Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Built around Iroh, Grand Lotus's flashback effect, this Temur storm deck turns the graveyard into a second hand. It stocks instants, sorceries, and Lessons in the yard, then replays them through Iroh for long chains. Mana-positive engines-Birgi, Storm-Kiln Artist, Ashling, Flame Dancer, and Vivi Ornitier-keep the chain alive, while Artist's Talent and Harmonic Prodigy multiply damage. The primary win is a stormed Grapeshot, supplemented by burn from Vivi, Shadow of the Goblin, and Ashling. The deck also uses Lesson flashback to build storm cheaply. It is fast and redundant but commander-centric, with no hidden commander, and it is vulnerable to graveyard exile and to disruption of the 5-mana commander.
