I don't think Nivmagus Elemental works with the Bracers. See what would happen is you would copy his ability, the newest one on the stack would resolve and you would exile your spell, and then the second would fizzle because you have no legal target. Other than that...

I love the idea, I'm just concerned if I played it I wouldn't have enough mana. There isn't much to do with mana fixing in U/R unless you bring in some artifacts... Even with Goblin Electromancer if you're looking to copy something with Nivix Guildmage you still need 4 extra mana, not including the cost of the spell. Seems like you'd get beat in the face before that happened. I would suggest removing the Guildmage and maybe putting in some artifact ramp, or maybe more instants!

Also remember if you have to you can equip Bracers to Stuffy Doll to deal 2 damage instead of one. Kind of a last ditch effort I guess.

Its an old deck i run in Kitchen Magic. Ive since tuned it numerous times since. The bracers double activated abilities, if i were to equip Illusionists bracers to the nivmagus elemental and exile an instant or sorcery it would place double the +1/+1 counters. Illusionists bracers basically doubles anything after a : .

Oh, my bad, you're correct! I was thinking it makes you pay the cost again, but I believe you're right. Got ahead of myself. In that case, that works very well! Haha
