Deck overview

Saheeli, Jewel of Avishkar commands a high-velocity Izzet artifact combo deck designed to assemble a lethal unbounded loop. The deck leverages dense cantrips, transmutation tutors, and artifact acceleration to deploy an untapper creature—Mirran Spy or Zephyr Scribe—and grant it a repeatable bounce ability using Retraction Helix or Banishing Knack. By repeatedly casting and bouncing a 0-mana artifact such as Everflowing Chalice, Tormod's Crypt, Welding Jar, Lotus Petal, or Ornithopter, the deck generates infinite spell casts and artifact enters-the-battlefield triggers. With Saheeli on the battlefield, each cast produces a 1/1 flying Thopter token with haste to immediately swarm opponents in combat. Alternatively, any of the eight redundant pingers—such as Reckless Fireweaver, Firebrand Archer, or Ingenious Artillerist—converts the loop into instant table-wide lethal damage. Robust countermagic like Dispel, An Offer You Can't Refuse, and Foil protects the combo window, ensuring a swift and resilient Turn 5 victory.
