Deck overview

This deck is a high-powered 5-color Polymorph control strategy commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. By deliberately omitting small creatures and low-cost planeswalkers from the 99, the deck guarantees that every polymorph effect flips directly into a devastating, game-warping bomb. The game plan focuses on deploying early noncreature token generators—such as Bitterblossom, Hard Evidence, and Skrelv's Hive—alongside dense 2-CMC mana acceleration during the opening turns. On Turn 4, the deck casts Jace, Multiverse Architect and immediately uses his −3 ability to exile a token and cheat a catastrophic threat onto the battlefield, including Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Toxrill, the Corrosive, Void Winnower, or Hullbreaker Horror. Backed by premier 1-mana countermagic, unconditional removal, and Teferi, Time Raveler, the deck swiftly locks out opposing interaction, strips opposing resources, and closes the game across two combat cycles under overwhelming board dominance.
