Deck overview

This deck is a high-velocity Izzet spellslinger combo list centered on Stella Lee, Wild Card. The game plan revolves around accelerating mana early with cost reducers like Goblin Electromancer and Stormcatch Mentor, filtering through the library with dense one-mana cantrips, and deploying Stella Lee. Once Stella is active and free of summoning sickness, the deck strings together three cheap spells in a single turn. Casting an untap spell such as Twisted Fealty, Cerulean Wisps, or Refocus as the third spell allows Stella to copy it repeatedly. With Twisted Fealty, creating and replacing Wicked Role tokens deals lethal damage to the entire table instantly. With Cerulean Wisps or Refocus, the deck draws the entire library to find direct win conditions. Backed by cheap stack interaction and hexproof protection, the deck reliably attempts to win on Turn 4 or 5.
