Deck overview

This deck is a four-color Polymorph strategy helmed by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The game plan revolves around generating expendable tokens in the early turns through persistent enchantments like Dreadhorde Invasion and Skrelv's Hive, accelerating into Jace by Turn 4, and utilizing his −3 loyalty ability to transform small tokens into game-warping creatures such as Archon of Cruelty, Serra's Emissary, and Archfiend of Despair. The 99 includes a heavy suite of 18 high-impact bombs alongside library-sculpting spells like Brainstorm and Brainsurge that tuck drawn creatures back into the library. Board control is maintained through token-generating sweepers like Sunfall and White Sun's Twilight, allowing the deck to clear opposing boards while refueling its own polymorph engine. Once multiple threats hit the battlefield, combat damage backed by life-doubling and evasive beaters rapidly eliminates the table.
