Deck overview

This deck is an all-in exhibition combo built around Sanar, Innovative First-Year and an extreme 97-basic-land mana base. Because the 99 contains only two nonland cards—Treasure Hunt and Seismic Assault—Sanar's Vivid trigger functions as a deterministic tutor. Deploying Sanar on Turn 4 enables its ability at the start of Turn 5's main phase. Because Sanar represents both blue and red, Vivid reveals through the library until it hits both spells, exiling Treasure Hunt as the blue card and Seismic Assault as the red card. Casting Treasure Hunt for two mana empties the library of all remaining basic lands into your hand. You then spend three red mana to cast Seismic Assault and immediately discard 60 basic lands to deal 120 damage, eliminating all three opponents in a single instant-speed burst. The deck boasts flawless selection and lethal compactness, but completely sacrifices interaction, defense, and backup redundancy.
