Hi, I need to pick a deck for the first PPTQ this Saturday. My options are pretty much anything blue, white, red, or some combination of those. I'm basically looking for the best deck I can make in those colors.

Are you rich? If so play some Jeskai Tempo :D If not, the heroic UW deck is cheap and competitive

Jeskai Tempo is the way to go! Though you could throw a curve ball and go with Jeskai Control!

My friend is loaning me his jeskai deck, and between the two of us, we have pretty much the entire tempo, aggro and control lists.

Either of you have a good tempo list?

Sorry Brah, I'm on Mardu but I'm sure MTG top 8 has something

Ended up building something really close to Yuuya Watanabe's Jeskai Tokens list. I'll try it out at FNM and if it does poorly I'll try something else, but that's where I'm at right now.

That seems like a good choice. That deck looks better situated than the typical Jeskai Fireworks build.

I've found that Jeskai Tempo is a great deck, and given me a lot of success in the past few weeks. I'd use that.

I ended up with jeskai tokens. The deck was fun, but I missplayed a fair amount. Pro tip: don't pick up a brand new deck the day before a tournament.

Here's my tempo list: Jeskai Deck Wins

I've recently added a plash of tokens Hordeling Outburst and I have had great success with it! Whatever deck you choose, make your you playtest a lot before the event. You need to be comfortable with whatever deck you are playing.

Also, I didn't see your comment before I posted. Sorry that you didn't win :/
