Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color Polymorph Midrange strategy commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The primary game plan focuses on deploying cheap, recurring token generators and mana rocks during the opening turns, then casting Jace on Turn 4 to immediately activate his -3 ability. This exiles a disposable creature token and polymorphs directly into one of 21 game-warping creatures or planeswalkers, including Archon of Cruelty, It That Betrays, Archfiend of Despair, and Serra's Emissary. A suite of topdeck manipulation spells like Brainstorm, Brainsurge, and Scroll Rack allows the pilot to place high-cost cards back on top of the library from hand. The deck protects its board with spells like Grand Crescendo and Ripples of Potential while taxing opposing attacks through Jace and Norn's Annex. It closes games through crushing combat damage and devastating asymmetric sacrifice and life-loss triggers over several attack steps.
