'Tis the season for Singleton again; and after having done a lot with Wet Golgari, here's the deck I'm battling with this time around.

1 x Opt
1 x Shivan Fire

1 x Dire Fleet Daredevil
1 x Blink of an Eye
1 x Disdainful Stroke
1 x Essence Scatter
1 x Negate
1 x Search for Azcanta
1 x Mission Briefing
1 x Lava Coil
1 x Azor's Gateway
1 x Treasure Map

1 x Sinister Sabotage
1 x Fight with Fire
1 x Izzet Locket
1 x Beacon Bolt
1 x Ionize

1 x Murmuring Mystic
1 x Crackling Drake
1 x Chemister's Insight
1 x Primal Amulet

1 x The Mirari Conjecture
1 x Precognitive Perception
1 x Jaya Ballard
1 x Ral, Izzet Viceroy

1 x Invert // Invent
1 x Niv-Mizzet, Parun

1 x Star of Extinction

1 x Syncopate
1 x Banefire
1 x Electrodomiance
1 x Entrancing Melody
1 x Mass Manipulation
1 x Expansion // Explosion

Lands (26):
9 x Island
9 x Mountain
1 x Memorial to Genius
1 x Memorial to War
1 x Izzet Guildgate
1 x Highland Lake
1 x Steam Vents
1 x Sulfur Falls
1 x Evolving Wilds
1 x Field of Ruin


Fairly straightforward; control the earlygame using removal and counters while building the engine. Wincons are Ral or Niv, but the main way to end games is using Expansion to copy Fight with Fire or Banefire. The flip lands, Locket and Jaya all help cheat on mana to pay for the top-end spells, and Mission Briefing, The Mirari Conjecture and Invent all help to assemble the combo.

I'd be glad to discuss card choices, if interested.
