Deck overview

This deck is a high-power 4-color control deck commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The primary strategy creates cheap creature tokens in the early game using cards like Bitterblossom and Skrelv's Hive, then casts Jace or a 99-card polymorph spell to cheat catastrophic bombs into play on Turn 4. The payoff suite features brutal praetors, Eldrazi, and artifact behemoths including Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Void Winnower, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, and Blightsteel Colossus. Backed by format-defining fast mana, unconditional tutors, and a dense suite of free and efficient countermagic, the deck quickly establishes asymmetric lock states that deny opponents resources while winning through overwhelming combat damage across two turns.
