Veyran, Voice of Duality
Embrace the magic school flavor of Strixhaven and Hogwarts by slinging powerful instant and sorcery spells. Veyran doubles all magecraft and spellcasting triggers, transforming simple charms and hexes into game-ending arcane storms.

Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.
Mana curve · 62 nonland cards
The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
