Nice! Oddly, I'm building a Mizzix deck at the moment too. It is around 10% of the cost and a lot more janky than this (it is a Dragon's Approach deck), but there's some great ideas in here I'll definitely steal.

Steal all the ideas 💡

Thanks for making such a stressful year so much more manageable, guys.

I Love Mizzix, shes my favorite commander and for years until now I did not know the cost paid into X spells count towards experience counters.. my friends and I misunderstood the ruling for it when we looked it up years ago. Thank you for making this video, probably would have not found out for a lot longer haha. The bad fire ball part is what made me realize it btw

I had a mizzix extra turns deck that consistently stormed off turn 5 back in 2018.all these new cards look like amazing additions for even more bonkers plays

As someone who has played a Mizzix deck for a while, you are neither likely nor will you need to get more than 3, maybe 4 experience counters before storming off. Getting there can be tricky, though, because Mizzix is very vulnerable and a prime target (getting her off the board lets you keep the experience counters but you won't get the cost reduction until you cast her again) - and you'll also get attacked a lot because you will usually not have a big board presence while also playing a combo deck.

I love this video from the bottom of my heart!!! Thank you guys sooo much! And yes reality spasm is insane in this deck. With fireminds foresight you get reiterate reality spasm and and the buyback counter. And as long as you got 4 exp counters you get infinite mana and storm with protection. Also phantal image needs to stay, because it can copy a dockside from an opponent or storm kiln artist for easy infinite mana! There are a lot of changes i gonna do for sure with all the good ideas you had! But in my meta and mostly cedh decks im facing i need stuff like cursed totem in this deck^^ I love you guys as much as i can wothout making you unconfortable^^.

Firemind's Foresight only tutors instants, it can't get sorceries. You can grab Mystical Tutor for the 1 cost, so that's a roundabout why to get a sorcery from it if you need one.

One interesting thing about Mizzix is that her design is just a bit unusual and she lacks an intervening if. If she had one, then it would weaken the Veyran/Harmonic Prodigy interactions with her because casting a 3 cost when you have two XP Counters would actually just fizzle the triggers that try to take it higher. But since she doesn’t have one and only checks the MV to XP comparison on cast they do a lot of heavy lifting

I built a Vadrik deck, and even though it has a very similar effect to missix it has a far more high risk high reward gameplan, which makes some of the cards in this list not as compatible with the deck, however, I have been having a lot of fun with him, somethimes even struggling in trying not to win.

Man I love this channel

This commander feels like an unset card. It just has that art style to me.

the positive way to frame this is that now you have the opportunity to experience the deck twice, or know that you have a list of upgrades for if you need to increase the power level appropriately for a playgroup or event-ready prepared arsenal

A nuance with Buyback/Kicker, those are alternate costs and do not affect the CMC/Mana Value. Mizzix can reduce the alternate costs, but will not add experience counters unless the original CMC/Mana Value is greater than the existing counters. X spells modify the CMC/Mana Value on the stack and still increase the counters.

The channel you're thinking of would probably be CinnamonToastKen. It's a reaction channel. They do the same thing, but slightly different. I recently pulled a list printing of Izmagnus, haven't built the deck yet though. I'll get to it within the next month probably. I have like 5 decks in the works, with around 22 decks currently built.

For anyone who loves mizzix, I would like to recommend krark + sakashima as partners. They are EXTREMELY powerful, even able to make a good cedh deck if you want to upgrade that far, but they can storm off pretty fast even in low - mid power budget decks.

@@spudster8887 harmonic is much better for doubling the triggers if you want that. Sakashima gets blown out if they remove mizzix in response. Also, other than X spells, doubling your cost reduction doesn't do much if it's already high. And spark double is the same but makes mizzix a little bigger. Id much rather run phantasmal image to copy your own or opponents docksides than a clone that can hit your commander. If I ran sakashima or spark double, they aren't bad, but they would be one of my first cuts to improve power.

I agree that they could make it more clear on screen. However, it is pretty clear that they are adding both of them based on what he says. He said "I think these are important" going on to explain that the X spells are much worse without Mizzix, so you want high cost spells that work when Mizzix isn't in play, but can take advantage of Mizzix when she is in play. Dig and Treasure Cruise both have the delve backup to be cast for cheap without Mizzix in play and both of them help you dig past any X spells when you are delving, or get the X spells when you are casting them using Mizzix.

Didnt know buyback could be reduced with generic reduction, learned something new even after several years, also is the kicker interaction the same?

When the spell is on the stack, the value of X equals the amount you paid into it, otherwise it is 0.

This commander checks the cost on cast and on cast x spells have a value, so x spells will cost however much you pay into it and will scale as experience counters grow

I’ve been playing mizzix as storm since it came out. The best card in the deck is by far fireminds foresight. Eot get high tide, reality spasm and frantic search very rarely doesn’t win me the game in the spot. But if I’m in a specific scenario I can always toolbox the fireminds foresight instead which is sooo clutch

I think not having both krark and sakashima in the deck list is a major mistake personally. Considering how efficient mizzix makes your spells, the sometimes downside of krark bouncing your spells to hand doesn't really matter, and sakashima can double up any of the creatures in your deck, which just makes everything compound even harder. Also you don't want mizzix for cedh, shes just not up to scratch anymore.

wait i was told you couldnt put off color fetch lands in a commander deck?

@Arvensa

Basic Land Types in the type line of a land inherently mean the text box is treated as though it contains the corresponding mana abilities. i.e. Steam Vents is treated as though the text box contains the abilities "{T}: Add U" and "{T}: Add R" that means Steam Vents is not legal in a deck whose commander's color identity does not contain both Blue and Red Fetchlands do not have Basic Land Types in their type line, and do not otherwise have colored mana symbols in their rules text. Therefore, they are not restricted from inclusion in any deck. Mentions of Basic Land Types in the rules text of a card do not matter for that card's inclusion eligibility. Another example of this is Farseek, which mentions every Basic Land Type except Forest and yet is not limited to Five-Color decks. You simply cannot actually fetch any actual off-color land with a Fetchland because that fetched card would not be legal to run in the deck. I.e. Polluted Delta will not be able to get you any Swamp, but it will still let you get any Island that does not otherwise violate your commander's color identity, including Basic Islands and Steam Vents as well as the few other options of nonbasic land with the Basic Land Type Island. That means all of the Fetchlands that can get an Island or a Mountain (or either one in the case of Scalding Tarn) are eligible to run in a Mizzix deck. _______________ (you may already know this but just to cover the base:) This provides you superior mana fixing by virtue of running the U&R version of all of the nonbasic cycles with Basic Land Types, and is additionally useful in a given deck for the following potential reasons: 1.allows you to shuffle your deck on command reliably enough to empower you to get advantage from Brainstorm and other deck manipulation that does not put the unwanted cards away from the top of the library 2. Triggers landfall twice by playing and then activating the Fetchland, if your deck cares about that 3. Putting another (land) card in your graveyard, for example as fuel for spells with Delve, to be counted by e.g. Lord of Extinction or Centaur Vinecrasher, or to have more targets for Life from the Loam or Lord Windgrace 4. Triggering land sacrifice effects like Titania Protector of Argoth or The Gitrog Monster, or Mazirek Kraul Death Priest 5. (This one is pretty statistically insignificant but I'll mention it anyway) Deck thinning there may be one or two more escaping me at the moment

1st!

I would take whisper of the muse out of the deck tbh. I have a mizzix deck, and the deck is always always always starved on colored mana, spending 1 blue mana to draw a card is just almost never worth it (I had it in my deck for a while and I almost never cast it, there was always always better things to do with my blue mana). Tezzeret's gambit is also legit broken in the deck. If you have 3 + counters its free, plus it proliferates. I also quite like the 4 mana scry 4 draw 2 card spells, they let you churn through your deck extremely fast, and while they look really bad they always always always overperform. I also quite like Increasing vengeance as well. The number of times I have flashed that back on time stretch on like turn 5 is too many to count. Fun fact. When I first build the deck I bought a wheel of fortune and a time spiral for the deck, and I spent 15$ on the wheel, and 30$ on the time spiral and was irritated I was spending nearly 50$ on two cards. Edit: Also last time I played the deck, I went mana rock on turn 2 into Storm-Kiln artist on turn 3, played Mizzix on turn 4 and won the game that turn. Mizzix is super strong and very very fun to play. It was close to a magic christmas land draw, I admit, but Git probe into contentious plan does some pretty nutty things with MIzzix and Storm-Kiln on the field. Deck has a fairly good chance of winning most the time if you untap with mizzix once and almost always wins if you ever untap with her twice. Oh I have also won a game by casting a giant temporal fissure followed by a narsett + windfall, good times. You know for me. Edit again: Laquatus's Creativity is also a pretty neat card in the deck. It is 4 and U, draw cards equal to the number of card in your hand, then discard that many cards. It is often U, draw 8+ cards, discard 8+ cards. I like it better then some of the draw X spells like brain geyser, because multiple colored mana symbols is kind of painful for the deck. Also I missed the Gambit in the deck, ignore the previous statement.

First!

Fetches arent too bad because you can shortcut them, but they are what make numerous decks viable.They add more strategies to the meta than they take away, so i find them worth keeping in the format, even if they occasionally cause a few seconds of slowdown. Theres also tons of crazy tech you can do with them. My favorite being using initution to grab a spell + 2 fetch lands, then using a fetch to grab mystic sanctuary and return the spell to the top of your library.
