This deck used to be a jeskai combo control list with Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus as the commander. That old decklist, though it is no longer being updated, can be found here: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/13-02-19-jeskai-combo-control/?cb=1550085240

I have always wanted to build a deck with Narset, Enlightened Master at the helm, but was discouraged by her reputation of swinging once and then winning the game using extra turns and extra combat spells. To get around this, I have built the deck around a superfriends theme, and limited myself to a single extra turn spell ( Nexus of Fate ) and a single extra combat spell ( Seize the Day ).

This deck relies on flipping cards from Narset, Enlightened Master 's triggered ability and out-valuing our opponents with free spells. Cards like Aminatou's Augury while powerful, are generally too expensive to be viable. If we flip it off of Narset, Enlightened Master 's ability however and cast it for free, it suddenly became extremely potent. So we run some fun, large mana, payoff cards such as Aminatou's Augury , Mind's Dilation , Enter the Infinite , and Beacon of Tomorrows to hopefully aim to flip over and cast for free. In order to help facilitate hitting these cards, we have some helpers in the form of Brainstorm which lets us put them from our hand onto the top of the library, Ponder which helps us shuffle away lands on top of the library, and many scry based cards like Temple of Enlightenment , Temple of Epiphany , Temple of Triumph , Oath of Jace , and Aqueous Form to filter the top of our library.

The next important step is to ensure that Narset, Enlightened Master can reliably swing in and get the triggered ability without dying, since she already costs 6 mana the first time. We do this by mostly making her unblockable with cards such as Aqueous Form , Steel of the Godhead , Rogue's Passage , and Thassa, God of the Sea . Another way to make sure she sticks around is to simply make her indestructible with Darksteel Plate . We also have a plethora of planeswalker abilities that make her beefier and harder to kill like Elspeth, Sun's Champion 's ultimate, either of Ajani Steadfast 's first two abilities, etc.

One of the ways this deck can really explode and race past your opponents is by getting more than one Narset, Enlightened Master triggers a round. As mentioned earlier, Beacon of Tomorrows , World at War , Seize the Day , Karn's Temporal Sundering , and Strionic Resonator all help us do this. We also run only 3 creatures to help ensure better flips off of her triggered ability.

Finally, this deck has a couple ways to combo out and secure the win upfront. These are listed below.

  1. If at any point you have Saheeli Rai and Felidar Guardian out on the battlefield at the same time, you should win the game. You use Saheeli Rai 's first ability to clone Felidar Guardian , who enters the battlefield and flickers Saheeli Rai . The flickered planeswalker now counts as a new planeswalker, and can use the first ability again. This loop gives you infinite hasted Felidar Guardian s who you can use to smash face and kill your opponents.

  2. If you flip Enter the Infinite , you should be able to lock out the game. When you cast it, leave a land on top. Then, cast Beacon of Tomorrows , putting it on top of your library. Pass to your next turn. You will either draw the land, or Beacon of Tomorrows . Either way, swing with Narset, Enlightened Master (after making sure she can connect with one of our unblockable effects). You will exile the remaining card from your library, casting Beacon of Tomorrows or not. If you drew Beacon of Tomorrows , cast it from your hand AFTER swinging with Narset, Enlightened Master . This will give you infinite turns and you will not deck yourself since Beacon of Tomorrows keeps getting put back on top. Repeat this process until you kill everyone with commander damage.

This deck, like all of my decks, is a work in progress. I would love to hear any ideas you have in the comments, and be sure to check back periodically as I continue to update the list (as indicated by the dates at the top).
