Deck overview

This is a UW "cantrip voltron" deck helmed by Lyse Hext. The plan is to cast Lyse, then chain cheap noncreature spells - made free by her {1} cost reduction - to trigger prowess, unlock double strike, and pump her into a lethal commander-damage threat. The deck runs roughly thirty one-mana cantrips that draw cards and grow Lyse simultaneously, a dense protection suite (hexproof, indestructible, ward), and a handful of effectively one-sided board wipes. Secondary value comes from Sram, Senior Edificer, Archmage Emeritus, and Alphinaud Leveilleur, who convert the spell-slinging into card advantage. There are no infinite combos; the win is purely combat - Lyse swinging for 21 commander damage with double strike and evasion (flying or unblockable) across two to three turns.
