Introduction to Multiversal Polymorphism (Jace, Multiverse Architect) by NoahSteinley

Deck overview
This deck is a 5-color control and Polymorph shell built around Jace, Multiverse Architect. The strategy focuses on establishing early mana fixing and producing expendable creature or planeswalker tokens through cards like Skrelv's Hive, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Empower triggers. Once Jace enters the battlefield on Turn 4 or 5, his -3 ability immediately exiles a token to reveal and cheat a massive threat from the library directly into play without casting it. The payoff suite features dominant bombs including Archfiend of Despair, Summon: Bahamut, Avacyn, Angel of Horror, Aurelia, the Warleader, and Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God. A rich suite of cheap counterspells, spot removal, and sweepers like Sunfall protects the board while these evasive threats close out the game over two to three combat cycles. The deck blends consistent mid-game value with explosive creature cheating.
