Deck overview

This mono-blue control deck leverages Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis alongside a planeswalker and proliferate support suite. Early turns focus on establishing mana rocks and smoothing draws with efficient cantrips while keeping a full hand of seven cards. On Turn 4, Jin-Gitaxias enters the battlefield, protected by Ward {2}. On Turn 5, Jin-Gitaxias transforms into The Great Synthesis, triggering Chapter I to draw seven cards and unlock an unlimited hand size. The deck then controls the board with dense counterspells, creature removal, and Chapter II's asymmetric bounce. On Turn 7, Chapter III triggers, casting all spells from hand for free. This allows the deck to deploy Omniscience, Psychosis Crawler, and various Jace and Teferi planeswalkers, drawing through the library to secure victory via Psychosis Crawler life drain or Laboratory Maniac / Jace, Wielder of Mysteries.
