How this commander wants to play

Iceman and Firestar is a versatile spell-slinger who rewards you for playing interactive magic. Blue spells tap down your opponents' threats while red spells let you cycle through your deck, keeping your hand full and your options open. The deck wants to cast a steady stream of instants and sorceries to generate value—locking down key creatures while drawing cards and assembling threats. You're not trying to win fast; instead, you're controlling the game while incrementally building toward a finish via evasive flyers, equipment, or critical mass of card advantage.
