I see you've marked the deck as unloved, why?

Well yeah, there is nothing to add. If you just want to be told it looks good I can tell you it does. But I think you already know it looks good. People will only like things that either they are trying to build, or things that surprise them. This is a fine deck, it's just that it isn't all that surprising nor is anyone really looking to build it. Of course when lots of people are looking to build a deck a lot of iterations of said deck will come out, flooding the "economy" of the site if you will. Anyway, good job.

I see your point but I'm posting decks here to have feedback, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?
If you're building decks and you decide they're good, you're being arrogant. If a stranger on the internet tells me my deck looks good, I can believe it really is.

One year ago I left the site because I was sick and tired of seeing Izzet decks. But I don't think I've seen many Palinchron decks lately...

Advice. The original deck ran 4 Force of Will.

Consider the card Impulse. A damn good card that people do not play enough. It ensures you will get the best card in your hand that you would of drawn in 4 turns, the very next turn you play it. If you need a island, play Impulse and put an island first (if it is one of the four cards revealed). If you need Stroke of Genius, put it on top. It is better than Gush. By far!

Take out either the Ponder or Brainstorm...having 1 of each seems to aggravate me, joking aside, this is a very killer deck.

Mystic Tutor or Merchant Scroll to get your Stroke of Genius. You can have 1 of each, yes?

Worldgorger Dragon/Animate Dead is also fun.

Tolarian Academy is classic.

Channel, the very first mana engine. Black Lotus, Channel, Fireball. Mountain. Game over on Turn 1.

Power Artifact/Grim Monolith...kinda the working man's version.

All very good stuff. That is what d3necromaster means. It is hard to make these decks better.

Time Vault/Voltaic Key.
But seriously I know what he meant, my point is you probably CAN make them better. The veri first Trix deck was blue and black, I remade it blue and white. Not saying I can build decks better than world champions, I'm just saying you can always fidget around them and explore other variations.
Thanks for your suggestions tho. I'll implement some changes - not Force of Will, too expensive.
