Deck overview

This deck is a specialized 5-color Superfriends list helmed by Tam, the Possibility, focusing on the 'Empower Jace' mechanic and proliferate synergies. The main game plan revolves around generating Jace planeswalker tokens and accumulating loyalty counters rapidly via Empower cards, proliferate triggers, and loyalty doublers like Deepglow Skate. The primary win condition is casting Jace, Reality Sculptor, reaching 25 cumulative loyalty counters among Jaces, and using its 0-loyalty ultimate to exile all but the bottom card of every opponent's library. Opponents are given a single response cycle to win or find an answer before decking out. Defensive pieces like Archon of Absolution, Baird, Steward of Argive, and Tomik, Orzhov Lawmage protect planeswalkers from combat damage, while enchantments such as Deification and Privileged Position offer vital shielding.
