Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius spellslinger strategy led by Zethi, Arcane Blademaster. The primary game plan fills the graveyard with cheap 1 to 2 mana cantrips, protective spells, and removal during the opening turns. On turn 4 or 5, Zethi enters with multikicker to exile those instants with kick counters. Each time Zethi attacks, she creates castable copies of every kicked card. This engine generates immense card advantage, triggers magecraft abilities, and fuels token producers such as Monastery Mentor, Talrand, Sky Summoner, and Docent of Perfection. Evasive spells like Shadow Rift ensure safe attacks, while recurred protection like Boon of Safety shields the board from disruption. Opponents face an escalating stream of unblockable commander damage, token swarms, and repeatable spot removal that typically closes the game by turn 8.
