Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius Blink and Spellslinger Control strategy commanded by Kykar, Zephyr Awakener. The primary game plan revolves around generating immense card advantage and board presence by combining enter-the-battlefield creatures with cheap flicker spells and Kykar's dual triggers. Noncreature spells create 1/1 flying Spirit tokens or slow-blink value permanents, enabling recurring card draw, mana ramp, and board interaction. The deck stabilizes the mid-game through defensive taxes like Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Lavinia of the Tenth, alongside Teferi, Time Raveler and low-cost countermagic. To finish the game, the deck leverages its deep card velocity to find and cast Approach of the Second Sun, quickly digging through the required 7 cards on the following turn to recast it for the victory, or executes an infinite mana and flicker loop with Peregrine Drake, Archaeomancer, and Ghostly Flicker.
