Welcome to Wizard school. Here we will learn how to harness the flow of magic through our bodies

School Staff:

• Soul-Scar Mage turns our Burn spells used for Removal into -1/-1 counters. This can outright kill even Indestructible creatures or severely cripple them if they survive
• Stormchaser Mage is a great attacker with Prowess, Flying and Haste
• Dreadhorde Arcanist flashbacks previous spells for free
• Harmonic Prodigy makes everyone else's abilities trigger twice, which means Double Prowess
• Balmor, Battlemage Captain gives more power and valuable Trample. Nothing worse than a chump blocker stopping our multi-Prowess boosted creatures
• Adeliz, the Cinder Wind grants Mass Prowess on a reliable attacker

Spells:

• Lightning Bolt, Lava Spike and Wizard's Lightning provide cheap damage and pressure
• Opt and Preordain provide card draw and deck fixing
• Flame of Anor is a versatile spell that usually removes a threat and draws us cards. It's especially good against Artifact decks to kill 2 for 1

Sideboard:

• Slip Through Space grants safe passage to our creatures. I like using it on Dreadhorde Arcanist to prevent it from being slain in combat so it can keep flashbacking spells
• Pithing Needle is great against all things with an activated ability
• Tormod's Crypt cleans up opposing graveyards
• Searing Blaze brings removal and player burn in one card
• Snapcaster Mage can recover more used up spells

Main Combo:

Dreadhorde Arcanist + Harmonic Prodigy + other creatures

What happens here is that we play a spell, like a Bolt, and our creatures will get 2 triggers of Prowess. Then we attack and cast two spells from the graveyard for free, which will trigger another 4 instances of Prowess

I hope you enjoyed the lesson, and if you have any questions or suggestions feel free to voice them. Thank you!
