[Deck] Wizards

[Avenged Sevenfold]

I had tested a W/B/U version and a R/B/U version. The R/B/U version consisted with Fire/Ice's and Grim Lavamancers. In the W/B/U I had used Meddling Mage's and Swords. I found the Splash of white worked better than Red in a control metagame.
The only REAL mox in this deck is saphire as the other mox's werent added since they are only colour splashes. Im thinking of putting Decree of Justice in this deck since mana isnt hard to build up with mix's of Mana Drains, Mox's, Black Lotus. Please comment.

what's the point of running an all wizard deck if there is no reason to? You should think about putting some sort of tribal cards in it.

[Master Tap]

The reason is 1 wizard draws cards another says lock out a card the last wizard says I have 12 more counters in my deck.

[Harry Lime]

This looks a bit like EBA, but it doesn't have any fat beats like that deck does (i.e. Phyrexian Negator, Exalted Angel). I don't think there are any Wizards to match their raw power though, but I do think you need something bigger than 2 power to put your opponent on a faster clock. Are you sticking with Wizards for the Voidmage-counter ability, or is this a casual/tribal style deck?

Also, Mystical Tutor might be better over the Vampiric, since you run so few non-sorcery/instant spells. No loss of life, and it can pitch to Force of Will if need be.

Read Voidmage Prodigy more carefully buddy.

Rather than fat beats, I went with a weenie'ish sort of kill. Vampiric Tutor>Mystical Tutor because at times grabbing creatures is more important(even if the loss of life does apply). I know the deck would function better with more fatties but I just feel like keeping at a small wizard sort of deck.

Fair enough. You might want to include some more creatures in that case though, since right now you only have eight 2 power guys and four 1 power. Have you thought about Patron Wizard? He costs 3 blue, but that shouldn't be too big of a problem outside of a multi-Wasteland/Stripmine draw.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Patron wizard. Ive never seen that card being played but it would be interesting to try out since its a wizard rush deck, the tapping wizards to patron should work qiute well. What would you take out however?

[Harry Lime]

Maybe

+ 3 Patron Wizard

- 1 Dust Bowl
- 1 Stifle
- one other card, or maybe a spot in the sideboard

I had twiddled around with the deck and added patron wizards.

[Smash]

Patron wizard was much too slow/awkward to work in t2 or block. It only gets worse in t1 (even with more good wizards to choose from).

Your first deck list was better

I think im going to take out the patron wizard, not for the fact of being slow or awkward, but my wizards are always tapped from attacking making it difficult to tap untapped wizards to juice the Patron. Back to the original list up top. Any other suggestions?

[Raven Fire]

4 Mana Drain

Why are you running these when you have only one true mana sink (Mind Twist)?  You are better off running Dazes or even vanilla Counterspells.

[Nameless]

I'd love to see a few Bonesplitters in this deck to really speed things up.

Also, you need Volrath's Stronghold if this is the road you want to go down.  You can always sacrifice a Meddling Mage to a Voidmage to counter a spell, retreive the Pikula, and cast it again with a reset switch.  Plus, the Stronghold suddenly gives you a recurring counter mechanic working for you.

[riggy]

Instead of the Patron Wizard, you could run Mundungu. He doesn't have as much synergy with the rest of your wizards as the patron does, but if you're trying to rush him with weenies, then his ability to affect life totals may become important in the long games.

I'm not saying it's a great choice, but I think I'd take him over the Patron.

[Attmore]

If you want to go wizards you could try running:

Wandering Mage
Ivory Gargoyal
Necropotence/Bargain
Fasting (tech)!  

JK!  But this is a really fun deck I throw together at times, very non-competitive.   :lol:  
This deck just doesn't take damage (Wandering Mage throwing counters on the Gargoyal), it skips it's draw due to Necro/Bargain and Gargoyal and gains life for not drawing on the draw step from Fasting!  On a serious note though, this deck can't really compete, but if you're talking about a wizard deck surely you can't be talking about competitive magic.  Just my thoughts.

Maybe Side Coffin Queen:
