Deck overview

This deck is an Izzet Spellslinger and cheat engine commander deck built around Neera, Wild Mage. The primary game plan accelerates mana on turns one through four using artifact ramp and cantrips to smooth land drops. On turn five, the deck deploys Neera and immediately casts a low-cost spell like Ornithopter, Opt, or Brainstorm. Neera tucks the cheap spell to reveal cards until hitting a nonland card, casting massive top-end threats such as Omniscience, Emrakul, the World Anew, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, or Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant without paying their mana costs. These cheated permanents overwhelm opponents through annihilator combat damage, spell denial, and storm velocity over two subsequent turn cycles to close the game on turn seven. Backup lines include the infinite damage combo of Casey Jones, Back Alley Brute and The Red Terror alongside spell-copy burn with Ral, Storm Conduit and Fury Storm.
