Description

Input Appreciated!

Intro

This a Jankenstein's Monster I've been working on since Kaldheim dropped.  Initially it was an Izzet Midrange brew that I really enjoyed, but I wanted something a little flashier.  I cut out the grindier aspects of the original deck and added in the Beanstalk Giantimages and Genesis Ultimatumimage.  I'm quite pleased with the results!

Piloting

This deck operates in 2 different ways, using Glimpse the Cosmosimage and Invasion of the Giantsimage to dig through your deck: 

I choose Mode 1 when playing against slower decks like ramp, yorion, control and Mode 2 for quicker decks such as aggro, midrange, Lurrus, discard

Core Cards

image

Battle of Frost and Fireimage is amazing in this deck. Stage 1 is often just a blowout against aggro & midrange decks, the scry 3 lets you dig deep and hit what you need. finally, it helps reload your hand in a pinch. Shoutout to all my uncast Quakebringerimages pitched to this card.

Quakebringerimage does WORK.  He pings from the graveyard (4 dmg with Calamity Bearerimage), hoses entire decks by cucking lifegain, and often works for a discount from Invasion of the Giantsimage

The Royal Scionsimage is versatile here. Looting is great for card selection, tossing Glimpse the Cosmosimage is great synergy.   It's +2/+0, Trample, and First Strike is a nuisance, and the ultimate absolutely demands dealing with

Cyclone Summonerimage is the unsung hero against Yorion Valuetown.dec and clogged boardstates everywhere [Insert The More You Know PSA meme]

Pros/Cons

Strengths

  • Incredible card selection
  • Solid removal suite
  • Good matchups against most strategies
  • Explosive late game
  • Resilient against board wipes
  • Powerful synergies

Weaknesses

  • Hand dusruption
  • Mill/Rogues
  • Angels tribal's high toughness
  • Counter heavy control decks 

Future Revisions & Modifications

Klothys, God of Destinyimage is an intriguing option. Damage & Lifegain, Graveyard hosing, and ramp.  Seems like really solid 3 drop.

 

Squashimage is easily cuttable, its just a pet card for the deck. Hard removal like Ravenformimage might be an easy replacement or Soul Searimage. Possibly counter like Neutralizeimage, Saw It Comingimage, Mystical Disputeimage, or Disdainful Strokeimage

You should be able to cut a Glimpse the Cosmosimage, Calamity Bearerimage, or Quakebringerimage for some other desirable cards 

 

If you've gotten this far and you decide to pilot this, tell me what you think you would cut out or have any ideas for a sideboard to take this to Bo3 games

Chopping Block:

2xSquashimage 

Edit 1: Trimmed Tectonic Giantimage, Aegar, the Freezing Flameimage (holdovers from the Izzet variant) & added 1 more Beanstalk Giantimage, Battle of Frost and Fireimage
