So Jeskai Heroic Combo is a thing...and it won in Oakland. However, my opinion is that the shell of the deck looks great, but that the combo is hindering its capabilities. I'd rather have solid creatures than a combo that's hit and miss if you spend every turn digging for it. Burn closes games out too my friend!

Then I notice Tom Ross's UW Heroic on Starcity Premium. I quickly built the list and fell in love, and cheered him on to a 3rd place finish...but there are things I would like to improve on in the future for the deck (as presumptuous as it sounds).

So I came up with the bright idea to take the enchantment shell of Tom's UW deck and implant it into the Jeskai Heroic deck in place of the combo. A few other subtle changes later, this was my monstrosity!
