The American Way: A Jeskai Love Story

Standard RUW (Jeskai, America)

SerraCommander


Hide yo wife, hide yo kids. 'Murica is coming. This deck is capable of putting out 77 damage on turn 5 (maybe more), not including any damage you may have dealt prior to that turn. It has multiple ways of dealing 40+ by then as well.

Professionally speaking: The core of the deck revolves around creating a large freedom army and stomping terrorist face. I am still looking for ways to destroy the Jihadists. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm still searching for the perfect draw, but if I am correct, this can put out 77 damage on turn 5 with the perfect card order. All creatures will have trample as well.

This is done by swinging with eight 6/6 soldier tokens, two 7/6 Akroan Crusaders, one 8/7 Anax and Cymede, and one 7/6 Battlefield Thaumaturge.

Going second: Turn 1: Draw, play Mountain and Akroan Crusader.

Turn 2: Play Island and Battlefield Thaumaturge

Turn 3: Play Plains and Anax and Cymede

Turn 4: Play Mountain, Jeskai Ascendancy and Akroan Crusader

Turn 5: Play Coordinated Assault on both Akroan Crusader, spawning two 1/1 soldiers with haste. All creatures buffed +1/+1 through Jeskai Ascendancy. Follow up with a Launch the Fleet on all creatures. Creatures are buffed an additional +2/+2 through Anax and Cymede and Jeskai Ascendancy. Then attack; spawning six additional 4/4 soldier tokens tapped and attacking. Follow this with the last card in hand, Icy Blast, targeting all creatures on battlefield (including opponents, but not your BFT or soldier tokens), which activates its Ferocious ability. This gives all your creatures and addition +2/+2 through Anax and Cymede and Jeskai Ascendancy. That is how you deal 77 damage on turn 5.
