Deck overview

This deck is a Jeskai combo-attrition strategy built around Brallin, Skyshark Rider and Shabraz, the Skyshark. It accelerates into Brallin by Turn 4 using efficient two-mana rocks, then converts card draw and discard into direct damage across the table. The primary win condition combines Brallin with Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, or Tandem Lookout. Once enchanted, discarding a card damages each opponent, drawing additional cards to chain discards or loop infinitely during the cleanup step. Redundant win conditions include Glint-Horn Buccaneer, Niv-Mizzet, Parun, and wheel chains powered by Underworld Breach and Smothering Tithe. The deck controls the board with low-cost removal such as Swords to Plowshares and defends its critical turn with Silence and Voice of Victory.
