Commander: Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-blue deck is built around Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur as a card-advantage finisher rather than a required combo piece; the hidden commander is the saga Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis, which can turn a huge hand into a free spell chain. The primary plan is artifact ramp into an infinite-mana engine (Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal) or a Leveler + Thassa's Oracle empty-library win. Secondary grind routes use draw triggers on Psychosis Crawler, Scrawling Crawler, and Ominous Seas. The commander is an end-step draw seven that also empties opponents' hands. The deck packs 21 interaction pieces and nine counterspells to protect its critical turn.
