Deck overview

This 4-color control deck uses Jace, Multiverse Architect as a reliable polymorph engine from the command zone. By omitting all cheap creature cards from the 99 and relying strictly on noncreature token generators such as Bitterblossom, Black Market Connections, and Lingering Souls, every polymorph activation guarantees a massive game-ending threat. Supported by 12 low-cost mana rocks, the deck consistently deploys Jace on Turn 4 to cheat out titanic creatures like Archon of Cruelty, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Tidespout Tyrant, and Serra's Emissary. The deck controls opposing boards through efficient exile removal and sweepers like Toxic Deluge and Cyclonic Rift, before closing the game around Turn 6 with evasive combat damage multiplied by Archfiend of Despair. Secondary cheat spells like Mass Polymorph and Proteus Staff ensure high resilience even without the commander.
