Jori En, Ruin Diver

Gameplan

Jori En rewards you for casting two or more spells each turn, turning a low-curve Izzet spellslinger deck into a card-advantage engine. Deploy cheap cantrips, ramp rocks, and interaction early, chaining two spells a turn to refill your hand, then snowball into a big spell, storm finish, or burn alpha strike.

Key Cards

• Ral, Storm Conduit — Doubles as a trigger payoff and a win condition, pinging opponents whenever you cast and copy spells.
• Aria of Flame — Stacks verse counters fast in a deck casting two-plus spells per turn for a burn finish.
• Young Pyromancer — Turns your cheap spell chains into a growing army of Elemental tokens.
• Mystic Remora — Cheap repeatable card draw that pairs with Jori En's engine to bury opponents in cards.
• Thousand-Year Storm — Each Jori trigger means you've already cast a second spell, snowballing copies for explosive turns.
• Brain Freeze — A storm payoff that mills opponents out after a long chain of cheap spells.

Upgrade Path

Lower the curve with more one-mana cantrips (Opt, Consider, Ponder, Brainstorm) and add cost reducers like Goblin Electromancer and Baral to guarantee two casts per turn. Add fast mana (Sol Ring, mana rocks, Mana Geyser) and tighten toward a storm or twin combo (Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter) for explosive kills. Improve interaction with efficient counterspells and Dovin's Veto-style protection to defend your engine.
