Deck overview

This deck is a four-color control deck designed around Jace, Multiverse Architect as a repeatable Polymorph engine in the command zone. The game plan relies on rapid artifact ramp and low-cost token generators such as Skrelv's Hive and Dreadhorde Invasion during the opening turns. On turn 4, Jace enters the battlefield and immediately uses his -3 loyalty ability on a disposable token to cheat a game-ending creature or planeswalker directly from the library onto the battlefield. The creature suite is filled with massive threats like Archon of Cruelty, Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, Serra's Emissary, and Archfiend of Despair. A strong defensive shell of board wipes, free protection spells, and efficient interaction keeps Jace protected while your massive threats dismantle opposing boards and close out the game through combat over successive turns.
