Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos spellslinger-burn hybrid helmed by Kuja, Genome Sorcerer // Trance Kuja, Fate Defied. The core engine is a critical mass of "whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this deals 1 damage to each opponent" triggers - Guttersnipe, Firebrand Archer, Coruscation Mage, and a swarm of 0/1 Wizard tokens generated by cards like Circle of Power, Cornered by Black Mages, and Queen Brahne. The deck's primary path to victory is chaining cheap instants and sorceries to drain the table, then multiplying that damage through Tor Wauki the Younger, City on Fire, Collective Inferno, and the commander's transformed back face, which doubles all Wizard damage. Secondary lines include Kefka, Dancing Mad for free spell casting and Mizzix's Mastery overload for a massive burst turn. The deck is fast, low to the ground (2.85 average CMC), and heavily reliant on its commander for the damage-doubling ceiling.
