Deck overview

This deck is a four-color control strategy commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The game plan accelerates mana on early turns using efficient mana rocks, deploys low-cost token generators such as Skrelv's Hive or Dreadhorde Invasion, and casts Jace on Turn 4. Jace's minus loyalty ability immediately exiles a token to cheat a high-impact bomb directly onto the battlefield from the library. The payoff suite features game-warping creatures including Archon of Cruelty, Valgavoth, Terror Eater, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, and Avacyn, Angel of Hope. These threats produce immediate resource swings, lock down opposing combat, or double damage output. Library manipulation spells like Brainstorm and Brainsurge ensure drawn payoffs return to the top of the library to be cheated. Supported by spot exile removal, sweepers, and defensive attack taxes like Propaganda, the deck controls the board while closing the game through overwhelming combat damage across multiple turns.
