I decided I wanted to try to make a deck around Echo Mage because I loves it and the possibilities. I burn you, twice! (I'm an old-schooler who is getting back into the game, so I'm just discovering a lot of cards.) So after searching the site and similar decks, I've come up with a bunch of stuff that will fit. I tried whittling it down as much as I could, but any help cutting it down is much appreciated! NOTE: This deck is built on the cheap. Even the rares are rather inexpensive. Not saying I don't appreciate the input, but I just don't have resources at the moment to get the big stuff, hence no Chandra or anything. Thanks in advance! :)

So, just some quick thoughts. Id trade aether tradewinds out for into the roil. And you could use some more proliferate, Tezzeret's Gambit is great. and ive never been a fan of red sun's zenith so i would take it out, but, its up to you. Welcome back to magic ^.^, hope i helped.

Thanks for the comment! I do like Tezzeret's Gambit, I may have to squeeze them in. I'm not attached to the Zenith, but I do think it's a pretty solid X damage that I can split, and reshuffling is just gravy. I didn't want to be too light on burn, as it was my initial intention with the deck. Is there just too much going on here to ever really do what it's supposed to do? Thanks again for the kind word :)
Few more cards to look in to. Thrumming bird, volt charge, fuel for the cause. Kargan Dragonlord. idk bout if theres to much going on. Here is the basic strategy im thinking of looking at this deck. Get an echo mage out and leveled up, some preordains or augery owls or things that let you get threw your deck faster would help out here, at this stage would be devoting mana to leveling it up and holding counters back to protect it. Once you can start duplicating spells, you get heavy hitter level up creatures out, and if you play spells with proliferate and copy em those will all level up fast. And you have the big spells to copy for finishers. You could do with taking the unsummons out also in favor of counters. idk if your going for standard here or not.
Really appreciate the feedback. Volt charge is perfect, can't believe I forgot it. I would like ponder or something in there, just don't know what to pull. I'm already dangerously close to not having enough levelers. Will drop unsummon/tradewind for into the roil. Still need to fit Tezzeret's Gambit, volt charge, maybe another counter (mana leak)? Hmmm. I'm terrible at cutting down to 60. I guess that comes from playtesting. The dragonlord would be awesome, even 1. If I ever get my hands on him, I'll know exactly where to put him. I like the thrummingbird, too. Choices, choices, choices....
Oh, and as for standard, not really too worried about it. Most of the leveler stuff goes out with the new block anyways, so it would kind of kill it. We'll have to see what Innistrad has to offer.
Made some tweaks. Added in Mana Leak, Volt Charge, Into the Roil. I would like to fit in some draw (Ponder/Preordain), and I still think it's a bit light on the levelers. But I'm stuck now. It was hard enough getting what I have down to 60...
I'm really questioning the viablility of this deck, though I suppose I should playtest before I kill the idea. But I've been thinking... anyone think using Echo Mage in combo with Reverberate/Twin Cast + any burn would be realistic? It just seems so.. fun. I would love to be able to quadruple cast a bolt or zenith, though it would require a bit of mana. And thanks for the likes!
