Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color Polymorph Control strategy commanded by Jace, Multiverse Architect. The game plan revolves around deploying cheap, recurring token generators on Turns 1-3—such as Skrelv's Hive, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Staff of the Storyteller—alongside a dense package of 2-CMC mana rocks. On Turn 4, the deck casts Jace and immediately uses his -3 ability to exile a token, cheating one of 21 game-warping 6-12 CMC creatures or planeswalkers directly from the library onto the battlefield. High-impact hits like Void Winnower, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, and Archon of Cruelty rapidly dismantle opposing game plans through asymmetric resource denial and massive stats. Efficient interaction like Fierce Guardianship and Deadly Rollick protects the setup, while topdeck manipulators like Scroll Rack and Jace's +1 tuck drawn bombs back into the library. The deck systematically closes out the game through overwhelming combat damage and life loss from Archfiend of Despair across Turns 5-7.
