Here's the stuff that costs more than $20 a card:Blightsteel colossus (~$80)Twilight Prophet (~30)Bloom Tender (~$25)Zacama, Primal Wellspring (~$30)Avacyn, Angle of Hope (~$35)Kozilek, Butcher of Truth (~$75)Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre (~$70)Time Stretch (~$30)City of Brass (~$30)Mana Confluence (~$25)Prismatic Omen (~$20)Prismatic Vista (~$25)Reflecting Pool (~$30)Breeding Pool (~$20)Sacred Foundry (~$20)Holy Cow. These 15 cards account for a whopping $570 of the roughy 800 cost. oh boy.

I found my copy and moved it over. I need to update this list as I also got a few other key cards; namely emberwilde captain and krenko, tin street along with a copy of path to exile.

nice deck
Ty! this is simply the "average" decklist from EDH REC. I like to template that deck and tune it to my liking. I will be posting a customized list for her within the week (currently working on a purphoros buildout)
I like this deck a lot. My wife is building a commander deck with the new niv-mizzet and we totally missed a lot of the "discard your hand, then draw X/7" effects. This is a big step forward for that deck. TY friend.
I think you may have added shadow rider by mistake.Otherwise it's a VERY cool deck concept. I feel like it has a good balance between raw power and wacky EDH shenanigans. If you have any game play stories or tips keep me updated. My wife is making a more "traditional" izzet with niv mizzet and we came across the partners during our search; they are very interesting to say the least.
Two weeks since I played. Excited to head out soon. I've been mulling the list over and over (Not much to do when I'm waiting for drives to clone). Decided that I wanted to keep the curve down and keep it sligh. Shocks in the main to mitigate the elves, red deck and control matchups. So all of them.A few little tweaks before I head out.I subtracted:1x Vanquisher's BannerI moved the following to my Side Board:2x Demanding Dragon1x MountainI added:1x Fanatical Firebrand1x Goblin TrashmasterI moved the following from the Sideboard to the Mainboard:3x ShockI'll keep ya posted. Need to do some trading as well; can't decide between Boros Dinos and Gruul Dinos. Maybe I'll just grab the red parts and see what spoilers for Ravnica have to offer.I am trying to pick stuff up quickly, despite my budgetary concerns. I feel Boros is going to be looking good sooner than later.
appreciate the feedback. changes made and field testing to follow.the 2cc slot is funny but i think the amount of 1cc is good. skirk prospector is good for this as well, thank you. I had him but cut him back at some point apparently.
How vital is it that you stay Mono green? would you be willing to splash red? The only reason i ask is because several of my friends run a ono green splash red deck that only adds 2x hammer of purphoros and either messengers speed or hellraiser goblin. dropping a khalonian hydra with haste and trample is too much for most people. right now your running 10 total bombs (over 4 converted mana cost) but your only running twenty land. elvish mystic is fine to count on for ramp but having a courser in your hand doesnt get you more land if you only draw three land the whole game. in order for sylvan caryatid to help you you have to drop it turn two. you have to have two lands in your opening hand or one land and an elvish mystic. Then you have to hit your first two land drops to play anything else. its a lot better imo to pick the most essential bombs (i would go 3 khalonian hydra, 3 mistcutter 2 garruk and 2 pulkranos) for total of 8 big bombs and ten total bombs. the primordial is far too expensive even with ramp since he doesnt win you the game when he drops (you should have won well before you drop him). garruk is an enabler and often times you should win before you hit his emblem anyway.
i would swap hellrider in for hero of oxid ridge. it still deals four damage on a swing, it has an extra toughness, its ability is static, and the damage is dealt before blockers are even declared. when your staring down a wurmcoil engine with your opponent at four life, a hellrider wins. also, i rely heavily on volt charge and the card is amazing. turn 1 stromkirk, turn two swing stormblood, turn three swing, before damage is dealt (instant speed ^_^) volt charge, proliferate. turn three, opponent at nine life. GG. also, i would definately go for gutshot instead of geistflame. your trying to win so quick that being able to play the spell for free is way more of an advantage that trying to recur it, besides the fact that with only 22 land if you could recur it i'm sure you'd rather be doing something else anyway. that ones a lot more of a personal preference (i run neither) but thats the way i would go if i were you.
got third (out of four lol) beat mono blue storm, got beat by elves and something weird lol.total so far: 3 pts
will post notes and results every week after tournament.
Omg best deck evar! great job dude-man. nailed it!
