Deck overview

This Jeskai deck uses Arthur, Marigold Knight to cheat high-impact creatures into combat directly from the top six cards of the library. Supported by efficient two-mana acceleration, the deck establishes an early attacker on Turns 1–3 before casting Arthur on Turn 4 or 5. Because Arthur has haste, declaring an attack immediately cheats enter-the-battlefield bombs such as Inferno Titan, Sun Titan, or Colossus of the Blood Age into play. Repeated blink engines like Teleportation Circle, Soulherder, and Ephemerate allow the deck to keep cheated permanents permanently or retrigger their powerful abilities. Meanwhile, group-slug burn permanents such as Impact Tremors, Agate Instigator, and Raphael, Tough Turtle convert every creature entrance into direct damage. While vulnerable to creature sweepers and lacking dedicated tutors, the deck maintains steady card advantage and closes games around Turn 9 through scaling combat and burn.
