Legendary Creature — Human Performer
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand, open an Attraction.
, 
: Exile target instant or sorcery card with mana value X from your graveyard and choose an Attraction you control that doesn't have a midway counter on it. Put a midway counter on it. For as long as that Attraction is on the battlefield, whenever you visit it, copy the exiled card. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

Myra the Magnificent turns every instant and sorcery into a twice-as-good improv act — cast a spell, flip the top card, cast it free if it's another instant or sorcery, repeat as long as the chain holds. The restriction is real: you need a dense spell base to keep the cascade rolling, and Myra herself costs four mana before she does anything. Wyll, Blade of Frontiers // Sword Coast Sailor is the poster commander for this effect, but Myra earns her slot in any Izzet or Grixis spellslinger shell that can consistently reload the top.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | banned |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | banned |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | banned |
Myra the Magnificent is banned in Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker — the three restrictions that keep her off most tables. The problem in those formats is density and speed: a tuned Legacy or Vintage deck can construct a hand where Myra chains through a near-deterministic loop of cheap interaction and threats, ending games before opponents stabilize. Oathbreaker bans her for the same reason the signature spell structure naturally concentrates instant and sorcery density around the oathbreaker, making the chain trivially repeatable. Commander gives her a pass because 100-card singleton dilutes the density enough that the chain runs out of gas, opponents have four turns to interact before she snowballs, and the 40-life clock buys time to answer her.

Wyll, Blade of Frontiers // Sword Coast Sailor wants every spell to do double duty, and Myra the Magnificent delivers exactly that — each cast triggers Wyll's dice-roll payoffs while simultaneously fishing for the next free spell off the top, compounding advantage faster than either card does alone.
