Deck Description

I liked how "Turn to Frog" could turn someone's big, powerful creature into a 1/1 vanilla frog. I originally was going to include a play set of "Izzet Guildmage", in order to copy "Turn to Frog", until a friend told me about "Polymorphist's Jest". Turn all of your opponent's creatures into 1/1 vanilla frogs for three mana? Sold! So, I started conceptualizing this deck and after multiple changes, tweaks, and rebuilding, this is what I came up with. Feedback is greatly appreciated, because no matter how good I think this deck is, it could always be better. Also, given my username, I named this deck after Metallica's song, "Seek and Destroy".

How to Play

Usually, I try to get an Electromancer and a Blistercoil or Cyclops out as soon as possible. With the reduced mana cost, I can "Turn to Frog" some early attacker, beef up my Blistercoil or Cyclops, and kill it without losing my creature. Electrickery can be used after casting a "Turn to Frog" to kill off some stuff early game, or to be used later with "Polymorphist's Jest" with its Overload cost clearing my opponent's field.

Deck discussion for Shrink and Destroy

Digging the 5 mana boardwipe then swinging for major amounts. Good concept, really thinking like an Izzet Mage.
