Deck overview

This Sultai deck is led by Xavier Sal, Infested Captain and focuses on loyalty counter acceleration through the Empower Jace mechanic. The strategy revolves around generating Jace planeswalker tokens and planeswalker cards, rapidly inflating their loyalty with cards like Jace's Machinations, Vraska's Final Mercy, and Way of the Wildspeaker, alongside proliferate and populate abilities. Its primary win condition is activating Jace, Reality Sculptor at 25 or more loyalty to exile nearly all cards from opponents' libraries. Secondary win lines utilize token drain via Mirkwood Bats and Bastion of Remembrance or alternate laboratory wins with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and Fblthp, Impossibly Lost. The deck maintains control using efficient counterspells and removal while capitalizing on massive card advantage from The Theorist, Jace Beleren.
