A Balanced Boost After the Ban Wave
Astrologian’s Planisphere is quickly becoming the go-to replacement for the recently banned Cori-Steel Cutter in Standard’s Izzet Prowess deck. While not an exact match, the Planisphere brings plenty of value to the table.
Each time you cast a noncreature spell or draw your third card in a turn, you’ll create a 1/1 Hero token and place a +1/+1 counter on the equipped creature. This makes it a powerful pseudo-Prowess effect that keeps the pressure up without pushing the deck over the top.
Astrologian’s Planisphere helps preserve the aggressive tempo and synergy of Izzet Prowess while slightly dialing back its explosive potential eeping the archetype competitive and fun without dominating the meta.
