Deck overview

This is a Temur spellslinger deck helmed by Iroh, Grand Lotus, whose Firebending ability grants every instant and sorcery in the graveyard flashback during your turn - and gives Lesson cards a bargain flashback of just {1}. The deck is built to chain spells through a dense suite of cost reducers (Baral, Chief of Compliance, Stormcatch Mentor, Goblin Anarchomancer, Ral, Monsoon Mage, Longshot, Rebel Bowman, Gran-Gran), rituals (Seething Song, Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Manamorphose), and draw engines (Archmage Emeritus, Chakra Meditation, Niv-Mizzet, Parun). It wins primarily through compact two-card combos - Niv-Mizzet, Parun with Curiosity/Keen Sense, and Dualcaster Mage with Twinflame/Electroduplicate - backed by storm finishes like Grapeshot and pingers such as Guttersnipe and Electro, Assaulting Battery. Iroh is a value engine that doubles spell count via flashback, but every win line lives in the 99.
