wizards

A Historic Izzet (blue-red) Wizards/Spells deck that plays like a low-curve tempo-aggro strategy. It uses cheap Wizards like Soul-Scar Mage, Dreadhorde Arcanist, Balmor, Battlemage Captain, and Gandalf, Party Guest to pressure early while backing them up with efficient burn and interaction.

The main synergies come from having lots of Wizards to turn on Wizard’s Lightning and improve cards like Flame of Anor, while cheap spells such as Consider, Play with Fire, and Spell Pierce help maintain tempo and trigger prowess/spell-based payoffs. Dreadhorde Arcanist can reuse low-cost spells for extra value, and Balmor helps turn a flurry of spells into a strong combat step. The deck usually wins by sticking an early threat, chaining cheap instants and sorceries, and finishing the opponent with combat damage plus burn.
