Deck Description

This deck was initially Blue and Red. But I found that I needed more mana as I was often limited to casting only one or two spells a turn. The addition of Green makes it a lot faster.

The idea with this deck is to have a hefty amount of creatures available at all times, some enabling you to block while giving added bonuses. The real killers in this deck are Guttersnipe and Nivix Cyclops. Melek, Izzet Paragon is a definite game-changer.

Hidden Strings and Way of the Thief should be ciphered/attached to Nivix Cyclops. Hidden Strings should be used to untap your lands to further fuel the casting of spells while damaging all opponents with Guttersnipe.

Unfortunately, since I've just started a completely new collection, my choice of cards is slightly limited (I sold my old collection, pre-2007). Ideally I'd like to cut down on the size of the deck and also have more consistent cards (4 offs rather than 1 offs). Inspiration and Opportunity should be taken out to add divination and I have seen some nice other cards that could be added, such as:

- Mercurial Chemister;
- Epic Expirement;
- Stolen Identity;
- Teleportal.

My deck is a work in progress, but have played against a variation of other decks and mostly won. This includes a sliver deck, black-only discard and burn, black and white heavy-hitters and more.

How to Play

Depending on the opponent, the key is to get as many of your creatures out as soon as possible. Hold tight with the instants and sorceries unless they're needed. Once you are happy with the amount and types of creatures in play (couple of Guttersnipes, Melek, Nivix Cyclops), start casting instants and sorceries. If you have a limited amount available in your hand, try to save some for your next turn also. Keep hitting your opponents consistently.
