Vivi Spellslinger by Bencognito

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Izzet noncreature-spellslinger deck helmed by Vivi Ornitier. Every instant, sorcery, and other noncreature spell grows Vivi, pings the table, and fuels Vivi's once-per-turn mana ability equal to its power. The 99 backs this with a dense suite of pingers (Guttersnipe, Firebrand Archer, Electrostatic Field, Coruscation Mage, Fiery Inscription), trigger doublers (Veyran, Voice of Duality, Harmonic Prodigy), and classic Izzet engines (Niv-Mizzet, Parun, Niv-Mizzet, Visionary, Thousand-Year Storm, Storm-Kiln Artist, Birgi, God of Storytelling). Wins come from ping damage amplified by Mechanized Warfare and Artist's Talent, from Niv-Mizzet draw-damage loops (often with Curiosity), or from a single explosive turn powered by Mana Geyser, Past in Flames, or Mizzix's Mastery into Crackle with Power / Comet Storm. The deck is proactive, low-curve, and highly interactive at instant speed.
