Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Use low mana cantrips to trigger Neera into potentially casting a big finisher spell. The initial cast counts as its own casting as well as the spell you topdeck from Neera, counting as two cast triggers with one spell.\n\nYou may also copy the initial cast while also triggering Neera, so you can have the effect of the spell go off while slotting it back into your library and getting an additional spell effect from your topdeck. \n\nIf you don't cast the spell that Neera reveals, it stays on the top of your library. This way you don't waste X-costed spells that you may topdeck, though your opponents will know that it is there. Use card draw to draw that card the same turn.\n\nDeck wins with big finisher cards like Clone Legion, Magma Opus, etc., while also copying those effects. Neera helps us to cheat these spells out, or to help us get to the X-costed finishers faster. Use spells like Brainstorm, Preordain, and Ponder to put the desired card on the top of the deck for Neera to cheat out.\n\nThe deck can operate well without Neera being on the field. She can easily be changed out for a different Izzet Spellslinger Commander if desired.\n"}]}
