Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Welcome to this otterly delightful Izzet spellslinger deck helmed by Alania, Divergent Storm. This deck started off as another flavor of Izzet spellslinger, but has grown to be my favorite spellslinging deck. It works on fronts with some politics, some storm, some control, some otters, and a lot of burn. With that otter the way, let's dive into some of the specifics of the cards in this fur-ocious deck. Also, don't let the massive price tag in the builder dissuade you. This deck can be built on an incredibly small budget. Many of the expensive cards have budget alternatives (ex: replace Rhystic Study with Struggle for Project Purity) and cheaper printings will drive the price down a lot.\n\nAlania: Starting off with our commander, Alania is an interesting furball of a commander. When breaking down our commander, there are a few things we should focus on. The copy ability is the star of the show. Notably, copying a spell on the stack means we avoid having to pay additional casting costs and the ability triggers for the first instance of each instant, sorcery, and otter cast during that turn. This means the deck will be focused around big splashy instants and sorceries with the creature base supporting our spellslinging dreams.\n\nCreatures: The creature base is very slim and we need to be very picky on who gets to join our romp. Storm-kiln Artist and Archmage Emeritus make the cut due to being able to trigger off copies. For the otters, those with big gamechanging effects when duplicated (ex: Daring Waverider) were included. Stormsplitter is a genuine win condition and who doesn't like a bit of exponential math. Kitsa may be the oddball out, but a 2 drop that is able to continuously loot and serve as a backup copier is too delightful to pass up.\n\nValue: Alania's ability elevates cards like Big Score from card neutral to card positive (+2) and mana negative (-2) to mana neutral. However, the downside is we must gift a card to an opponent. This issue can be mitigated with politics and smart play and cards that take advantage of opponent's with a full grip. This means we are walking a tight political line where we want to feed cards to one player in particular before going off and winning. However, we can't reliably count on Alania staying out, so we still include some basic cards like Rhystic Study (please wizards, reprint an otter themed Rhystic Study). Finally, we are a spellslinger deck. Use your graveyard as a resource, we can readily recur instants and sorceries. Be more mindful of pitching important permanents though. \n\nInteraction: Another tricky thing with Alania is that 1 for 1 interaction becomes excellent since it can be turned into 2 for 1. Into the Floodmaw is one of the best interaction pieces since it can remove 2 pesky permanents. Just remember, don't give the fish to the aristocrat deck! Given that Alania is our centerpiece, protection is paramount for this type of deck. Three Steps Ahead is included due to its modality. Normally, copying a counterspell is questionable. However, with modal spells, we not only guarantee that the target spell get countered, we gain additional value by going card positive. A few free spells are included though to make sure Alania lives through the turn she is cast which is the point where she is most vulnerable.\n\nMultiplication: A fun avenue to take Alania is to run a few sorceries that can duplicate Alania. Why copy a spell once, when you can do it 3 times! The downside is your opponents will be drawing more cards, but living life dangerously is what Izzet is all about.\n\nWinning: Our win condition is typically taking a big burn spell and duplicating it as well as extra turn spells. My favorite one is Prisoner's Dilemma. My suggestion is to ask if the game can be played without everyone talking to each other. Watch the salt from the first copy of the spell flow to the subsequent ones. Aren't otters just the cutest rascals! :)\n\nAnd that's it! I find this deck to be extremely strong once it gets going. The amount of value it can generate is otter this world and it can quickly spiral out of control. However, the early game is dangerous when we are just a wee pup. This is why politics and using control to stop accelerated games is important (countering a sol ring is very valid). \n"}]}
