Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
At the beginning of combat on your turn, create X tokens that are copies of another target creature you control, where X is one plus the number of instant and sorcery spells you've cast this turn. They gain haste. Exile them at the beginning of the next end step.
“Cast spells, multiply your creatures, swing for the win.”
Rionya, Fire Dancer turns your instant and sorcery spells into an army of hasty tokens. Every combat phase, you'll create copies of your best creature—the more spells you cast that turn, the more copies you make. This is a tempo powerhouse: you're filling the board with threats while also fueling your spellcasting plan, creating explosive turns where you cast a few cheap instants or sorceries and suddenly swing with multiple creatures.
The deck wants to be lean and efficient, stacked with cantrips, card draw, and damage-dealing spells that also advance your game plan. Since the tokens disappear at end of step, you're not building a traditional token swarm—instead, you're using them as a way to multiply the impact of cards you're already playing. Think of it as a tempo deck with reach: you can deal 20+ damage in a single turn by copying a decent creature and attacking with the squad. The best targets are creatures with haste, evasion, or damage triggers that scale with combat.

Skip expensive creatures—use budget cards like Young Pyromancer, Impact Tremors, or Goblin tokens as your copy targets. Replace pricey staples like Snapcaster Mage with Ledger Shredder or cheaper cantrips.
