the izzet combos with instant and sorcery spells, i particularly enjoy nivmagus elementals.

How to Play

Load up on creatures with cool spell triggers then cast away. Cool combos include the cypher cards which trigger abilities even if a nivmagus elemental eats the copy.

Type in Turn // Burn, or just type Turn and it should show up in the drop box.

I actually made this deck, I'm surprised someone else also came up with the idea. My deck went through tons of stages of development but it was excruciating trying to maintain consistency in the deck. The biggest problem with the deck to be had is the inherent lack of draw spells. Divination is very suboptimal unless Hypersonic Dragon is on the field, but with most removal it wouldn't be surprising to see it die before the end of your turn.

This was my latest version of the deck before I deconstructed

My most recent plans for the future deck were to add black. Pain Seer is easy to tap down in the deck.

After long processes of thought, testing, and lack of direction, I finally just decided to wait until Journey Into Nyx and hope Keranos can help the deck as much as possible.

Ive actualy had a lot of success with this deck, i dont quite have all the cards i need but its still pretty good. My biggest problem is board wipe which, unfortunately, is pretty common in standard. But i cant think of a way arround it except maybee countermagic.

Oh- I used to have lots of success! I was winning FNM consistently coming in 1st or second. The deck just suddenly started losing, some change I made to it or something just made it unable to win anymore. I can tell you for sure that Ral Zarek is not helping the deck. I've never had a moment with him where he actually helped. It would be more beneficial to run a Firedancer mainboard, since most decks in the format aside from Esper Control are heavily creature based.

This is the first izzet deck ive seen that actualy looks competetive, there is a space between turn and the // and the burn, hope this helps.

Ill add the blue red temple (most likely inspiration) after into the nyx comes out. Hopefully keranos will be awesome for this deck but i doubt it.
