Deck overview

This deck is a high-velocity Izzet spellslinger storm deck commanded by Vivi Ornitier. The primary game plan revolves around enchanting Vivi with damage-triggered card draw effects such as Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, or pairing it with Tandem Lookout. Because Vivi deals 1 damage to each opponent whenever you cast a noncreature spell, each cast draws three cards from the three damage triggers. This allows the deck to draw through its entire library in a single explosive turn while pinging all opponents to zero life. Cost reducers like Stormcatch Mentor, mana engines like Birgi, God of Storytelling and Storm-Kiln Artist, and Vivi's own power-based mana ability ensure the storm turn never runs out of mana. The deck is backed by an exceptionally dense suite of 1-mana counterspells and protective tools like Hexing Squelcher and Spellskite, with Quicksilver Elemental and Hullbreaker Horror serving as compact infinite win conditions.
