Deck Description

This is what I like to call a "Turn-and-Burn" kind of a deck, because of the amount of karma that this deck inflicts upon its opponents. Take the card Essence Backlash as an example: if the opponent tries to summon, say, a big fatty like Worldspine Wurm, then they take a total of 15 damage on the spot. This deck also uses the two guild leaders from both the Return to Ravnica block, and its predecessor, Ravnica: City of Guilds, for both flavor and an efficient combo for play.

How to Play

This deck is primarily a Combo-Control-Burn deck. Because of this kind of all-around archetype, the deck is also extremely flexible. The main combo in this deck is the use of both Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius. First, you want to attack for evasion damage with Dracogenius, which will trigger his draw ability. In doing so, you trigger the Firemind's 1 damage and direct it at a player. Then, you continue using Dracogenius's two mana damage ability to continue the cycle, and you could finish by dealing 11 damage in one turn, plus all the other burn abilities that your other cards have.
