Jeskai X

There are a dozen decks you can play with the Jeskai shell. This is my current one.

Jeskai Land Control

Abusing the interaction between Goblin Dark-Dwellers and Boom/Bust. Hit one of your own fetch lands with Boom then sacrifice the fetch in response to get Boom/Bust into the graveyard. Goblin Dark-Dwellers can play Bust by targeting Boom. Get Crucible of Worlds out to keep the opponents land under control with Ghost Quarter and Tectonic Edge. Keep the board clear of threats with the Jeskai removal and counter package.

Changed it up to be a bit more generalized.

Jeskai Geist

Round 1 v Burn (0-2): Yeah, he burnt me out both games pretty quickly. Made a couple pretty clever plays, but couldn't stabilize.

Round 2 v Loam Jund (2-1): Game 1 I drew a really great hand, two snapcasters, a Restoration Angel, a Lightning Bolt, three land. I didn't let him do anything. Swung in for the win with Resto and Snap. Game 2 mulled to five. He played all Jund-y like, which is a bad matchup for us. Bad draws made it bad. Game 3 mulled to six. Burnt and countered everything. Surgical Extraction Bloodghast, snap Surgical Extraction to hit Grim Flayer. It was pretty bad.

Round 3 v Affinity (1-2): Game 1 controlled the board. Swing in for the win. Helped that he mulled to five. Game 2 I get three steam vents, a bolt, a Restoration Angel, a Serum Visions, and a Path. End up drawing into all four bolts but no white source. He eventually beats me. Game 3 mull to five. Four land and a Stony Silence. Start to lock the game down, but I'm just too far behind after he kills some of my land.
