Jeskai Super Friends: 10 planeswalkers, 0 creatures in Standard
A Jeskai control list built on Reality Fracture planeswalkers features Ajani Unrelenting.
A Jeskai (blue-red-white) "Super Friends" control deck for Standard runs 10 planeswalkers and no creature cards in the main deck. It is built around Reality Fracture and includes Ajani Unrelenting.
The deck list
The main deck has 25 lands and 35 spells, and the sideboard holds 15 cards.
The 10 planeswalkers come in five kinds, two copies of each: Chandra, Rebel Pathfinder; the blue Chandra of the Obedient Chill type; Jace Beleren the Theorist type; Elspeth, Stormbreaker type; and Ajani Unrelenting.
The other spells include 3 Lightning Helix, 3 counterspells of the Quench type, 4 draw spells of the Refill type, 2 wrath effects of the Doomsday type, 2 Pinnacle star-cage, 2 Consul's authority, and 1 Gideon's memorial. Several of these are known only by their Japanese names, so English names are not confirmed.
The mana base includes 4 each of Sacred Foundry, Steam Vents, and Hallowed Fountain, 4 Floodfarm Border, 2 Sunbillow Border, and 1 each of Riverpyre Border, Abandoned Beach, Stormcarved Coast, Monastery of Mount Kori, Path to the Multiverse, Plains, and Mountain. English names for some of these lands are not stated.
The sideboard has 1 Erosion-type card, 2 Fire magic, 1 Pinnacle star-cage, 2 Flash freeze, 2 Precise revision, 3 Victory musician, 2 Price of freedom, and 2 Rest in peace-type. These are also known only from Japanese names.
How the key cards work
Reality Fracture is in Standard and has 8 different planeswalkers. The five original Planeswalker-card characters gather in it, 4 of them stay planeswalkers, and each also has a counterpart self in a mimic universe.
Ajani Unrelenting creates a 2/2 apprentice token whenever a planeswalker loyalty ability is activated, including abilities of other planeswalkers. It can also pump creatures and give haste, draw cards equal to the creature count, and deal 4 damage to creatures other than its own tokens, working as a sweeper.
Chandra, Rebel Pathfinder is a reprint with proven strength. The deck takes 4 planeswalker kinds from the new set.
The blue mimic-universe Chandra has 4 abilities like Chandra, Rebel Pathfinder and costs 3 mana. Her [+1] adds blue mana, which cannot be used to cast creatures.
The Walk as a Pyromancer-type card costs 2 mana. It gives Jace a token and lets planeswalkers add red mana, so Jace can raise his own loyalty to reach his [-3].
Why it matters
Super Friends is a traditional Standard archetype that had not appeared for several years. Standard sets had been containing fewer planeswalkers, some none at all.
Its Avatar of Burgeoning Echoes is reportedly seeing Vintage play, mostly in RUG Tempo/Control, as covered in TCGKing's Vintage report.
What is still unknown
No tournament results for the deck are stated, and official English names for several cards are not given. No release date for Reality Fracture is given.
What it means for players
- Ajani Unrelenting makes 2/2 apprentice tokens when planeswalker loyalty abilities are activated.
- Players should check English card names before building, as some are not confirmed.
- The deck has no published results yet, so its performance is untested.
