KICK BACK by jmajewicz23

Format: Commander

Commander: Zethi, Arcane Blademaster

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Zethi, Arcane Blademaster leads a spellslinger control deck that generates value by kicking her to exile instants from the graveyard, then copying them on attack. The deck is packed with cantrips, counters, and removal to control the board while building a token army from Monastery Mentor, Talrand, Sky Summoner, and Stormchaser's Talent. The primary win condition is the Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal infinite mana combo, which feeds Aetherflux Reservoir for table elimination. Secondary paths include overwhelming combat with Akroma's Will or extra turns from Walk the Aeons. The deck has a low curve, dense interaction, and a resilient combo core that does not rely on the commander.
