Deck overview

This deck leverages Riku of Many Paths to convert modal spells into a compounding engine of flying Bird tokens, +1/+1 counters, and impulse card advantage. By chaining versatile commands, charms, and D&D modal spells, the deck generates continuous board presence and resource flow. It supplements this spellslinger shell with Dungeon exploration and the Initiative, providing steady passive value and mana ramp. The endgame culminates in wide combat overruns powered by multi-mode team pumps like Titania's Command and Season of Gathering.
