Strategy

The overall strategy of this deck is to overwhelm your opponents in mid-game by playing multiple creatures by turn using Jorn, God of Winter   ability to get additional mana post-combat and finish them by pumping all of our creatures using one of the following:

• Kamahl, Heart of Krosa
• Thunderfoot Baloth
• Finale of Devastation

The deck also includes multiple way to create tokens to increase even more the number of creatures.

Win conditions

As we want to win through battle, there is no infinite combo in this deck. However here is some ways to kill your opponents:

• Kamahl, Heart of Krosa + Koma, Cosmos Serpent or Kamahl, Heart of Krosa + Koma, Cosmos Serpent + Thunderfoot Baloth : Koma, Cosmos Serpent creates a Koma's Coil at each player upkeep (notable the ones of your opponents) generating 12 powers per turn (in a 4 player configuration). With any card to boost their powers, it will quickly become unmanageable for your opponents.

Additionally, the deck also includes Villainous Wealth to out-value all of your opponents by playing the deck of one of them against them. With a card from the Flash category or Kruphix, God of Horizons / Omnath, Locus of Mana , you can have quickly access to a good quantity of mana and cast Villainous Wealth with X over 10.

Categories

This section will explain the different custom categories created for this deck and how they individually help the overall strategy.

• Survive the battle: Since Jorn, God of Winter   needs to attack to trigger its ability, we need to find ways to make it survive:
  • Be removed from combat with the interaction from Maze of Ith .
  • Become unblockable:
    • through an ability: Thassa, God of the Sea , Shizo, Death's Storehouse , etc.
    • the protection from colors provided by the sword cycle: Sword of Feast and Famine , etc.
  • Make it big: Thunderfoot Baloth , Kamahl, Heart of Krosa , etc.
  • Make it frightening to block: by granting deathtouch through Ohran Frostfang .
• Mana sink: Since Jorn, God of Winter   will untap our lands when attacking, we need ways to use our additional main phase 1. A way to do it is to have creatures/artifact that have repeatable activated abilities to sink this additional mana.
• Draw: In our optimal turn, we want to play a card (or multiple ones) in main phase and play again in our second phase:
  • We will prefer effects that makes us draw when a creature (or a spell) is casted or enters the battlefield: Beast Whisperer , Guardian Project , Rashmi, Eternities Crafter , etc.
  • We can also use effect that are mana sink abilities as we saw previously that they are quite synergic with Jorn, God of Winter  : Nylea, Keen-Eyed , Faerie Formation , etc.
• Flash: The effect of Jorn, God of Winter   is triggered in Declare attackers step. If you have a creature with Flash or are able to grant Flash to your spells, you can do the following with Jorn, God of Winter  :
  1. Declare Jorn, God of Winter   attacker.
  2. When Jorn, God of Winter   ability is triggered, respond by tapping out your snow lands/dorks to add mana to your mana pool.
  3. Maintain priority once Jorn, God of Winter   ability is resolved before moving to Declare Blockers Step.
  4. Tap your snow lands/dorks to cast a big mana spell since you have still the mana from 2. in your mana pools.
  5. To grant Flash we have: Alchemist's Refuge , Winding Canyons , Yeva, Nature's Herald , etc.
• Keep the mana: Some effects allows you to keep your mana across steps and phases like Kruphix, God of Horizons or Omnath, Locus of Mana . You can addition those effects with the ability of Jorn, God of Winter  :
  1. Declare Jorn, God of Winter   attacker.
  2. When Jorn, God of Winter   ability is triggered, respond by tapping out your snow lands/dorks to add mana to your mana pool.
  3. Since you do not loose you mana, you will have more mana in your second main phase.

Notable mentions

This section will reference card that I cut from the deck but that are still great alternative if you miss some cards.

• Blessing of Frost : Already too much draw in the deck. Far inferior to Return of the Wildspeaker due to sorcery speed preventing use of mana generated by Jorn.

• Horizon Stone : Having the effect on a creature ( Kruphix, God of Horizons ) is more relevant for the deck since we want to win through battle with our creatures.

• Omnath, Locus of Mana : Due to the cards being green in majority, you may not have any Forest available to add in your pool. It can replace Kruphix, God of Horizons in the deck if you do not have one available.
