Overview:
This Narset, Enlightened Master deck is a high-powered extra turns/planeswalker value engine that leverages free spellcasting and infinite turn loops. The core strategy revolves around attacking with Narset to cheat out game-warping noncreature spells like Time Warp and Capture of Jingzhou, while accumulating value through planeswalkers like Teferi, Hero of Dominaria and Jace, the Mind Sculptor. Secondary win conditions include infinite turns via Underworld Breach recursion loops and planeswalker ultimates. Narset is mission-critical as the primary enabler, though the deck includes multiple backup lines with planeswalker synergies.
Primer:
Core Strategy Execution:
- Early Setup (T1-3): Deploy fast mana (Mana Vault, Sol Ring, signets) and setup tools like Scroll Rack or Rhystic Study. Cast Narset as early as T3 using Mox Amber/Chrome Mox.
- Narset Value Phase (T4+): Attack immediately to exile 4 cards. Prioritize free extra turns, planeswalkers, or protection spells. Use Reconnaissance to safely attack while preserving Narset.
- Combo Execution:
- Infinite Turns: Underworld Breach + Time Warp/Nexus of Fate + Lotus Petal-equivalent effects (missing here - potential weakness)
- Planeswalker Lock: Oath of Teferi + Teferi, Temporal Archmage/The Chain Veil for repeated activations
- Direct Win: Chandra, Awakened Inferno emblems or Ugin, the Spirit Dragon ult
Mulligan Priorities:
- Keep hands with Narset + 2-3 mana sources (including at least one colored source)
- Prioritize early protection (Lightning Greaves, Grand Abolisher) against interaction-heavy pods
- Ensure at least one free spell (extra turn or planeswalker) in top 10 cards for early Narset triggers
Key Tips:
- Use Scroll Rack to stack instant-speed extra turns on top before combat
- Displacer Kitten triggers enable planeswalker loyalty resets and protection blinks
- Ichormoon Gauntlet turns planeswalkers into proliferate engines and alternate wincons
- Teferi's Protection protects both your board and life total during critical combo turns
Weaknesses:
Critical
- Complete reliance on Narset triggers for momentum - repeated removal cripples the deck
- Limited creature presence makes planeswalkers vulnerable to aggressive strategies
- No graveyard recursion beyond Underworld Breach (easily disrupted by Rest in Peace effects)
Moderate
- High density of nonbasics makes mana base vulnerable to Blood Moon/Back to Basics
- Limited instant-speed interaction outside countermagic for resolved threats
- Struggles against Drannith Magistrate/Archon of Emeria effects
Minor
- Some air in the list (e.g., Comet, Stellar Pup underperforms)
- Light on board wipes beyond Farewell/Wrath of God
Most Important Cards:
- Underworld Breach (Infinite turn enabler)
- Scroll Rack (Narset trigger manipulation)
- Teferi, Temporal Archmage (Untap engine for infinite activations)
- The Chain Veil (Planeswalker multiplier)
- Oath of Teferi (Double planeswalker activations)
- Mana Vault (Critical early acceleration)
- Cyclonic Rift (Board reset that preserves planeswalkers)
- Ichormoon Gauntlet (Proliferate engine and alt-win)
- Force of Will (Free protection for combos)
- Displacer Kitten (Protection and value engine)
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 8/10
Capable of T4 extra turn chains with perfect mana, though typically threatens wins T5-7. Missing fast mana like Mana Crypt prevents cEDH-level speed.
Resilience: 6/10
Counterspells and protection spells provide layers, but over-reliance on Narset makes the strategy fragile to focused removal. Limited creature recursion.
Consistency: 7/10
Strong tutors (Enlightened Tutor, Mystical Tutor) and card selection (Brainstorm, Scroll Rack), but lacks redundancy for Narset herself.
Interaction: 7/10
Excellent stack interaction (Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship) but light on permanent removal beyond board wipes and Chaos Warp-like effects.
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at cEDH-adjacent speeds with T5-7 win potential through extra turns and planeswalker value, but lacks the compact combos and free interaction of top-tier lists. While powerful, its Narset dependency and vulnerability to common stax pieces place it just below top competitive tiers.
Power level: 7.5 - 8.0
