Be Kind to Otters 🦦 by Dalquize8

Format: Commander

Commander: Alania, Divergent Storm

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Izzet spellslinger deck uses Alania, Divergent Storm to copy your first instant, sorcery, and Otter each turn when you let an opponent draw a card. You ramp early, land Alania on turn 4-5, then chain cantrips, rituals, and Treasure makers into storm payoffs. The main win builds storm count with Thousand-Year Storm, Storm-Kiln Artist, and Twinning Staff, then closes with Coruscation Mage pings or a large Crackle with Power, often recurred by Mizzix's Mastery. Gifts Ungiven creates deterministic piles that guarantee a win line. Thousand-Year Storm and Storm-Kiln Artist act as hidden commanders and win without Alania.
