Mardi Gras — Throw Me Something, Mister!

Commanded by Gambit, King of the Krewe, this Izzet (blue/red) 100-Card Commander Deck takes the heroes to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. On Fat Tuesday the city has one sentence, shouted by three hundred thousand people at every float: "Throw me something, mister!" — beads, doubloons, cups, the painted Zulu coconuts. This year the krewe crowned Remy LeBeau, a Cajun card sharp born in this city whose power is to charge whatever he touches with kinetic energy and throw it, and they gave him a whole float of things to throw. The tone is warm and funny, heroes in carnival costume and villains as party-crashers. The cast includes Rogue, Storm, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Dazzler, Blade, Doctor Voodoo, Bullseye, Deadpool, Spider-Man, The Joker, Captain Boomerang, Black Canary, Plastic Man, Lando Calrissian, Himiko Toga, The Clown and Abe Sapien, alongside the flambeaux carriers, the second line, the mask maker of Royal Street and the masked riders of the Cajun Courir de Mardi Gras.

• Throw: word for word on fourteen cards — "Throw {cost} ({cost}, Discard this card: It deals 2 damage to any target.)" And Gambit gives it to everything else: "Each nonland card in your hand has throw {1}{R}. Whenever you throw a card, draw a card." With him on the battlefield, every spell in hand is either itself or a burn spell that replaces itself.
• The parade reads the throw: Rogue gets a +1/+1 counter, Storm deals 1 damage to each creature your opponents control, Jubilee deals 1 to each opponent, Blade, Plastic Man, the Second Line Trumpeter and the Bead Catcher hit harder, Black Canary taps a blocker, Dazzler stops one, Nightcrawler blinks a creature, Doctor Voodoo turns each thrown creature into a 2/2 flying Spirit, Krewe of Revelers makes a 1/1 Reveler with haste and Abe Sapien scries.
• Free throws and bigger hits: Bullseye makes throws cost {1} less, Dazzler and the Zulu Coconut Painter add mana only for throws, Lando, The Clown, Grand Krewe Float, The Krewe Den and Throw Me Something, Mister! throw for free, Captain Boomerang and Deadpool bring thrown cards back, The Joker adds 1 damage to every throw and Remy's Kinetic Charge makes a thrown card deal damage equal to its mana value.

Why Izzet

Red is the throw — the kinetic charge, the flambeaux, the brass, the fireworks, the crowd. Blue is the masked ball and the card table — the mask, the shapeshifter, the riverboat card sharp who always knows what comes next, and the steady flow of cards in hand that Gambit needs to keep throwing. Two combos close the game: Mystique, Mask of a Thousand Faces with Krewe Trickster or Float Captain of the Krewe makes unlimited hasty copies, and Gambit with The King of Carnival's Scepter imprinting Encore on the Balcony and mana rocks producing three makes unlimited mana — then Gambit throws his entire library across the table, two damage a card, more with The Joker, Remy's Kinetic Charge or Jubilee. The Golden Doubloon, Signet of the Krewe, Purple, Green and Gold Signet, Talisman of Thrown Beads, Last Call on Bourbon Street and Beads Raining Down ramp; Gambit's Gamble tutors; Charged Queen of Hearts, Charged Ace of Spades, Pushed Off the Float and Into the Mississippi remove threats; Not on My Parade Route and Krewe Captain's Veto counter; Ash Wednesday is the single sweeper; Fortune Teller of Jackson Square and Fat Tuesday at Midnight draw; Second Line Encore recasts every instant already thrown.
