Mavinda, Students' Advocate
Storm off by chaining low-cost targeted cantrips and protection spells, leveraging Mavinda to recur them from the graveyard while prowess monks like Monastery Mentor generate overwhelming tokens and lethal power. Protect key engines with instant-speed flicker and hexproof tricks, closing out games with Aetherflux Reservoir or a swarm of pumped prowess creatures.
Prompt: CEDH bracket 5 cantrip spellslinger Mavinda. Add aligned heart, and prowes monks from jeskai please and ty <3
