Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy spellslinger and burn strategy built around Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph. Ghyrson turns every single point of damage dealt by your other sources into 3 total damage, weaponizing cheap 1-damage sweepers, pingers, and punish triggers into lethal threats. Redundant pingers like Kessig Flamebreather, Coruscation Mage, and Thermo-Alchemist rapidly burn the entire table whenever you cast noncreature spells. Meanwhile, cards like End the Festivities and Blazing Volley act as one-sided board wipes for a single red mana. The deck refuels using Curiosity effects on Ghyrson to draw multiple cards per spell cast. It also packs a compact two-card infinite combo in Niv-Mizzet, Parun and Curiosity to close out stalled games. Built-in Ward {2} on Ghyrson and efficient 1-mana counterspells protect your engine as you dismantle creature boards and burn out all three opponents.
