Deck overview

This deck is a five-color Polymorph strategy helmed by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The game plan revolves around generating inexpensive creature and planeswalker tokens in the early turns using cards like Skrelv's Hive, Lingering Souls, and Jace token enchantments. Once Jace enters the battlefield on Turn 4, its −3 loyalty ability immediately targets a token to cheat massive threats directly from the library onto the battlefield. These targets include game-ending beaters such as Archon of Cruelty, Archfiend of Despair, Serra's Emissary, and The Ur-Sphinx. Redundant cheat spells like Mass Polymorph, Synthetic Destiny, and Proteus Staff ensure high consistency even if Jace is answered. The deck controls the board through efficient white removal and sweepers like Sunfall while using top-deck manipulation like Brainstorm to tuck drawn bombs back into the library.
