Deck overview

This Azorius spellslinger list commands Zethi, Arcane Blademaster to turn cheap instant cantrips, protection, and spot removal into a recurring engine. The early game focuses on sculpting the graveyard through efficient self-mill and cantrips like Consider, Thought Scour, and Otherworldly Gaze while deploying cost reducers such as Baral, Chief of Compliance and Thunderclap Drake. Once cast with multikicker, Zethi exiles key instants and casts copies of them on every attack without paying mana costs, triggering powerful draw engines like Archmage Emeritus and token creators like Monastery Mentor. The deck shifts into a decisive win condition by chaining high storm counts into Aetherflux Reservoir or Sentinel Tower, or by resolving the infinite mana and flicker loop of Ghostly Flicker with Naru Meha, Master Wizard to mill opponents with Brain Freeze. With low-cost protective spells repeatedly cast on attack, the deck maintains tempo before closing in a single turn.
