Deck overview

This deck is a four-color (non-green) Polymorph Control strategy commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. By completely omitting low-mana creature cards from the 99, every creature and planeswalker in the deck is an enormous, game-warping threat. The early game focuses on deploying efficient artifact mana and noncreature token generators such as Dreadhorde Invasion, Skrelv's Hive, and Staff of the Storyteller. On Turn 4, Jace is cast and immediately uses his −3 ability to transform a disposable token into a catastrophic bomb like Archon of Cruelty, Serra's Emissary, or Archfiend of Despair. Supported by efficient interaction, protective sweepers like Sunfall, and mass-transformation spells like Mass Polymorph and Synthetic Destiny, the deck overwhelms the table through relentless combat pressure and insurmountable card advantage.
