Whispers of the Muse + Stormsplitter + Sorcerer Class
- Infinite card draw
- Near-infinite damage
- Near-infinite creature tokens with haste
- Near-infinite blue mana that can only be spent to cast instant and/or sorcery spells
- Near-infinite red mana that can only be spent to cast instant and/or sorcery spells
Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Sorcerer Class is at least level 2.
Steps
Activate any creature you control that does not have summoning sickness by tapping it, adding {U} that can only be spent to cast an instant or sorcery spell, or to gain a Class level. Repeat step 1 until you control no untapped creatures without summoning sickness, or until you have {5}{U} available, whichever comes first. Cast Whispers of the Muse with buyback by paying {5}{U}. Each Stormsplitter you control triggers, and Sorcerer Class's third ability triggers if it is level 3. Resolve the Stormsplitter triggers, creating that many token copies of Stormsplitter. Resolve the Sorcerer Class trigger, if applicable, dealing damage to any target equal to the number of instant and/or sorcery spells you've cast this turn. Resolve Whispers of the Muse, causing you to draw a card, and return Whispers of the Muse to your hand. Repeat.

Resolve the Sorcerer Class trigger, if applicable, causing Whispers of the Muse to deal an amount of damage to each opponent equal to the number of instants and sorceries you've cast this turn. Resolve the first Jeskai Ascendancy trigger, giving creatures you control +1/+1 until end of turn and untapping them. Resolve the second Jeskai Ascendancy trigger, allowing you to loot.
