Deck overview

This Azorius Spellslinger deck is commanded by Zethi, Arcane Blademaster, focusing on stocking the graveyard with low-cost instants and casting Zethi with multikicker to exile them with kick counters. When Zethi attacks, she creates copies of every imprinted instant, letting you cast them each combat to generate massive card draw, untap lands, protect your board, and bounce opposing threats. The deck converts this spell velocity into lethal board states using token engines like Monastery Mentor, Talrand, Sky Summoner, and Geralf, the Fleshwright, or through direct burn via Sentinel Tower and combat scaling with Show of Confidence. A dense suite of low-cost interaction and recurring protection spells like Teferi's Protection and Shelter insulates the strategy against disruption. It operates with high resilience and card flow, outlasting opposing decks through efficient tempo advantages and wide combat finishes.
