Deck overview

This deck leverages Jace, Multiverse Architect as a 5-color Polymorph engine from the command zone. The game plan focuses on deploying inexpensive token producers such as Skrelv's Hive, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Lingering Souls in the early turns alongside efficient mana rocks. On Turn 4, Jace is cast and immediately activates his −3 loyalty ability to exile a disposable token, cheating an enormous bomb directly into play from the library. The payoff suite is packed with devastating Eldrazi, Praetors, Demons, and Angels, including Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Archon of Cruelty, Valgavoth, Terror Eater, and Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. Protective spells like Teferi's Protection, Flawless Maneuver, Grand Abolisher, and Teferi, Time Raveler shield the board while sequential attacks and damage multipliers like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and Aurelia, the Warleader close out the table.
