THE WAY OF A JESKAI MONK

This list is outdated, you can find the new list on Moxfield: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/sHtRHb5370SUftsvUhWHcQ

Hello monks and welcome to the cEDH primer of Narset, Enlightened Master!

This deck has a pretty straight forward proactive gameplan, which works a bit like Godo, Bandit Warlord. Like in Godo, your commander is your key to victory. The deck is filled with extra turn/combat-spell, stax/hatepieces and counterspells to survive long enough to attack with Narset. When Narset, Enlightened Master is online, you're winning a lot with your first attack or your opponents surrender, because you're playing extra turn after extra turn.

---

---

Introduction:

Most of you will probably have played or lost against a Narset-deck before. Most people don't like Narset, because of the hexproof she's difficult to remove and she can do obnoxious things, like chaining extra combats and turns, staxing or destroying all lands. Most of the time you win with your first attack.

I'm playing since the release of "Onslaught" back in the days and Narset was my second commanderdeck which I build in january 2014. Since then I played a lot of games, tested different cards and since the last 2 years I pushed the deck togehter with my friends and the players from the Narset-Discord-Server the max. With this list, we want to prove that this Narset-list can compete on almost every cEDH table with her unique playstyle.

Gameplan:

The idea of this deck is pretty simple:

1. At first ramp as hard as you can, to play Narset before your table can answer her
2. Give Narset haste and protect her with stax or hatepieces, counterspells or cards like: Silence/Cavern of Souls/Teferi, Time Raveler/Grand Abolisher
3. Attack with Narset and play your strong/expensive spells for free
4. Try to hit Cataclysm/Tragic Arrogance or Armageddon to make sure that you're not getting interrupted by something.
5. Try to chain extra turns and extra combats to finally close out the game with one of your combos mentioned bellow
6. The royal discipline of this deck is, to learn to pilot this deck. You have to learn how to fly under the radar, when to play Narset and win with a good timed swing.

Mulligan:

Mulligan for 2-3 different colored sources, your best ramp and cards like:

• Protection/Interaction: Cavern of Souls/Expedition Map, Silence/Force of Will and your other counterspells
• Cardadvantage/Filter options: Mystic Remora/Rhystic Study, (Verity Circle, Sensei's Divining Top/Scroll Rack + Wheels
• Ramp/Rocks: Dockside Extortionist, Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
• Haste enabler: Hall of the Bandit Lord
• Disruption/Stax: Winter Orb, Torpor Orb, Grafdigger's Cage, Cursed Totem, Aura of Silence... (depends on your meta: Defense Grid, Rest in Peace....) (- Copy or steal the artifacts of your opponents with: Dack Fayden or Copy Artifact)

A good hand could be looking like: - Dockside Extortionist - best ramp in the deck - Chain of Vapor - instant speed interaction which can also bounce your dockside, to generate an insane amount of mana - Mana Crypt/Sol Ring - Cavern of Souls - best land in the deck because of the protection - Volcanic Island - Cursed Totem - shuts down all the mana dorks and a lot of stategies like Yisan, Trasios etc. - Mystic Remora - feed the fish!

Why should I play this deck?

In RUW-colores there are other very good commanders like Kykar or Elsha, but this deck deck has his very unique playstyle and if you like that (or if you like Godo, Rhoon/Kefnet Turns, Najeela or Edric), you'll have a lot of fun with this deck.

• Because you love big splashy plays and everything or nothing gambles!
• If you can identify yourself with this cool jeskai monk and you like extra turns, you're right here.
• If you enjoy playing big spells for free and if you have godlike topdecking skills, this deck is something for you!
• If you like playing more reactive and disruptive you should play another deck.
• If you have fun gambling and playing solitaire.

The main issue with the deck is that it relies very heavily on Narset and being a 3 colour 6 drop commander makes it rough sometimes. However, once you land a Narset, she's quite difficult to remove and often times a single swing means game.

Strength:

1. Narset's Secret Liar Art is incredible awesome, haha ;D
2. Narset's main strength is that she bores / annoys her opponents to death, while you're playing solitaire :D
3. Narset is really difficult to remove, because of her hexproof-ability which makes her really resilient.
4. As soon as she hits the board, the game is usually over, because she works like a combo in your commandzone
5. A big advantage of narset is that you don't really need one or more specific combo parts, you just need some kind of ramp, protection and preferably a haste enabler
6. You're in Jeskai colors, which means you have acces to the best counterspells, best stax/hatepieces and the best carddraw in the game
7. The cool thing with this deck, is that you can have a way higher manacurve/average CMC compared to other competetive decks in the format, because you can easily cast the biggest noncreature spells for free in this deck
8. Narset is a really unique commander with a pretty proactive straight forward gameplan

Weakness:

1. EVERYTHING IS BASED ON NARSET! If she's getting countered or destroyed, you're in a bad spot then.
2. Assembling 3 different colors and 6 mana isn't that easy. That's why so much ramp is needed in the deck.
3. This deck is pretty straight forward and really proactive. Because of that sometimes you can struggle against really disruptive strategies like stax- and control-heavy decks. Use your meta slots and learn to play Narset at the right time, to make sure she's resolving.
4. Topdecking casual counterspells with Narset, Enlightened Master-ability is really bad and that's why the deck is running counterspells like Pyroblast, Unsubstantiate or Narset's Reversal and just a few of the other cEDH-counterspells. Use your counterspells only to stop people from winning or to protect Narset.
5. Boardwipes like Supreme Verdict, Pyroclasm or Toxic Deluge are the easiest way to kill Narset.
6. Lacking ... your deck is lacking all the fast green mana and all the insane tutors without any condition, which makes many other decks more consistent.But since you won't be the only deck at the table that lacks black or green, that's no problem at all.
7. Big creatures... I mean, just bigger creatures than Narset are really annoying. But this is only a problem if there's no other player which you could attack.
8. Bad luck. I've won a lot of games with a single attack, but it's also possible sometimes to fail, that you really suck topecking.

How to use specific cards:

Why Expedition Map? Show

Yes this card is a bit slow and even Wayfarer's Bauble is better ramp, but you don't need additional ramp, what you need is a landtutor (Tolaria West works here, too), to find one of the following keylands:

• Cavern of Souls = This land is one of the most important cards in your deck. Without counterprotection like the Cavern(/Silence) or without your own counterspell, you don’t even have to try playing your commander. Because of that most of the time Cavern of Souls is your first choice.

The map is really great, because if you build your landbase right, the map will be Toolbox full of answers and solutions. If you already have a Silence or a Cavern in your hand, you're tutoring for a haste-land:

• Hall of the Bandit Lord / Hanweir Battlements   / Slayers' Stronghold

Sometimes you have already a Cavern and something to give Narset haste...

• the you can pick a land to fix your missing colours, like Skycloud Expanse

If Narset is already on the board, which land I'm looking for??

• Command Beacon = is the pefect card to tutor for, if Narset somehow died

• Strip Mine = to destroy an opposing land

• Scavenger Grounds = to stop a opposing Underworld Breach or graveyard decks like Gitrog Monster, Kess, Varolz, Meren or Muldrotha

• Tolaria West = another cool (but expensive) move, is to tutor for Tolaria West and then using the transmute ability to find Pact of Negation

• Ancient Tomb = for extra mana

• (The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale = if you have the money and enough mana to pay 1 additional mana each turn, then pick this monster)

• (Maze of Ith = I don't know why you never find this card in cEDH-lists but in every casual meta, this card is incredible good. Most of the time it's working like a Ghostly Prison-effect because being there alone ensures that nobody attacks us anymore. However, this card cannot be counted as a land because it doesn't produce mana!)

• (Emergence Zone = fun card to flash in Narset on your endstep)

• (Rogue's Passage = to make Narset unblockable)

• (Fiery Islet = to draw)

Let's enter the Hall of our Dreams! Show

Let's talk about Dream Halls: I don't know how it was possible to play the deck for so long without hearing anything about Dream Halls. When I discovered the card, I was very divided because my opponents can also use it. HOWEVER, we can not only use it, no. we can abuse it! But how? Well, that should be clear, unlike most cEDH decks, Narset has a much higher mana curve. In many cEDH decks the commander, Ad Nauseam and maybe a large beater/combopiece are the most expensive cards (CMC 5+). In contrast, in Narset: ~16 cards are more expensive than 5 CMC + Narset + Dream Halls. So we have more of Dream Halls because we can cheat much more expensive spells into the game, like:

• Discard Brainstorm for Omniscience or Aminatou's Augury
• Discard anything blue to get another turn
• Discard your expensive extra turn spell to cast mana drain for free
• Discard a red card to cheat in Ashling's Prerogative
• Discard any other RUW-card to cheat in Narset for FREE!!, because luckily it doesn't matter where the card is played from, because dream halls does not say that the card has to be played out of hand. Which is excellent, since the deck can sometimes have the problem that Narset has been countered or destroyed too many times and it was therefore hardly playable, because until you have 10 mana, a regular cEDH game has long been over.
• Furthermore Dream Halls is perfect as a Narset replacement, because it is also possible to string extra turns in a row and to play spells "for free".

If you want to play Dream Halls you should have Teferi / Defense Grid or Grand Abolisher on the field, otherwise you will throw your opponents at you with counterspells, because almost every counterspell will become a "Force of Will "will!

Conclusion: Dream Halls is a funny and strong, high risk high reward card. Therefore, you should only play it, if you have slightly adjusted your deck (Defense Grid / Grand Abolisher added) or you have no other choice.

Why Seething Song? Show

A very cool move in this deck is, if you have Skycloud Expanse + Seething Song, because it grants you exactly the mana you need to play Narset.

Seething Song or any other red ritual can be really good, but isn't necessary for this deck!

EDIT: I cutted Seething Song for Raugrin Triome because it felt like i didn't have enough lands in the deck and often I took more mulligans because I only had one land in my hand.

Tutoring cards: Show

It always depends on the situation, which cards are being searched for.

Your mainplan is for sure to get out Narset as fast as possible (which means, you're most of the time searching for Dockside Extortionist, protection/interaction, draw or topdeck manipulation) and after that you try to get out Omniscience for free, which means if you have an Enlightened Tutor and Narset is already on the Field you tutor for sure for Omniscience.

Protection/Counterspells:

Most of the time you have to play safe and because of that you have to stop beeing greedy. Start to protect your Narset with counterspells or Silence!

1. Protection: Cavern of Souls / Silence / Grand Abolisher / Teferi, Time Raveler (be carefull with Teferi, because sometimes you give the next player after your turn the win)
2. Force of Will / Pact of Negation / Force of Negation
3. Pyroblast / Red Elemental Blast / Mana Drain / Swan Song
4. Narset's Reversal to copy an opposing counterspell (Cards like Reverberate / Fork / Twincast are pretty solid cards, because you can use them, to copy enemy tutors, copy counterspells or copy your own extra turn spells)

Removal/Board Wipes:

If you dont't have the possibility to attack a player because of too many creatures/threats on the board, you need cards to remove them from the board!

1. Tragic Arrogance (/Cataclysm) if one of these cards are hitting the board, most of the time the game is over (be careful casting this, if other players have stronger creatures/or a better boardstate)
2. Armageddon (/Ravages of War/Catastrophe)
3. Austere Command to hit something specific
4. Karn's Temporal Sundering
5. Pyroblast / Red Elemental Blast
6. Grasp of Fate/Swords to Plowshares/Dismantling Wave

Value or Extra-turn/combat cards:

If Narset is protected and the board is clear, you're tutoring for a extra-turn/combat effects like:

1. Time Stretch/Expropriate = 2x extra turns
2. Aminatou's Augury = the ultimative value card
3. Karn's Temporal Sundering = extra turn with creature bounce
4. (Seize the Day = if you have enough mana, this card is a really good choice, too)

Put that card on top of your library and now attack with Narset, to cast your tutored card for free to get another turn/attack = more Narset triggers

If you don't have Narset out, a cool move is, to tutor for Temporal Mastery to take an extra turn for 2 mana next turn.

Card-Draw / Card-Selection

If you're behind on cards or just played a Cyclonic Rift, the folloing cards will give you a huge bonus:

1. Timetwister (Budget version: Windfall/Echo of Eons)
2. Wheel of Fortune
3. Mystic Remora / Rhystic Study
4. Jace, the Mind Sculptor/Dack Fayden
5. Sensei's Divining Top/Scroll Rack (& Verity Circle)
6. Copy a good draw spell with Narset's Reversal

If you have cards in your hand (or in your graveyard) which should be on top of your library:

1. Brainstorm
2. Jace, the Mind Sculptor
3. Scroll Rack
4. (Not Forgotten)

Cardchoices:

Metachoices:

• Torpor Orb = since Thassa's Oracle is so popular, the Orb is a really good hatepiece at the moment

• Angel's Grace = normally this card is a staple for me in every cEDH-deck with white which can run it. But this deck here is a bit different than other cEDH-decks.

• Null Rod/Karn, the Great Creator = shutting down a lot of your opponentents abilities and mana rocks, but since we're not in green, our ramp is also relies on artifact ramp, so be careful with cards like that

• Damping Sphere/Suppression Field/Aura of Silence = stax

• Grasp of Fate/Dismantling Wave = good for removing annoying things from the board. (Grasp is really good for removing indestructible cards like the gods and trades 3 for 1)

• Grafdigger's Cage, Rest in Peace = if you play against a lot of Flash Hulk, Worldgorger Dragon-combo, The Gitrog Monster or Muldrotha, the Gravetide-decks etc.

• Teferi, Time Raveler / Defense Grid / Price of Glory / Dovin's Veto = strong in control heavy metas

• Fiery Confluence/Blazing Volley = good to kill opponents dorks

• Gift of Immortality/Darksteel Plate = are good against board wipes and good against other creatures, because if Narset is indestructible/protected you can attack into every player you want. If your group isn't playing a lot of bigger creatures or removals/wrath-effects you should play another card instead.

Notable Exclusions

Brain Freeze + Lion's Eye Diamond + Underworld Breach = very good combo which can be faster than Enter the Infinite + Omniscience , but it doesn't work as soon as Underworld Breach is getting exiled with Narset before you have Lion's Eye Diamond or Brain Freeze in your hand or in your graveyard, otherwise you would also have to play Argivian Find, which in turn consumes a deck slot and then you would have Argivian Find and Brain Freeze as dead cards in the deck, which don't do much outside of the combo.

Lion's Eye Diamond + Underworld Breach + Wheel of Fortune = another playable combo but in a lot of scenarios I hadn't enough mana or cards in my graveyard to abuse breach.

Fierce Guardianship/Deflecting Swat = very good spells, but in this deck your main priority is to protect Narset when you cast her, because when she enters the battlefield the game is over pretty quick and in that scenario counterspells like Spell Pierce, Miscast & Dispel are just better.

Flawless Maneuver = Free protection for Narset, but sadly does "indestructible" not protect against sacrifice effects or the boardwipe staples Toxic Deluge/Cyclonic Rift

Teferi's Protection = this is one of the only spells which can protect you and your Narset against our archenemy Toxic Deluge but, when I played this card I often exiled it with narset or didn't have it in hand at the right moment and later it was just a dead card

Maybe-Cards:

The card I'm currently playtesting is Dream Halls, because Dream Halls is a really good alternative for Narset. Most of the time, you generate more value with this card than your opponents because most cEDH-decks didn't have as much expensive spells and much lower average cmc. BUUT you have to be careful with this card because your opponents can play all their expensive stuff (like Razaketh or Ad Nauseum) or their counterspells for free. When you play Dream Halls you should win the game on the spot or you should have atleast some protection going on like Grand Abolisher or Teferi, Time Raveler.

Thousand-Year Storm = most people will say, that this is a win more card and it isn't doing anything by itself. For you guys, just play Mind's Desire or another meta-choice. I love everything on this card, from the artwork to the effect, because you'll have insane chain reactions with this card and most of the time this card means game.

Strionic Resonator = this card feels bad for a lot of people because it doesn't do anything without your commander (just see this card as combo piece to win the game or just to make it a lot easier to win from that point). BUT if you're combining those two, you'll see/cast 100% more cards with every Narset trigger!!!

Austere Command/Catastrophe = I really love the versatility of those cards but a lot of people just told me, that for cEDH those cards are too slow... I mean, most of the time, I don't pay the mana for them and because of that they are in the maybeboard, but could be replaced if needed.

Cards to consider:

• Cards like Reverberate / Fork / Twincast are really versatile cards, because you can use them to copy enemy tutors, copy counterspells or copy your own extra turn spells

• Bribery = depending on your opponents/meta this card can be really cool and is always a lot of fun. If you're playing this card in your 99 and when you now Enter the Infinite you can Bribery one of your opponents, because in a 4 player pod, somebody will play Thassa's Oracle, so you can steal their wincon and use it against them. There are so many ways to abuse this card. Steal their wincons! Like Protean Hulk or versus a Gitrog deck, just steal their shuffle Eldrazi :D

• Need for Speed/Generator Servant = really good haste enablers for Narset (I don't like Mass Hysteria because Tymna decks will benefit immensely from this)

• World at War = reusable extra combat = increase the chances for a better chain! (Or just another extra turn spell: Part the Waterveil)

• Volcanic Vision/Divine Reckoning (I cutted this card, because my playgroup was playing a lot less creatures) = If your're playing games against creature heavy decks like Najeela, Edric, some form of farm/pod decks... this card can be good, but in most competetive metas, you always have an opponent to attack into

• Not Forgotten = reuse a spell of your choice

• Piracy or just another land = to add more consistency to our landbase/ramppackage

Combos + Interactions

• Your main wincon is Enter the Infinite + Omniscience which is explained in the "How to win"-Panel

• another cool interaction: play Dockside Extortionist, bounce the goblin with cards like Chain of Vapor/Unsubstantiate (or with Jace/Teferi) to generate a lot of Treasures

• cast Mystical Tutor/Personal Tutor and search for Temporal Mastery to get a cheap extra turn if your don't have Narset on your board

• Cast Narset, Parter of Veils + Wheel of Fortune/Timetwister to draw a lot of cards and deny your opponents draws

How to win:

ENTER THE INFINITE - Case 1:

1. Cast Omniscience + Enter the Infinite and put a card on the top of your library.

2. Now you have your whole deck in your hand and you can play everything for free

3. With Nexus of Fate/Beacon of Tomorrows you can now take infinite turns and kill everybody with Narset. (If you play play Bribery in your deck, you can also steal a Thassa's Oracle from someone to win the game.) If you already used your removals and a player has a bigger creature than Narset, you have to play Timetwister to shuffle your graveyard back into your deck.

ENTER THE INFINITE - Case 2:

Sometimes you're hitting Enter the Infinite with Narset before Omniscience. For this specific scenario I figured out an alternative route to take infinite turns:

1. You hit Enter the Infinite draw your entire deck.

2. In that case, put Omniscience on the top of your library and cast Fury of the Horde for its alternative cost from your hand by exiling two red cards, to get another combat with Narset.

3. With your extra combat you'll exile Omniscience from the top of your library. From that point you you have your deck in your hand and you can play everything for free. I think you'll find a way to win from here... :D

Other combos which however have proven to be suboptimal:

Strategy 1: SEE THE SECOND SUN Show

1. Assemble Approach of the Second Sun + Narset's Reversal (/or Remand)

2. Target Approach of the Second Sun with Narset's Reversal (/or Remand) and recast the SUN to close out the game.

Strategy 2: SEARCH FOR TOMORROW Show

(Infinite Turns with Mystical Tutor)

1. Play Isochron Scepter and inprint Mystical Tutor

2. Tutor for Nexus of Fate or Beacon of Tomorrows and put it on top

3. Cast Nexus of Fate or Beacon of Tomorrows by attacking with Narset, Enlightened Master. Get an extra turn and shuffle back Nexus/Beacon.

4. On your extra turn you can repeat this process by repeating step 2 + 3

5. Win with Approach of the Second Sun

Strategy 3: SEARCH FOR THE SECOND SUN Show

(Janky wincombo with Mystical Tutor & Approach of the Second Sun)

1. Assemble Isochron Scepter, Mystical Tutor and 2x extra Turn spells. Play Isochron Scepter and inprint Mystical Tutor

2. Tutor for Approach of the Second Sun with your Scepter and put it on top of your library

3. Attack with Narset, Enlightened Master (the first Approach of the Second Sun will trigger normally, but now be careful, to win with this "combo" you have to cast the second one from your hand!)

4. Play your second extra turn spell to repeat step 2.

5. Get an extra turn or just draw Approach of the Second Sun. After that, just cast it from your hand and win.

Strategy 4: TRICK THE SECOND SUN Show

(Janky wincombo with Remand/Narset's Reversal & Approach of the Second Sun)

1. Assemble Remand/Narset's Reversal & Approach of the Second Sun and 9-16 Mana!!!!

2. Cast Approach of the Second Sun and counter your own spell with Remand/Narset's Reversal to get it back to your hand.

3. Cast Approach of the Second Sun once again = profit.

Strategy 5: TIMETRAVEL Show

(Infinite turns with Narset's Reversal)

1. Assemble Isochron Scepter + Narset's Reversal + an extra turn spell like Time Warp
2. Cast Time Warp or something with a similar effect and respond by activating the scepter targeting your extra turn spell. The reversal will send the extra turn card back to your hand instead of the graveyard and will copy it, resolving the copy.
3. On your extra turn you can repeat this process by repeating step 2.
4. Win with Aetherflux Reservoir

Strategy 6: DRAMATIC SCEPTER Show

1. Assemble Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + Aetherflux Reservoir.

2. Play Aetherflux Reservoir and activate the scepter enough times to gain enough life to shoot all opponents with reservoir and win.

Strategy 7: FINAL FORTUNE Show

1. Assemble Isochron Scepter + Final Fortune + Sundial of the Infinite

2. Inrint Final Fortune into Isochron Scepter, take your extra turn, but end the turn with Sundial of the Infinite to remove Final Fortune-death-trigger from the stack.

Strategy 8: REST IN PEACE Show

1. Assemble Rest in Peace + Helm of Obedience

2. Play them both and activate the Helm to mill out an opponent
