Deck overview

Gavi, Nest Warden anchors a Jeskai cycling-value deck. The primary plan is to cast Gavi on turn four, use the first free cycle each turn to smooth draws, and turn a second draw into a 2/2 Dinosaur Cat token while deploying cycling payoffs such as Drake Haven, Lightning Rift, and Curator of Mysteries. Secondary plans use Brallin and Shabraz as a hidden partner pair, turning Windfall and The Locust God activations into discard damage and a growing flyer, while Akim provides a double-strike finish. New Perspectives and Fluctuator enable chain-cycling turns. Gavi is an engine and token generator, not a combo piece. There are no infinite combos in the list; wins come from incremental damage and combat.
