Zethi, Arcane Blademaster

Gameplan

Cast Zethi with multikicker to exile instants from your graveyard, then attack to copy and cast all of them for free every combat. You spend the early game stockpiling cheap, high-value instants in the yard with cantrips and self-mill, then deploy Zethi with several kicks and start chaining copies each attack step for snowballing card advantage and damage.

Key Cards

• Expansion // Explosion — Explosion copied each attack is a free draw-X and damage payoff that can win on its own.
• Brainstorm — Cheap instant that's great to exile—free repeated card filtering every combat.
• Cyclonic Rift — A copied overloaded Rift each attack is a devastating, repeatable board reset.
• Mystic Confluence — Flexible draw/counter/bounce instant that's incredible to copy for free every turn.
• Finale of Revelation — X-spell instant whose copy refills your hand and can be game-ending late.
• Lightning Greaves — Haste and protection let Zethi attack the turn it lands and dodge removal.

Upgrade Path

Lean into high-impact instants that scale or copy well (Cyclonic Rift, Mystic Confluence, big X-spells) and trim narrow one-shot answers. Add cheap protection and evasion—Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Whispersilk Cloak, Aqueous Form—so Zethi reliably connects, plus cantrips and self-mill to load the yard fast. Top-end the mana with rocks and rituals to land a heavily-kicked Zethi early, and include extra-combat or untap effects to fire multiple attack triggers per turn.
