Deck overview

This deck is a Temur Modal Spellslinger build commanded by Riku of Many Paths. The strategy revolves around casting versatile modal spells, including Charms, Commands, and Spree cards, to trigger Riku's ability. Each mode chosen allows Riku to create 1/1 blue flying Bird creature tokens, exile cards for impulse advantage, or grow with +1/+1 counters and trample. The deck leverages cost-reducers like Goblin Electromancer and trigger doublers like Veyran, Voice of Duality and Harmonic Prodigy to rapidly compound board presence and card velocity. After establishing a wide evasive aerial board, the deck transitions to a decisive finish using mass overrun effects such as Overwhelming Stampede, Overrun, or chained pump spells with Balmor, Battlemage Captain and Great Train Heist. Backed by over twenty modal interaction and protection spells, the list disrupts opponents while advancing its own engine, maintaining resilience through redundant card flow and flexible reactive answers.
