Deck overview

Led by Cynette, Jelly Drover, this mono-blue tempo-aggro deck weaponizes entering and dying triggers to flood the board with evasive Jellyfish tokens, scaling them into lethal aerial threats. The primary game plan revolves around deploying low-cost mana rocks into Cynette on Turn 4, followed by repeatable blink engines such as Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Conjurer's Closet, and Y'shtola Rhul. Trigger doublers like Panharmonicon, Naban, Dean of Iteration, and Roaming Throne rapidly multiply token production and card advantage engines like Candlekeep Sage and Curiosity Crafter. Once a wide flock of flying creatures is assembled, high-impact anthems such as Gravitational Shift, Banner of Kinship, and Shadow Puppeteers turn modest tokens into 4/4 to 6/6 aerial beaters. The deck defends its board using an efficient suite of cheap counterspells, instant-speed phase-outs like March of Swirling Mist, and utility blink spells that double as targeted protection. While vulnerable to repeated sweepers and lacking universal tutors, the deck achieves victory through relentless evasive combat.
