Jace, Architect of Thought

Planeswalker — Jace

+1: Until your next turn, whenever a creature an opponent controls attacks, it gets -1/-0 until end of turn.

-2: Reveal the top three cards of your library. An opponent separates them into two piles. Put one pile into your hand and the other on the bottom of your library in any order.

-8: For each player, search that player's library for a nonland card and exile it, then that player shuffles their library. You may cast those cards without paying their mana costs.

Last Laugh thank you for your suggestions. I’m currently re-editing this deck with a challenge of having at least 1 white, 1 blue, 1 black, 1 red and 1 green and 1 that has all 5 colour symbols in Planeswalkers, Creatures, Spells (Instants and Sorceries) and Enchantments Example - Planeswalkers - White Ajani, Strength of the Pride Blue Jace, Architect of Thought Creatures - Green Esika, God of the Tree  ^Flip Instant - All 5 symbols Unite the Coalition Sorcery - Black Yawgmoth's Vile Offering Enchantment - Red Mana Cannons

legendofa I know my friend's deck uses Sensei's Divining Top, Omniscience, and Enter the Infinite, so I could get one of my combo pieces, or steal one of their combo pieces.

Oh, I just realized it said creature card, I'm blind lol. Being removed right now.

Crash Through would be very good if I am running Narset, Enlightened Exile as my commander, or have Jeskai Ascendancy out.

I'm switching Jace, Architect of Thought and Bribery out.

As for whether unblockable or trample is better, probably unblockable, as here are the current common decks:

My friend: a Merry, Warden of Isengard and Pippin, Warden of Isengard token deck, or Sliver Hivelord slivers deck.

My mom: Kykar, Wind's Fury deck, or a Krenko, Mob Boss krenko deck.

My dad runs a Hazel of the Rootbloom token deck, a Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip discard deck. Sometimes a Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix *f-etch* and Thrasios, Triton Hero draw deck.

Unless you specifically want mass trample, Slip Through Space might be better than Crash Through as a finisher--basically another Enter the Enigma. You're going to have a small number of high-power creatures, but I'd like to know whether one unblockable creature or several trample creatures are better in your meta.

Tezzeret the Seeker is another straight-to-play artifact tutor. Maybe switch it for Jace, Architect of Thought?

Bribery is a good card, but do you have any specific intent with it?

Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my deck

Sep 23

Aminatou's Adventures in babysitting the Gatewatch won a long long game. Lucky to pull out a win with many combo pieces out: The Chain Veil, Felidar Guardian, Blinky the Eldrazi (Eldrazi Displacer, which blanked two pieces of removal on my final turn). Got infinite Jace, Architect of Thought activations into Wishclaw Talisman for Altar of the Brood. Darryl's colourless Assassins creed deck kept replaying Smoke Bomb, delaying me for several turns even as I tutored thrice with The Cruelty of Gix Saga, finally went infinite when he let the fuckin Smoke Bomb die. My losers' record goes up to 6-12

Like your deck, but I'm just wondering why you chose Jace, Architect of Thought over Jace, the Mind Sculptor. The latter seems to have more going for him.

I think your deck lacks some clarity/direction:

• you have super-aggro in Goblin Guide, but then a lot of slower creatures outside of that

• you have a lot of prowess creatures, but then mostly countermagic spells (which the creatures won’t benefit from)

• I don’t see how you benefit from running Upheaval.

• Your sideboard just appears to be more cards you’d want to include in the deck, as opposed to being cards that will help your bad matchups.

I think you need to figure out what you want this deck to do, and then focus more on building this list with that goal in mind.

Some other, more generic thoughts:

• Shock and Pillar of Flame just don’t do enough. Typically modern requires its bolt-cards do at least 3 damage to be viable.

• There’s a reason Jace, Architect of Thought is a $0.79 card.

• imo it’s better to run basics than lands that come in tapped. You’re only running 2 colours so the deck should be able to get-by fine with all-basics, whereas taplands are going to slow your plays down considerably

I would strongly recommend Chalice of the Void and Jace, Architect of Thought.

Academy Rector sac to pod get Doubling Season and a 5 drop in most builds it'd be Deepglow Skate - if you have any walkers on board chances are you can now ultimate and every walker coming down threatens an ultimate. :)

Arena Rector sac to pod get planeswalker of choice I usually get Jace, Architect of Thought or Ugin, the Spirit Dragon - and of course Deepglow Skate immediately ultimate walkers and watch everyone be sad.
