What an Eris, Roar of the Storm deck needs

Plays as spellslinger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.

• self-mill, discard and recursion (the graveyard is a resource its text reads)
• token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
• two cheap spells in one turn — cantrips, rituals, free spells and cost reducers (its trigger fires on your second spell each turn, never on a lone spell)

• 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
• 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
• 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
• 9× Find the exact card the plan needs
• 2× Answer a spell or ability before it resolves
• 1× Answer a whole board at once
• 7× Refill your hand
