Overview:

This Izzet discard-combo deck leverages Captain Howler's discard triggers to fuel explosive combat turns and Underworld Breach loops. The strategy combines wheel effects, free interaction, and fast mana to enable T3-4 wins through infinite combat phases or Glint-Horn Buccaneer damage.

Primer:

Core Strategy: The deck aims to generate massive card velocity through wheels/discard synergies while assembling one of three win paths:

1. Infinite Combats: Aggravated Assault + Neheb, the Eternal mana
2. Discard Burn: Glint-Horn Buccaneer + mass discard (Wheel of Misfortune)
3. Breach Loops: Underworld Breach + Lotus Petal/Mox Amber for infinite storm

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with fast mana (Mana Vault, Sol Ring)
• Prioritize T1-T2 enablers (Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora)
• Reject hands without blue sources or discard outlets

Key Tips:

• Use The One Ring before Breach turns for protection
• Fierce Guardianship protects critical combo turns
• Tolaria West finds Mox Amber for Breach mana
• Rielle, the Everwise converts discard into card advantage

Avoid Traps:

• Don't overextend wheels into Narset, Parter of Veils
• Save free counters for graveyard hate
• Prioritize assembling Breach protection over early aggression

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Graveyard reliance (folds to Rest in Peace)
• Commander-dependent combat lines
• Minimal creature removal

Moderate:

• Limited stax resistance
• Life payment strain (Ancient Tomb/Howler triggers)

Most Important Cards:

• Underworld Breach
• Glint-Horn Buccaneer
• Neheb, the Eternal
• Wheel of Misfortune
• Force of Will
• Mystical Tutor
• Mox Amber
• Rhystic Study
• Aggravated Assault
• Rielle, the Everwise

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 9/10

• Goldfish wins T3 (Breach + Petal + Tutor) to T4 (combat chains)
• 14 fast mana sources enable explosive starts

Resilience: 7/10

• 8 free/protection spells shield combos
• Vulnerable to resolved graveyard hate
• Limited recursion beyond Breach

Consistency: 8/10

• 11 tutors find key pieces
• Wheel effects refuel hands
• Redundant discard outlets

Interaction: 7/10

• 6 free counterspells
• Focused on protecting combos over policing board
• Minimal permanent removal

Rating Justification:

The deck operates at cEDH speeds (T3 wins possible) with compact combos and free interaction, but lacks the redundancy/polish of top-tier lists. While faster than 8.0 High Power decks, it's less resilient than 9.0 Tier 2 cEDH builds against stax. Positioned between optimized high power and fringe cEDH.

Power level: 8.5 - 9.0
