Deck overview

This deck is a non-green Polymorph control deck built around Jace, Multiverse Architect. The primary strategy leverages cheap token producers like Skrelv's Hive, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Kher Keep alongside an efficient artifact ramp package to deploy Jace on Turn 4. Upon entering, Jace immediately activates his -3 loyalty ability to exile a disposable token and flip directly into one of the deck's colossal finishers, including Archon of Cruelty, Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant, Valgavoth, Terror Eater, and Ovika, Enigma Goliath. Supported by redundant mass-polymorph effects like Mass Polymorph, Synthetic Destiny, and Proteus Staff, the deck continuously cheats game-dominating threats onto the battlefield while maintaining board control through asymmetric sweepers like Sunfall and Hour of Reckoning. While vulnerable to well-timed spot removal on targeted tokens, Jace's passive combat tax and resilient backup polymorph engines enable the deck to steadily overpower and eliminate the table through combat by Turn 7.
