Overview:

This Jeskai deck leverages Pramikon, Sky Rampart as a defensive tool to manipulate combat dynamics while executing a flicker/blink strategy to generate value and assemble a game-winning Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo. The deck focuses on recurring ETB effects from creatures like Skyclave Apparition and Mulldrifter, while using tutors and flicker engines (e.g., Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Yorion, Sky Nomad) to find and protect its combo pieces. Secondary win conditions include incremental value from stolen permanents (Agent of Treachery) and combat damage with evasive creatures.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Game Setup (Turns 1-4):
   • Deploy mana rocks (Sol Ring, signets) and defensive creatures like Wall of Omens.
   • Cast Pramikon to enforce attack direction, reducing incoming threats.
   • Use tutors (Imperial Recruiter, Recruiter of the Guard) to fetch combo pieces or value engines.

2. Midgame Value (Turns 4-6):

   • Blink key creatures (Deputy of Detention, Cloudblazer) for removal, card draw, or ramp.
   • Establish flicker engines like Teleportation Circle or Soulherder to recur ETB effects.
   • Protect combo pieces with Guardian of Faith or Whitemane Lion bounce effects.

3. Win Condition Execution:

   • Infinite Combo: Pair Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker with Deceiver Exarch, Pestermite, or Felidar Guardian (with Restoration Angel) to create infinite hasted tokens.
   • Alternate Lines: Steal permanents with Agent of Treachery or Zealous Conscripts, or grind opponents out with repeated ETB value.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Prioritize hands with early ramp (signets, Sol Ring) and at least one combo piece or tutor.
• Keep interaction (Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares) if facing aggressive metas.
• Avoid hands lacking mana fixing or with only high-CMC spells.

Key Tips:

• Use Splinter Twin on Deceiver Exarch as a backup combo.
• Teferi, Time Raveler ensures sorcery-speed protection for combo turns.
• Blink Sun Titan to recur low-CMC permanents like signets or Spellseeker.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Fragile Combo: Kiki-Jiki/Splinter Twin lines are easily disrupted by instant-speed removal.
• Artifact/Enchantment Reliance: Splinter Twin, Rhystic Study, and mana rocks are vulnerable to mass artifact/enchantment removal.

Moderate

• Limited Countermagic: Minimal stack interaction makes the deck susceptible to opposing combos.
• Graveyard Dependency: Recursion via Sun Titan and Reveillark is hindered by graveyard hate.

Minor

• Slow Mana Base: Multiple tapped lands (e.g., temples, tri-lands) delay early setup.
• Board Wipe Recovery: Relies on flickering to dodge wipes but lacks mass recursion.

Most Important Cards:

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker (Primary combo enabler)
• Splinter Twin (Alternate combo piece)
• Deceiver Exarch (Key combo target)
• Recruiter of the Guard (Tutor for combo pieces)
• Thassa, Deep-Dwelling (Flicker engine)
• Teferi, Time Raveler (Combo protection)
• Cyclonic Rift (Board reset)
• Rhystic Study (Card advantage)
• Imperial Recruiter (Tutor for combo/value)
• Yorion, Sky Nomad (Mass flicker for value)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10

• Can threaten a T5-6 combo win with optimal ramp and tutors but lacks fast mana for earlier kills.

Resilience: 5/10

• Flicker effects and protection spells provide some durability, but the core combo remains vulnerable to targeted disruption.

Consistency: 7/10

• Multiple tutors and card draw engines reliably assemble combo pieces or value chains.

Interaction: 5/10

• Efficient spot removal and board wipes but minimal counterspells to protect against non-creature threats.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates as a focused combo-control build with a T5-6 win potential, leveraging tutors and flicker synergies. While resilient to creature-based strategies, its reliance on fragile combos and limited stack interaction caps its power below optimized tiers.

Power level: 6.0 - 6.5
