The goal of this deck is to generate large amounts of tokens off of instants and sorceries, then kill the table with them. We mainly want to pull this off via Dovescape, but don't want to be completely blown out if someone manages to get rid of it. So how do we pull this off?

Mana

We need mana to cast spells. Jeskai isn't particularly good at providing ramp, but we have the tools we need:

• Sol Ring: This is basically there by default: you don't cut it unless you have an extremely good reason, and this deck doesn't have one.

• Arcane Signet: Slightly worse than the ring, but still very strong.

• Izzet Signet, Boros Signet, Azorius Signet: Signets. Good, cheap, and fairly reliable.

• Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Creativity, Talisman of Progress: Painlands, but as mana rocks.

• Mind Stone, Thought Vessel: Rocks with bonuses. Nice to have.

• Fellwar Stone: In a 4-player pod, this'll tap for at least one of your colors.

• Pearl Medallion, Sapphire Medallion, Ruby Medallion: We ideally want to cast several spells a turn, so cost reducers are pretty strong. Avoid table-wide reducers: we don't want our opponents to have the same advantage!

• Primal Amulet  : Discounts our instants and sorceries, them flips to copy them. Bear in mind that copied spells aren't cast for our triggered abilities.

• Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar: While Kykar can eat his Spirit tokens, these provide redundancy as well as flexibility - you can get either more mana or other colors of mana, and you can sac your non-Spirit tokens.

• Battle Hymn: With enough tokens out, this will generate a ton of mana even without a sac outlet. This is usually used to help fuel one of our X spells.

• Mana Echoes: This'll generate a bit of mana for you, as well as act as a lightning rod for opponents to destroy instead of something that matters.

Card Draw

We intend to cast a large amount of spells, and to do that we need spells in hand. We have a few sources:
