Normal unlocks are available to all. Promotional unlocks are most likely gained in promotional events, meaning I won't be seeing any of them.

Edit: This deck has some really nice stuff. Breaking Point looks fantastic, especially if you manage to burn your opponent for it to matter.
However, the mana curve is just wrong. There's a lot of flashy high-cost stuff and no way to protect them.



 
I'm not going to lie that's ridiculous. There's people that play this game that are not near a store, I myself like about an hour away from the nearest store. I really hope this isn't the case or make it to where people who can't attend to an event get it another way.

to everybody saying that gelectrode should be the core of the deck, you should probably get your mind away from that thinking if you want to be able to appreciate this deck for what it is. What is there 4 copies of that could possibly form the core of this deck? that's right, Wee Dragonauts .


So perhaps people should start thinking about how you'd build around this card. That's what I'd do.



I have a list that I have down to 64 cards, of what I think an optimal build of this deck may look a bit like:


1x  niv mizzet 
4x Wee Dragonauts   
3x arc lightning
1x schismotivate
2x petrahydrox   
2x electrolyze  
1x reverberate  
3x prophetic bolt
2x spellbound dragon   
2x steamcore weird   
2x razorfin hunter
4x terramorphic expanse
2x conquering manticore
2x  compulsive research 
1x sphinx of magosi
1x time warp 
2x Izzet Chronarch 
2x thunder strike 


0 1 2  3   4  5 6
4 0 7 15  4  8 4

Maybe I'm way off the mark (I probably am), but I think this deck would revolve around smashing face with dragonauts and spelldragons. This build doesn't really suit niv mizzet, but I think he still has a place here.

Well it's definitely better than Cloudburst, as said, and I do wish it had more Gelectrode (my favorite card ever printed). Either way I'm definitely going to be running this deck. I love Goblins, and I love Purple decks, so I'm ecstatic that they have both in this game now. I like fun over winning, so being able to play this deck in a 4way planechase... priceless. Can't wait for the DLC to hit, I'll buy it day one. 

But seriously, WHAT ARE PROMO CARDS?

Promo unlocks are probably the Expansion 1 unlocks. Not really relevant to this deck, but the core game decks will have 10 "promo" unlocks when you buy the expansion.

Why differentiate between normal unlocks and expansion 1 unlocks when the whole deck is released with Exp1?
If that is the case, cool. I'll be able to run my single Gelectrode even if it's not useful at all.

I don't get why there's only 1 Gelectrode when you've got 2-3 copies of most of the large creatures. Aside from that, I do like the looks of this deck. Not sure what to make of all the Breaking Point s though.

I absolutely love it, megamaster125. The more the better. It's a fantastic card that I will run in my deck no matter what, simply because of how it works. You're in a 4 way, everyone is decently set up, play the card and someone is taking 6 damage. Then take into account the mindgames where some are thinking, "Surely someone will take the damage, so I wont" and the times where they all think that and it board wipes. 

I love it.

Re-read the card bro, it's much better than a graveyard exiler.
