Deck overview

This deck is a five-color Polymorph strategy helmed by Jace, Multiverse Architect. By completely omitting low-cost creature cards from the 99, the deck guarantees that every polymorph trigger hits an overwhelming high-end threat. The early game focuses on deploying 2-CMC mana rocks and non-creature token generators such as Skrelv's Hive, Staff of the Storyteller, and Dreadhorde Invasion. On Turn 4, Jace enters the battlefield and immediately uses his −3 loyalty ability to exile a token, cheating massive game-ending bombs like Archon of Cruelty, Archfiend of Despair, Serra's Emissary, and The Ur-Sphinx into play. Powerful backup enablers like Proteus Staff, Mass Polymorph, and Synthetic Destiny ensure high redundancy even without the commander. The deck controls the board with efficient white exile removal and sweeper spells, converting its insurmountable creature value into a decisive combat victory around Turn 7.
