Izzet Lessons mirror (50% win rate) is a grindy match where Monument to Endurance and Firebending Lesson value generate the most card advantage over time. Annul is exceptional here, countering their Monument to Endurance and Artist's Talent enchantments at instant speed. Torpor Orb disrupts the enter-the-battlefield triggers on Gran-Gran and Agna Qel'a and shuts down key ETB-based card draw. Soul-Guide Lantern handles any Firebending Lesson graveyard recursion while Sear answers small creatures. Three Steps Ahead and Iroh's Demonstration are the most expendable flexible slots that don't pull their weight when you need leaner and more targeted interaction in the grinding mirror.
