Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius spellslinger combo-control build commanded by Zethi, Arcane Blademaster. It pairs efficient low-cost interaction, steady card draw engines, and asymmetric stax pieces with a compact, deterministic win condition in Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal. Early turns focus on mana acceleration via low-cost artifacts and establishing card advantage through staples like Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, and Esper Sentinel. The deck actively protects its development with an elite counterspell suite and proactive turn-silencers like Grand Abolisher, Voice of Victory, and Teferi, Time Raveler. When ready to close, it resolves Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal to generate infinite mana and untaps, using Aetherflux Reservoir or Sentinel Tower to eliminate all opponents simultaneously. If the combo is delayed, Zethi, Arcane Blademaster provides immense midgame recursion by recasting exiled cantrips and removal spells on every attack.
