Deck overview

This deck is a high-powered 5-color Polymorph control strategy commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The entire creature suite in the 99 is constructed exclusively of game-warping, high-mana bombs including Phyrexian Praetors, Elder Demons, and Krazens, with all early battlefield presence provided by non-creature token generators such as Bitterblossom, Hard Evidence, and Skrelv's Hive. On Turn 4, Jace enters and immediately uses his -3 ability to exile a token and cheat a massive threat directly from the library with zero risk of whiffing. Cheating threats like Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Toxrill, the Corrosive, or Hullbreaker Horror creates immediate asymmetric resource locks, stripping opponents of hands and boards. Backed by dense 1-to-2 CMC countermagic, flexible spot removal, and redundant cheat spells like Polymorph and Transmogrify, the deck rapidly compounds its advantage to eliminate all opponents within two response cycles.
