Deck Description

This deck is a twist on Blue Control on that it causes your opponent to lose life even if all you do is Cancel their Spell. Guttersnipe, Goblin Electromancer, and Archaeomancer are your main tools here, with Mind claw Shaman and Izzet Guildmage helping to further the mayhem with their own talents. Once you get your players into the game, all you have to do is sit back and let your opponent kill themselves as you counter their plays and cost them precious life in the process. Guttersnipe can really hurt when Izzet Guildmage decides to Copy Mizzium Mortars and Electromancer is reducing the casting cost by 2-3 mana. Then Mindclaw not only lets you see your opppnents hand, but when you can cast 2 or more copies of their own spell without paying its Mana Cost? Suddenly that Angelic Edict you were holding onto just became a liability... three times.

How to Play

(Guttersnipe and Izzet Guildmage in play)
Chandra's Fury
*stack* Izzet Guildmage to copy it
*stack* Guttersnipe deals 2 damage for Chandra's Fury and 2 Damage for the Copies Chandra's Fury.

End result:

Opponent loses 12 life and each creature he controls takes 2 damage.

(Guttersnipe, 2 Goblin Electromancer, and Izzet Guildmage in play)
Volcanic Geyser, pay RRRRR
*stack* Goblin Elecrtomancer adds 2C to Volcanic Geyser making X = 6
*stack* Izzet Guildmage Copies Volcanic Geyser
*stack* Guttersnipe deals 2 damage for Volcanic Geyser and 2 damage for the copy.

End result:

Opponent loses 6 life for Volcanic Geyser, 6 Life for Copy, 2 life for VG from Guttersnipe, and 2 for Copy from Guttersnipe. Total Burn = 16 Damage.

Deck discussion for Izzet Control/ Burn

Copy doesn't work with guttersnipe FYI it says cast and copying isn't technically casting sorry man.

Meh. Even still, the damage potential is huge, and Archaeomancer can recycle stuff as I need.
