Strategy
Saheeli, Jewel of Avishkar is a flying token factory that rewards casting noncreature spells. Every instant and sorcery you cast generates a Thopter, and those fliers come out with haste, so you're immediately threatening damage while building a growing aerial army. The deck leans into a tempo-control shell where you're generating value and pressure simultaneously—cast cantrips and interaction to trigger Thopters, hold up mana for defensive spells, and attack in the air while keeping opponents off-balance.
Your primary win is combat damage from a swarm of Thopters backed up by spell-slinging. Include cheap cantrips, card draw, and efficient interaction (Counterspell, Snapcaster Mage effects, Mystical Tutor) to maximize triggers while controlling the table. The deck naturally sits at midrange: you're not going full control or storming off, but you're deploying threats and answers at instant speed, forcing opponents to respect your fliers and your mana. Budget builds can lean harder on common cantrips and cost-efficient removal rather than blue staples.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive tutors and planeswalkers; substitute Mystical Tutor and Snapcaster Mage with budget cantrips like Opt, Thought Scour, Portent, and tempo removal like Counterspell alternatives (Foil, Delay).
