Deck overview

This deck is a Temur Spellslinger and Dragon midrange deck led by Iroh, Grand Lotus. It leverages Iroh's ability to grant flashback to all instants and sorceries, with Lessons costing only a single generic mana to cast from the graveyard. The early game focuses on ramping with pieces like Farseek, Sol Ring, and Doc Aurlock, Grizzled Genius while sculpting the hand using cheap cantrips and Lessons. In the mid-to-late game, the deck transitions into explosive threat generation by resolving powerhouse Dragons such as Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, Terror of the Peaks, and Niv-Mizzet, Parun. It closes out games either by executing the classic infinite damage loop of Niv-Mizzet, Parun equipped with Curiosity, or through massive airborne combat damage and direct burn triggers amplified by Dragon Tempest, Rite of the Dragoncaller, and graveyard spell recursion.
