Island in my veins

[Verse 1] Shuffle up the deck, got an Island in my hand, Blue mana flowing like a tide across the land. You play your biggest threat, I just sit back and grin, Hold up two blue mana—guess I’ll counter that again. You thought you had the answer, thought your spell was gonna land, But I tapped a little Island and ruined all your plans. You swing for lethal damage, but I’ve already got the key, Flash in something nasty—now the battlefield belongs to me. [Chorus] I’m a blue mage, baby, Islands in my veins, Drawing cards and countering spells, driving opponents insane. You bring the biggest creatures, I’ll send ’em to the grave, You can build your army, but I control the game. I don’t need a sword, I don’t need a flame, Just a handful of Islands and a counterspell in my hand. You can play your whole damn deck— I’ll just say, “Nope.” [Verse 2] You cast your commander, everybody looks excited, I look down at my hand like, “Man, you really shouldn’t have tried it.” Counterspell on the stack, now your masterpiece is gone, You spent ten minutes talking just to hear me say, “Move on.” I draw three more cards, then I draw another three, Information is power, and knowledge sets me free. You’re counting up your damage, but I’m counting up my mana, By the time you see the combo, I’ve already got the answer. [Chorus] I’m a blue mage, baby, Islands in my veins, Drawing cards and countering spells, driving opponents insane. You bring the biggest creatures, I’ll send ’em to the grave. You can build your army, but I control the game. I don’t need a sword, I don’t need a flame, Just a handful of Islands and a counterspell in my hand. You can play your whole damn deck— I’ll just say, “Nope.” [Bridge] End step, untap, Draw a card, make a plan. You ask, “Are you gonna play?” I say, “Depends on what you cast.” The table starts complaining, But I’m laughing in my chair. You thought the game was over— I had seven cards to spare. [Final Chorus] I’m a blue mage, baby, master of the stack, Every spell you cast is just another thing to counter back. Islands on the battlefield, victory in my sight, I’ll control the game from morning until midnight. You can bring your dragons, demons, elves, and planeswalkers too, But when you sit across the table, better bring some blue. Because when I shuffles up, There’s one thing you know is true— If I’ve got mana open, I’m probably waiting on you.
