JESKAI CONVOKE | STANDARD

A fast, aggressive deck uses cheap creatures to use the convoke mechanic to flood the board and play powerful spells very early.

KEY THEMES & STRATEGY:

Token Generator & Early board presence:

The deck is full of low-cost creatures that also generate and extra body on the board such as novice inspector, spyglass siren, and resolute reinforcements to gain early board presence. 

Early game threats:

Using the convoke mechanic, creatures on the board can be used as mana to play powerful threats early in the game such as Knight Errant of Eos.

 

PROS:

  • Can flood the board with creatures to snowball early.
  • Knight Errant of Eos and Case of the Gateway offer card advantage to ensure your hand is never empty.
  • Constant board refilling makes it difficult for control decks to keep up.
  • Can outrace slower decks.

 

CONS:

  • Weak to decks with boardwipes
  • Needs to have creatures on board to get the needed payoff.
  • Struggles with decks with excessive counterspells and removals.
