Melek, Izzet Paragon, Legendary creature — weird wizard, designed by Johann Bodin first released in May, 2020 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 1 combos.
Melek, Izzet Paragon would be a great addition to a Spellslinger deck that focuses on casting instant and sorcery spells frequently. This card's ability to copy spells from the top of your library can lead to powerful and explosive turns, especially when combined with cards that manipulate the top of your library like Sensei's Divining Top or Brainstorm. However, if you're looking for a more competitive option, cards like Narset, Parter of Veils or Jace, Vryn's Prodigy might provide more consistent value and impact in a variety of decks. Overall, Melek can be a fun and flavorful inclusion in a casual Spellslinger deck, but may not be the most optimal choice for more competitive play.

If the spell being copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Debt to the Deathless has), the copy has the same value of X.

Melek doesn’t affect the timing rules associated with when you can cast the card. If it’s a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty.

Melek’s last ability will copy any instant or sorcery spell you cast from your library, not just one with targets.

The copy will have the same targets as the spell it’s copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can’t choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).

The top card of your library isn’t in your hand, so you can’t suspend it, cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities.

When playing with the top card of your library revealed, if an effect tells you to draw several cards, reveal each one before you draw it.
