Deck overview

This deck is a high-power control and polymorph list helmed by Jace, Multiverse Architect. By building a library completely devoid of creature cards and running only Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon as hits, Jace's minus-three loyalty ability functions as a guaranteed cheat engine. The deck spends the first four turns establishing its mana base with pristine fixing, creating token fodder through spells like Hard Evidence and Fire Nation Occupation, and policing the table with an expansive suite of cheap counterspells and spot removal. On turn 5, Jace enters the battlefield and immediately polymorphs a token into a game-dominating planeswalker. Bolas establishes a relentless resource-denial engine by forcing every opponent to exile cards or permanents each turn, ticking up toward a game-ending ultimate on turn 8. In backup scenarios, Forth Eorlingas! and Shorikai, Genesis Engine provide independent token swarms and card advantage to close out games through combat.
