Pioneer MtG — Izzet Combo Drakes vs. Dimir Rogues (Rematch)
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 2021-10-27

Kris playing Dimir Rogues? I think that I know who gave Mark the deck earlier in the tournament.

Having actual flying creatures can annoying for me to try to overcome, since trying to "go off" without Crash Through to give trample can be beaten by the pseudo-lord with flash and flying. Add interaction like Drown in the Loch and you have yourself quite a time getting through.

Here's the Izzet Drakes decklist:
Creatures (12)
4 Crackling Drake
4 Enigma Drake
4 Sprite Dragon
Instants (19)
4 Lightning Strike
4 Opt (which should be Consider by now, honestly)
4 Temur Battle Rage
4 Unleash Fury
3 Wild Slash
Sorceries (8)
4 Crash Through
4 Expressive Iteration
Lands (22)
1 Island
3 Mountain
2 Shivan Reef
4 Spirebluff Canal
4 Steam Vents
4 Sulfur Falls
4 Temple of Epiphany (2 of which should be Shivan Reef)
Sideboard (15)
3 Anger of the Gods
2 Bonecrusher Giant
1 By Force
2 Dispel
1 Flame Sweep (which likely should be another Anger of the Gods)
3 Negate
1 Niv-Mizzet, Parun
2 Smash to Smithereens
