Overview:
A spellslinger deck focused on casting multiple instants and sorceries each turn to trigger Stella Lee, Wild Card's abilities, generating card advantage and spell copies while creating creature tokens through various payoffs.
Primer:
The deck aims to chain together cheap cantrips and card draw spells to trigger Stella's exile ability and eventually reach the three-spell threshold for copying spells. Early game focuses on establishing card advantage and board presence through token generators like Young Pyromancer and Murmuring Mystic. Mid-game leverages cost reducers like Goblin Electromancer to cast multiple spells per turn. Late game can generate massive value through enchantments like Arcane Bombardment or creatures like Niv-Mizzet, Parun. The deck can win through token swarms, commander damage, or spell-based damage from effects like Guttersnipe.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on having access to its commander and maintaining a steady stream of spells, making it vulnerable to targeted removal and counterspells. The mana base could be more refined, and the deck may struggle against aggressive strategies or heavy stax effects that tax spell casting. Card draw is somewhat inconsistent in the early game.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 4/10
- Consistency: 5/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with the ability to generate significant value through spell casting but lacking the explosive speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. While it includes some powerful interaction and value engines, it typically needs several turns to establish its gameplan and doesn't consistently threaten wins before turn 8-9. The deck would struggle against optimized decks (6.5+) due to their faster pace and more efficient interaction, but can hold its own against other casual decks through its ability to generate incremental advantage.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
