Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Izzet deck is a spellslinger/otter tribal strategy, pivoting on Alania, Divergent Storm as a repeatable copy engine. The primary game plan centres on chaining instants, sorceries, and Otter spells, using Alania's conditional copy to multiply value spells. The win is delivered through incremental damage from Guttersprint and Ral, Storm Conduit, or a massive Grapeshot with a storm count built over the turn. Secondary payoffs include Coruscation Mage and Geistblast/Ral, Izzet Viceroy milling the top. The deck edges on a value-oriented combat plan thanks to the otter tokens from Tolawar, Loch Rascal and the prowess buffs. The combination of copy spells like Galvanic Iteration, Doublecast, and Thousand-Year Storm lets it rapidly accumulate spells, while Stitch in Time provides a potential extra turn to seal the game.
