Commander deck · Mizzix of the Izmagnus
Six-Star Heat
Every bigger spell raises your wanted level. At six stars the lights start flashing and your spells cost almost nothing.
The commander
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery with mana value greater than your experience counters, you get an experience counter. Instants and sorceries cost {1} less for each one.
Experience counters are your stars. They never go down, so the heat only climbs.
