Nico Minoru, Runaway

Nico Minoru, Runaway is a red spellslinger focused on casting spells from anywhere *but* your hand—primarily from the top of your library via her repeatable looting ability. Every spell cast this way pings all opponents for 2 damage, rewarding you for playing cards in unconventional ways. Her activated ability lets you dig for nonland cards and cast them for free, effectively turning your library into a second hand while building toward a damage-focused win.

The deck leans into strategies that naturally exile or cast from unusual zones: suspend effects, flashback spells, escape mechanics, and wheel effects that refill your hand and library. Artifact synergies (especially from MSH like Cosmic Cube and Doom's Time Platform) layer additional value by generating mana or drawing cards when you cast exiled spells. The cumulative damage from her ping effect turns incremental card advantage into a clock, and her high toughness makes her surprisingly resilient.

You'll win through combat damage enhanced by cards like Mjölnir or Vibranium Strike Gauntlets, or through sheer accumulated ping damage as you churn through your deck. The deck naturally generates card advantage while pressuring opponents, making it a rewarding mid-range engine.
