Deck Description

This is my very old, casual, and fun gelectrode pinging deck. It revolves around curiosity getting on gelectrode then abusing the heck out of untapping him and tapping him to get huge card advantage and continueing the cycle. If you have any tips on how to make this deck stronger without investing a ton more money into it that would be great! It also has an instant win combo of niv-mizzet & curiosity + drawing a card. w00t.

Yeah Guttersnipe is one I have been considering, but as is you will usually have 1-2 creatures by turn 3 which is all this deck really needs to start doing it's thing via curiosity/tapping and untapping spells on the stack.

If you have a gelectrode on the table, being able to use flashback on the lava darts allows you to get 6 dmg (3 from lava darts, 3 from the gelectrodes). You can have zero cards in your hand and only 1 gelectrode on the table and deal 7 dmg (1 initially + 6 from the 3 lavadarts coming out of your graveyard) to someones face. I could easily replace them with something like lavaspike or lightning bolt but you get 4 dmg out of a flashbacked lava dart when you have a gelectrode for 1 mana and sacrificing a mountain (note - would only do the sacrificing for the winning dmg) which is equal to the 4 dmg from a lavaspike or lightning bolt (3 + 1 from gelectrode) but it can be split up better. I'm not sure if its really better than lightning bolt but I like having a variety.

ok cool i can dig it.

i like that you could potentially kill a mana dork or something.
and then flash it back to kill something else.
