Strategy
Sanar, Unfinished Genius is a double-faced card that flips into Wild Idea, letting you build around artifact generation and card advantage. In creature form, Sanar creates treasures when you cast instants and sorceries, giving you mana acceleration while filtering cards. The flip side forces you to discard and draw, which synergizes beautifully with effects that reward discarding or filling your graveyard.
Your game plan revolves around playing cheap instants and sorceries to generate treasures and card velocity, then spending that mana to close out the game. You can lean into spell-slinging with cards that trigger on casting, or pivot toward artifacts and graveyard synergies. The deck rewards you for doing what Izzet already loves—casting spells and drawing cards—while giving you a side engine that builds mana.
