How it plays & wins
This deck is a blue-red spells deck built around Vivi Ornitier. It packs a dense suite of free and cheap counterspells and disruption, including Force of Will, Daze, Flusterstorm, Pact of Negation, Mental Misstep, and Swan Song, alongside Mana Vault, Sol Ring, Chrome Mox, and a heavy set of Moxen and Baubles. Its card draw and tutors, such as Rhystic Study, Mystical Tutor, Merchant Scroll, and Intuition, let it dig for answers while it protects its own spells. Vivi's Wizard tokens reward every noncreature spell cast, so the deck wants to fill the stack constantly.
The win condition is not clear from the list. No combo was detected, and the deck has no obvious infinite or single-card finisher. Likely routes to victory include Wizard damage accumulated over a long game, combat from Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer or Quicksilver Elemental, and large threats such as Hullbreaker Horror, Niv-Mizzet, Visionary, and Thor, Guardian of Midgard. The exact path to winning would depend on how the game develops.
