Hello MTGS! First time poster, long time lurker. I had recently picked up a copy of Vela the Night-Clad and decided to scout out the decklists posted on the very large database. There were a lot of variations of sac/LTB decklists posted, but I did not see that anyone had listed a tribal Wizard variant. Black also has some fun wizards with blue's vast majority of them, so I have attempted to build this. The deck is obviously top-down, and any suggestions are appreciated!
The deck includes a small Trinket Mage package, a few ways to counter opponent's spells via Psychic Trance Ixidor's Will Patron Wizard , and numerous sac outlets and bounce effects to make use of Vela's third ability. The deck seems to be a little high on creatures, but I'm not exactly sure what I would take out and what I would replace it with. More board sweepers like Damnation Life's Finale may help further abuse Vela's third ability.
