Norin the Wary

Norin the Wary is a tiny red creature with a massive upside: it's constantly flickering in and out of existence whenever spells get cast or creatures attack. This means you're triggering enter-the-battlefield effects repeatedly throughout each turn cycle, and you've got a creature that's nearly impossible to remove permanently. The deck wants to fill the board with value engines that reward you for Norin's constant bouncing—cards that make tokens when creatures enter, deal damage, or create other forms of value.

Your winning formula involves stacking cards like Impact Tremors, Warstorm Surge, and Purphoros that turn each flicker into damage. You're also running artifact creatures and creatures with strong ETB effects to multiply the value. Since Norin costs just one red mana, you'll have plenty of room in your deck for cheap synergies, mana accelerants, and ways to ensure the table is always casting spells to keep your little warrior flickering. Win by combining repeated triggers—usually a mix of direct damage and token generation—into an overwhelming board or lethal damage.
