THE STORY

Inalla, Archmage Ritualist has assembled her closest confidants at the Westvale Abbey   to summon her master, the demon Ormendahl, Profane Prince  , from beyond death. Inalla herself is immensely powerful, especially when joined by her fellow Wizards who are capable of removing creatures from existence with a mere thought, stopping events in their tracks, or stripping the land bare of all who would oppose them.

---

THE CONCEPT

Cast wizards, do things that interact with wizards, make some tokens, maybe counter some things. Wizard stuff. At the core is Inalla, Archmage Ritualist who both creates tokens regardless of her location (Eminence is awesome!) and provides a wincon with her activated ability.

---

THE TRICKS

No self-respecting wizard is without a few tricks up their sleeve. To name a few:

• Obeka, Brute Chronologist and Sundial of the Infinite turn temporary "exile at end of turn" advantages into permanent gains.

• Curiosity Crafter, Kindred Discovery, Molten Echoes, and Reflections of Littjara + Inalla makes for great card draw/token interaction.

• Multiple "no maximum hand size" effects to keep the options available.

• Anthem-type effects galore: Naru Meha, Master Wizard, Metallic Mimic, Sage of Fables, Icon of Ancestry, and Final Iteration  .

• Bloodline Pretender is a house: if you have 2 wizards etb each turn (cuz y'know, Eminence) this guy gets big fast.

• Parnesse, the Subtle Brush takes an eye for an eye if you target me or my board.

• Redundancy for tutors: Demonic Tutor gets anything + land, Wizard, and spell-specific tutors. If the wizards need it, they can find it.

• A spellbook brimming with counterspells, permanent removal, and cantrips.

WINCONS

• Inalla, Archmage Ritualist tap

• Go wide, beat down (lol Marchesa, the Black Rose + Metallic Mimic)

• Ormendahl, Profane Prince  

• Evade with Archetype of Imagination or Vela the Night-Clad
