Docent of Perfection // Final Iteration
The transform condition is the design tell: the front face only flips once you already control three or more Wizards, which means the token it spits out on each instant or sorcery is both the payoff and the kindling. The engine is self-fueling from the moment it lands. Cast a spell, get a 1/1 blue Human Wizard, cast another, get another, and the board state climbs toward its own flip rather than waiting on a counter or a turn cycle. Nothing needs to be deployed in advance; the front side builds the very Wizards that satisfy its threshold. The back, Final Iteration, is where that count stops being a gate and becomes a multiplier: every Wizard you control gains +2/+1 and flying, and each subsequent spell keeps adding to the pile. That escalation is the whole reason the front side is threshold-gated instead of flipping on cast number one; the anthem is only lethal once there is a crowd to point it at. Talrand, Sky Summoner and Young Pyromancer both turn spells into bodies, but each hands off the finishing to something else; this design owns every stage of the loop, folding the token-maker, the anthem, and the win condition into a single permanent. The cost of that completeness is tempo: a 5/4 flier for five that wants a deck full of cheap spells to feed it before the flip ever pays out.
