Deck overview

This deck is a four-color Polymorph strategy helmed by Jace, Multiverse Architect, who acts as a repeatable cheat engine in the command zone. The deck operates by generating expendable creature tokens in the early turns through cards like Skrelv's Hive, Staff of the Storyteller, and Lingering Souls, then casting Jace on Turn 4 to immediately activate his -3 ability. This flips library cards until revealing one of 22 massive, game-dominating creatures such as Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant, Archon of Cruelty, Blightsteel Colossus, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, or Hullbreaker Horror. Top-deck manipulation via Brainstorm and Brainsurge tucks drawn bombs back into the library, while free protection spells like Deflecting Swat, Flawless Maneuver, and Force of Will defend the engine. The deck also packs a compact infinite combat win with Astral Dragon and Cursed Mirror.
