Deck overview

This deck is a mono-blue control and big-mana strategy built around Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis. The primary game plan focuses on deploying efficient 2-mana artifacts to cast Jin-Gitaxias on Turn 4, then transforming him on Turn 5 once a 7-card hand is secured. The Great Synthesis immediately doubles the pilot's hand size with Chapter I, providing overwhelming card advantage and stocking countermagic to protect the board. Chapter II resets opposing creatures with an asymmetric bounce, and Chapter III allows the deck to cast its entire hand for free on Turn 7. Game-ending payoffs include dropping Psychosis Crawler alongside massive draw spells like Enter the Infinite or Blue Sun's Zenith to drain the table in a single turn. Proliferate mechanics also allow players to advance the Saga chapters early or threaten an alternate poison win.
