Strategy
This five-color deck is built around Jace, Multiverse Architect and the cluster of 'empower Jace' cards that generate and grow planeswalker tokens, backed by a token-making shell and a top-end of powerful creatures and planeswalkers. The deck leverages Jace's +1 card advantage and its -3 to cheat creatures and planeswalkers directly onto the battlefield, while a wide board of tokens protects your Jaces and your life total. It plays as a value-oriented, grindy midrange deck that can snowball into overwhelming board states.
Early: Prioritize ramp and fixing. Arcane Signet, Commander's Sphere, Thought Vessel, Relic of Legends, and Command Tower smooth out your five colors, while Solemn Simulacrum, Burnished Hart, Wayfarer's Bauble, and Sword of the Animist fetch basics to fix mana and fuel Omnath, Locus of the Void. Dark Ritual accelerates into early threats. Deploy cheap card advantage like Brainstorm, Jace's Triumph, and Black Market Connections, and keep removal such as Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, and Counterspell available to survive. Early empower cards like Sanctum Lurker and Way of the Cryomancer begin building your Jace tokens.
Mid: Resolve Jace, Multiverse Architect or build Jace tokens with Way of the Cryomancer, Way of the Healer, Theorist's Proxy, Repurposed Enforcer, and Sanctum Lurker, noting Sanctum Lurker keeps your planeswalkers alive at 0 loyalty and grants them a damage ability. Use Jace's -3 (or Synthetic Destiny, Proteus Staff, and Dack Fayden, Helping Hand) to exile and reanimate into your big creatures. Flood the board with tokens via Secure the Wastes, Grand Crescendo, Martial Coup, Dreadhorde Invasion, Skrelv's Hive, Staff of the Storyteller, and Occult Epiphany, which both feeds Repurposed Enforcer's empower and protects your Jaces. Deepglow Skate can double loyalty and other counters for explosive swings.
Late: Deploy haymakers directly or via reanimation effects: Archon of Cruelty, Ashen Rider, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Serra's Emissary, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and Archfiend of Despair. Astral Dragon can copy noncreature permanents like your signets or enchantments into 3/3 flyers. Elspeth, Sun's Champion sweeps with its -3 and builds an army, while Aurelia, the Warleader grants extra combats. Jhoira, Weatherlight Corsair and Archon of Cruelty generate relentless value each attack.
Win conditions: Win by overwhelming the board with tokens buffed and pushed through by Elspeth, Sun's Champion's emblem and Aurelia, the Warleader's extra combat step. Alternatively, grind opponents out with Archfiend of Despair doubling their life loss, Archon of Cruelty's repeated attack triggers, and Sheoldred, Whispering One's symmetrical upkeep drain. Serra's Emissary and Avacyn, Angel of Hope can make your attackers nearly impossible to answer.
- Way of the Cryomancer - Enters to empower Jace 5, instantly creating or growing a large Jace token
- Deepglow Skate - Doubles loyalty counters on your Jaces and other counters for huge tempo
- Repurposed Enforcer - Empowers Jace on attack equal to your creature count, rewarding a wide board
- Archon of Cruelty - Reanimation target and recurring attacker draining opponents and giving you value
- Elspeth, Sun's Champion - Token engine, board wipe for big creatures, and game-ending emblem
- Solemn Simulacrum - Ramp and fixing that replaces itself on death
- Sanctum Lurker - Keeps your planeswalkers alive at 0 loyalty and grants them a damage ability
- Aurelia, the Warleader - Grants extra combat and untaps your board for lethal token swings
