Jeskai deck inspired by the Pro tour Jeskai Decks. Deck has been through several variations before I finally settled on this build. The deck has been consistent with beating the Shota Grixis Control that has been in my local meta.

Many people have questioned the Scatter to the Winds over the Void Shatter. While I really like the exile that shatter offers, people forget that the spell is devoid and therefore gets countered by Ceremonious Rejection. I also like the situations where I can awaken and get a large swing in with an activated "Man Land".

Kozilek's Return I like at the instant speed, though I have seen why Radiant Flames is good as well. I am still up in the air as to which is better.

Dynavolt Tower has been amazing, especially in the control matchup.

I chose to splash for the Anguished Unmaking because there have been games where I have been beat by a Jace, Unraveler of Secrets and I felt the deck did not have enough answers for Planeswalkers. It has been playtesting well and so far I am happy with it.

Any Questions or comments on the deck are welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
