General Info

Introduction

This is my Jeskai deck that resembles the aspects of Speed and Cunning (Fire and Ice). This deck is built around Ojutai's brood and the Jeskai clan of Tarkir, and most cards in this deck are full of Dragon Monk flavor. This is the best deck I have ever assembled. This deck has extreme synergy between everything that is played, and has so much flavor between the cards and their art. What I love most about this deck is it's ability to go from nothing to dealing 20+ damage out of nowhere. Props to cheesewizcheesewiz for his help.

Creature Types

The creature types in this deck are mostly monks and their Dragon masters that they refer to as the Skywise. Most of these creatures have prowess in some way, and each one excels at combat.

Themes

The major theme of this deck is Combat Prowess. This deck destroys in combat. In fact never threaten these creatures in combat. You will die. lol. Since this deck is Jeskai, there is a lot of synergy in Noncreature Spells. Basically this deck grows in strength from everything that is played in the game.

Strengths

• Combo decks. This deck acts way too fast for combo decks to get their pieces together.

• Aggressive decks. Because of all my playtesting there is no deck faster than this deck and unlike most aggo decks, this deck is also designed to dominate in the long-game.

• Control decks. Again, the speed of this deck is too much for long-game control decks.

Weaknesses

• High Removal Decks. Most of my cards are low in cmc so decks that I have a lot removal spells can remove the key pieces in this deck. During playtesting I find that this deck struggles against my deck:29-04-18-archangel-of-death deck.

• Token Decks. While this deck has several answers to token decks, if left unchecked token decks will run you down.

End-Game

The End-Game of this deck is Damage amplifiers and multiple combat phases. This deck is able to have any creature deal 20+ damage out of nowhere with effects that increase damage, give double strike, and create multiple combat phases.

Commander

Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest is my commander for several reasons.

• He is very easy to summon at 3 mana, which adds to the speed of this deck.

• He has prowess which allows him to grow out of control.

• He can also give any of your creatures (including himself) double strike for twice the damage.

• He can also give any other creature your opponents control double strike which can add to some very fun politics at the game table. Even more so (if you have the right cards in your hand) you can give double strike to creatures attacking you which you can then redirect the now doubled damage back at the attacking creature's controller.

Planeswalkers
