Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius spellslinger control strategy that uses Zethi, Arcane Blademaster to create a repeatable engine of instant spells. In the early turns, it filters cards and controls the board with cheap interaction, seeding key instants into the graveyard. Once Zethi enters with multikicker, she imprints these spells under kick counters and casts free copies of them whenever she attacks. This rapid casting fuels card-draw engines like Vega, the Watcher and Archmage Emeritus, locks opponents down with recurring Silence effects, and generates massive storm counts. The deck finishes games by generating lethal life-drain with Aetherflux Reservoir, chaining infinite untaps with Dramatic Reversal and Lithoform Engine, or closing with an uncounterable Hullbreaker Horror loop.
