Modern forum

Hello Tapped out family!!!

I'm currently building Jeskai Nahiri and I'm almost done! I'm just looking on your opinions for the best Jeskai build in the current meta? I think Jeskai Saheeli and classic U/W/R with Sphinx' s Revelation and mainboard board wipes are slightly better positioned over Jeskai Nahiri in the current meta. What do you think?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts and reasonings! Thanks to all in advance!

anything with Supreme Verdict is better because it kill things like Death's Shadow and Tarmogoyf and you can even try Detention Sphere for certain matchups. Personally I think a jeskai tempo/flash deck is pretty good right now but its not really a control deck so idk if thats what you are looking for.

I think Saheeli's the best Jeskai deck out there right now. The threat of the combo is the real deal.

I can see both sides of your arguments!

As you said rothgar13 sometimes you just have the combo and you win. Being able to goldfish with the best of them definitely makes Saheeli a contender.

EmblemMan I can easily see your argument also. When the meta is just a bunch of decks racing each other, having all the answers seems good! Especially if your playing a reactive deck I feel it's best to go all in on being reactive in the current meta

If you're playing Jeskai, I recommend building it like Greg Orange's UW. A couple of Condemns in the maindeck, relatively few red spells. The only ones I have are 4 Bolts, 1 Electrolyze, 1 Lightning Helix. I really like Keranos, God of Storms as the finisher of choice.
