If you have some Izzet lands then Izzet Wizards is an easy craft. Only need a playset of Soul-Scar Mage and Dreadhorde Arcanist plus 1-2 Flame of Anor for nonland rares, everything else is common or uncommon
Thanks! Looks like this is the deck you’re talking about? It just might be doable…
Yeah that’s it! Though I’d run Soul-Scar over Delver if you have the wildcards because of how common Bowmasters is. The nice thing about Wizards is that none of them die to a single Bowmasters even if they do flash it in response to a cantrip.
Just wanted to circle back to say thanks for the tip, I did craft Izzet Wizards and only dropped one game (to a mill deck that had 3 [[Ruin Crab]]s by turn 2) on my way to getting the five wins. I made do with the lands I had but crafted the Soul-Scar Mages. Partway through I remembered that some of this weekend’s Arena Championship competitors were playing the same deck, and made some tweaks to get closer to their lists. Don’t know whether the decks I faced were supposed to be competitive, but I saw zero Bowmasters or One Rings so probably not.
Nice! Wizards is a very efficient deck for how cheap it is and the rares transfer over to other decks very well so it’s always what I recommend. But I’m also biased since I love blitz style decks so I’m glad it worked out for you too!
