Currently the #1 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy EDH deck on TappedOut

As of: 12/10/2016

Baby Jace High Tide Storm

This Jace deck goes off on turns 3-4 fairly consistently, which is on par with the other storm decks.

This is a High Tide deck. It abuses the mana made by High Tide with cards like Frantic Search in order to win with the storm mechanic. The deck primarily consists of mana, card draw, a few counters, and a few win cards.

The deck plays a few combos, but dont feel like these are the only two ways to win the game.

Enter the Infinite

This card just wins on the spot. Its the easiest tutor target to win if mana isnt an issue. After casting this, play out all your artifact mana (being careful not to use mana where colorless will do) and cast High Tide and Palinchron for infinite storm/mana to Brain Freeze/Blue Sun's Zenith/Aetherflux Reservoir your opponents out of the game.

Brain Freeze

Once the storm count is high enough, you can use this card to mill your opponents out. Its hard to win with this card with anything less than infinite storm. It takes a storm count of 30 to knock out a single player, and 90 to beat an average table. But with a card like Remand, you can half those numbers by targeting your own spell. A Jace -3 is also a pretty good way to do that too.

Something people forget is that this card is an instant, and against other decks, you can mill them out on their turns if they try to do any combos. This is great against other storm decks in particular.

Mind's Desire

Minds Desire does cast your spells, so its not too farfetched that you get high enough storm count and continue to combo out.

Aetherflux Reservoir

The artifact from Kaladesh is vital for any storm deck. It's easily cheated out onto the battlefield, brings up your life total at an exponential increase based on your storm count, and with that life you can end another player(s) easily.

In decks like these, one of the hardest things to learn is which tutor targets to find. Below, I share some of the typical high priority targets to grab from each tutor.

Remember, each of these can find a lot of the cards in the deck: these are just the common grabs.

Unfortunately, doesnt have very many tutors so this section is short.

Trinket Mage

This card was included in the list as ramp, with the main targets being Mana Crypt/Mana Vault/Sol Ring. It turns out that paying for a Mana Crypt is still a pretty good rate, all things considered. Sensei's Divining Top is another consideration, especially if you have Future Sight or Helm of Awakening out.

Fabricate and Tezzeret the Seeker

If you are mid-combo and you need more cards, Bosium Strip is the grab. If you havent found High Tide yet, then consider Extraplanar Lens Helm of Awakening, Mana Crypt, and Mana Vault are the other easy grabs.

These also get Aetherflux Reservoir if you're already set up with your rocks and are going for the win.

Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor and Merchant Scroll

These can grab a lot of cards, but generally, look to grab High Tide if you havent found it yet and you have a good hand. If you dont have a good hand, Intuition is the grab, since this card will let you stock up on action quick. If you are mid-combo, getting Time Spiral or Enter the Infinite are good too.

Take note: it is not ridiculous to Personal Tutor for a Merchant Scroll to find High Tide. In EDH, we do what we gotta do.

Dizzy Spell

Dont ever make the mistake of thinking someone plans to cast a spell with transmute. Mana Vault, Sol Ring, High Tide and Mystical Tutor all cost 1 mana.

This is part of my 32 deck challenge.

Gonna test to see how Baral, Chief of Compliance works in the deck.

Currently replacing Tezzeret's Gambit.

His low cost, ability to further lower the curve of the deck, and loot's when i counter a spell allowing me to dig through the deck is powerful, my only concern is the addition of another creature. Yes 4 creatures seems like a small amount but here it matters suprisingly.

Time will tell
