Succession to the monarchy is easy, but will you hold the throne?

This deck doesn't rely on its commander - it doesn't really matter if Jared dies. His only job is to make the game fun by introducing the monarch mechanic. The player will be in a good position to win if they can maintain their grasp on the monarch mechanic. If not, oh well - at least the deck made the game more fun by introducing the monarch mechanic.

Deck Summary

This is a political "combat matters" deck with goad and tax effects, ways to survive its own wipes, and which eschews "card advantage" in favor of evasive attackers whose job is to win back the monarch

Every card in this deck is supposed to be impactful. That might sound like a weird claim, but I've made plenty of strong decks composed of cards that don't really matter - decks where the synergies matter more than the cards themselves. This deck is different - every card is supposed to be a threat or deal with one.

Control combat with goad effects like Marisi, Breaker of the Coil . Encourage opponents not to attack you with cards like Ghostly Prison and Archangel of Tithes . When you can't control the situation anymore, wipe the board with cards like Austere Command and Selfless Spirit , and then make a comeback with cards like Wildest Dreams and Emeria, The Sky Ruin .

Why did I make this deck?

I think the monarch mechanic is fun and I wanted to make a political deck. I also like combat-oriented decks and lists full of big fliers.

This deck's intended power level isn't supposed to be very high. It's probably stronger than most pre-cons, but it won't hold up against being ganged up on by them

Strategy Continued

A deck built around the monarch mechanic with lots of board wipes and fliers.

Most of the cards in the deck are themed around taking the monarch back (shadow - Soltari Foot Soldier , flying - Selfless Spirit , protection - Mother of Runes ), wiping the board ( Hour of Revelation , Star of Extinction ) and recovering from wipes ( Wildest Dreams , Reya Dawnbringer ).

If you're the monarch, Star of Extinction , Chain Reaction and Blasphemous Act will obscenely inflate Jared Carthalion, True Heir .

Winning the long-game involves bringing Emeria, The Sky Ruin online, and there are a few ways to tutor it ( Weathered Wayfarer , Ranger-Captain of Eos , Expedition Map ).

Goading is a fun way to control opponents' creatures, hence Marisi, Breaker of the Coil , Bloodthirsty Blade and Basandra, Battle Seraph

Recover after a board wipe with cards like Praetor's Counsel , Wildest Dreams and Reap the Past - these will even recover your board wipe cards themselves!
