A lot of the other creatures have high levels of synergy with all your cheap spells, but none of them do it quite like Narset. The deck is centered almost entirely around Narset, Enlightened Exile. The ones that are here typically either some kind of protection or utility enchantment like Omen of the Sea and Sorcerer Class, or a synergistic creature that can dictate the pace of the game on its own like Archmage Emeritus or Monastery Mentor. The deck also runs relatively few permanent cards, as you might expect. This makes for a very smooth and familiar Izzet spellslinger deck that gets to use white’s utility without giving up too much of Izzet’s straightforwardness. Only 15 of the 90 mana pips are white, and they’re mostly on cheaper spells like Hyena Umbra or Swords to Plowshares. While your commander is Jeskai, this deck is mostly just an Izzet ( ) deck with a few white cards. That gives you a solid bank of spells to cast for free, but you can also cast them early to develop your board and tempo-out your opponents. Taking into consideration Narset, Enlightened Exile’s ability only hits spells with a mana value less than its power, the average mana value of this deck is quite low at 2.53 without lands.
