Deck overview

This Temur spellslinger deck uses Iroh, Grand Lotus to turn the graveyard into a second hand, granting all Lesson cards a fixed flashback cost of {1} and non-Lesson spells flashback equal to their mana cost. The early game focuses on ramping with green land tutors and artifacts while filling the graveyard using efficient looting and self-mill spells. On Turn 5, Iroh, Grand Lotus enters the battlefield to provide immediate card advantage by replaying cantrips and utility Lessons. The deck closes games on Turn 6 by generating massive mana with Mana Geyser or Storm-Kiln Artist to cast a lethal Crackle with Power that eliminates all three opponents at once. Backup lines leverage Past in Flames, Mizzix's Mastery, and token generators like Shark Typhoon and Talrand, Sky Summoner if the commander is removed.
