Bill Potts

Bill Potts is your go-to for a spellslinger deck that rewards you for targeting her repeatedly. Since she copies instants and sorceries (or activated abilities) that target only her, you're essentially getting free value every turn—cast a pump spell on Bill, get a copy for free. The deck thrives on cheap, efficient targeting spells: burn, protection, cantrips, and anything that temporarily boosts her. You win by turning Bill into an evasive threat with equipment and pump effects, then swinging in for commander damage while your spells chip away at opponents. Alternatively, if you lean into activated abilities (like those from equipment or utility creatures), you get even more trigger opportunities.

The beauty of Bill is her once-per-turn restriction keeps her fair but still absurdly efficient. You'll pack instant-speed tricks to protect her, cheap red cantrips that double as damage, and cards like Lightning Bolt that copy themselves into extra damage. Voltron equipment like Embercleave or Prowess staples give her the evasion and damage output to close games fast. If you're playing with a Doctor partner, you unlock even more color flexibility, but mono-red Bill is perfectly viable and forces you into creative deckbuilding.
