Deck overview

This deck is a four-color Polymorph strategy commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The primary game plan avoids low-cost utility creatures, instead relying on noncreature token generators such as Skrelv's Hive, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Lingering Souls to populate the board. On Turn 4, casting Jace allows an immediate minus-three activation to exile a token and flip directly into an eight-mana game-ending threat from the ninety-nine, such as Archon of Cruelty, Serra's Emissary, or Archfiend of Despair. Supported by efficient two-mana acceleration, cheap removal, and library-tucking tools like Brainstorm to return naturally drawn monsters back to the deck, the deck establishes an early threat and expands into a table-wide combat finish by Turn 7.
