Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Jeskai midrange strategy helmed by Arthur, Marigold Knight. The game plan accelerates mana on early turns, establishes a low-cost creature, and casts Arthur on Turn 4. Because Arthur has haste, he attacks immediately alongside the existing creature, digging six cards deep to cheat large enter-the-battlefield threats into combat tapped and attacking. By leveraging instant-speed blink spells like Ephemerate and continuous flicker engines such as Soulherder or Brago, King Eternal, the deck resets cheated creatures so they remain on the battlefield instead of bouncing to hand. The deck applies compounding board pressure and asymmetric removal with cards like Riptide Gearhulk and Agent of Treachery, eventually closing the game on Turn 7 through decisive combat finishers like Moonshaker Cavalry or Aragorn, King of Gondor.
