Deck overview

Sanar, Innovative First-Year commands an all-in exhibition combo deck built around an extreme 97-basic-land construction constraint. Because the 99 contains exactly two nonland cards—Curiosity and Magmakin Artillerist—Sanar's Vivid ability serves as a 100% deterministic tutor at the start of Turn 5's first main phase. By exiling the only blue and red nonland cards in the library, Sanar allows both pieces to be deployed immediately for four mana. In the subsequent cleanup step, having eight cards in hand forces a single discard, which triggers Magmakin Artillerist to deal damage to each opponent. This triggers Curiosity three times to draw three cards, prompting another cleanup step. The resulting cleanup loop repeats across roughly fourteen cycles, burning all three opponents for 42 or more damage simultaneously to win on Turn 5 with zero opponent response cycles. The deck completely foregoes ramp, protection, interaction, and recovery, operating as a fragile but mathematically deterministic glass cannon.
