Retired; this list will no longer be updated but because it is in a few users' folders I won't delete it yet like I usually would. Cheers.

Our aim is to have our cake and eat it too by repeatedly gaining card advantage from the innocuous Jori En, Ruin Diver . She comes down early and rewards us for doing something we will do with or without her there: play multiple spells a turn (eventually).

In this deck we want to take this a step further. We do this by focusing on spells that will allow us to cast a second spell, for free usually, like Mindclaw Shaman . A lot of our double-trouble spells interact with our opponents' hands, libraries, or graveyards which will make for diverse plays, interactions, and matches (longevity of a deck is important to me with rising costs).

We have a few outlets to generate ground and aerial tokens from casting our instants and sorceries ( Young Pyromancer ); creatures who like instants and sorceries in the yard ( Spellheart Chimera ); copy spells for instants or sorceries ( Reiterate ) and creature to reuse ETBs ( Heat Shimmer ); ramp is a standard set of mana rocks ( Izzet Signet ); our card advantage is mainly instant card filtering to find what we need when we need it and easily trigger Jori ( Telling Time ); and interaction is everything and anything that messes with our opponents’ strategies and stymies them from doing the same to us ( Chaos Warp ).

While the deck proactively durdles since we cannot control what our double-trouble spells will hit, the rest of our deck is aligned around it happening. Thus our win-conditions come from potentially stealing a win-con from an opponent; one-shotting opponents with an engorged Crackling Drake , co.; going wide via our +/+ tokens via Docent of Perfection  , co.; and even obtain infinite hasty attackers through Dualcaster Mage + Heat Shimmer / Twinflame .

Thoughts and suggestions to improve this are appreciated and welcome!
