This means a card like "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Turn // Burn"},{"insert":" is considered to be a red and blue 5 MV spell. When casting the spell however, the spell on the stack is considered to only have the characteristics of the side you chose to cast (unless you chose to \"fuse\" the spell, then it's both.) Because of this, our deck only has one spell in it with mana value 4 or lower, Reality Scramble. By using Codie's ability to add 5 mana and search for a lower mana value spell after our first cast, we can cast a 5-mana spell and guarantee a hit on our Reality Scramble. Then we cast the Reality Scramble, targeting our Codie or some other token creature, to reveal cards until we hit our Jadzi and put it onto the battlefield for free.\nOnce we untap with Jadzi, all we need to do is cast a cheap half of one of our split cards, and we can start the chain off. If we have a land on top, we ramp into it for free. If we have a split spell, we can pay 1 generic mana to cast either side we want (NOTE the Fuse ability only works when casting the spell from hand, meaning you have to choose one or the other.) Jadzi gets out of hand very quickly by ramping us and building up our board. If our opponents try to remove Jadzi, we can just bounce her with her own ability and try again later. If our opponents counter the Reality Scramble, we can just cast it again with retrace next turn by discarding a land.\n\nThis combo line is very consistent thanks to Codie mana fixing and tutoring our combo pieces. We can fit a companion in the deck thanks to all of our permanents having an activated ability.
