Description
This Izzet draw and spellcasting deck turns expendable tokens into valuable opposing permanents through Role Reversal, Shifting Grift, and a suite of direct theft effects. The Locust God, token makers, and draw engines supply bodies and cards, while cheap cantrips, countermagic, and removal keep the spell engine running. It usually wins by attacking with a growing aerial token army and commandeered threats, with Niv Mizzet's draw triggers providing an additional damage engine.
