Out of Spells but not Out of Spells by Sifferton

Format: Commander

Commander: Massimo, the Magician

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a tempo-oriented spellslinger deck helmed by Massimo, the Magician, built around a dense core of cheap instants and sorceries. The primary plan is to deploy low-cost creatures that generate value from noncreature spells-Young Pyromancer, Monastery Mentor, Kykar, Wind's Fury-then use Massimo's enters trigger to exile a one-mana spell from the graveyard and give that creature a combat-damage copy effect. Each successful hit recasts the exiled spell for free, chaining extra damage, card draw, or removal. The deck accelerates into extra combat steps via Aurelia, the Warleader, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, and Great Train Heist, turning a single strong attacker into a game-ending multiple-combat turn. The win condition is combat damage, amplified by double-strike enablers (Illuminator Virtuoso, Lizard Blades, Embercleave) and damage doublers like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight. The deck is aggressive, interaction-light on the stack, and relies on overwhelming the board with evasive, hasted threats.
