Deck overview

This is a hyper-focused two-card combo deck wrapped around Sanar, Innovative First-Year and a 99 that is literally 97 basic lands. Sanar's Vivid ability reveals cards until it hits X nonland cards, where X is the number of colors among permanents you control - with Sanar (a blue-red creature) on the battlefield, X equals 2, so the ability reveals the entire deck (exactly two nonland cards: Treasure Hunt and Magmakin Artillerist), exiles both, and lets you cast them that turn. The kill: cast Magmakin Artillerist, then Treasure Hunt to draw roughly half the deck in lands, then discard down at cleanup - each discarded card makes Magmakin deal that much damage to each opponent, which is lethal. The deck has no backup plan, no interaction, and no redundancy; it is a pure meme combo that lives or dies on resolving its commander and both spells.
