ANALYSIS

Overview:

This Jeskai (WUR) deck helmed by Satya, Aetherflux Genius combines stax elements, creature-based value engines, and energy synergies to control the board while generating overwhelming advantages. Satya serves as both a value engine and win condition by creating cloned attackers that trigger powerful ETB effects like Terror of the Peaks damage or Port Razer combat phases. The deck runs a dense package of Rule of Law effects (Archon of Emeria, Deafening Silence, Ethersworn Canonist) to slow opponents while leveraging efficient tutors and card advantage engines to assemble key pieces.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

  1. Early Game Lockdown (T1-3): Deploy stax pieces like Deafening Silence/Ethersworn Canonist while ramping with Sol Ring/Dockside Extortionist. Use Mother of Runes/Giver of Runes to protect key pieces.
  2. Mid-Game Value (T4-6): Cast Satya and attack to clone high-impact creatures like Terror of the Peaks (doubling damage triggers) or Port Razer (extra combats). Use energy from Satya's triggers to preserve cloned tokens.
  3. Win Conditions:
    • Combat Overkill: Multiply combat phases via Port Razer clones and Roaming Throne (doubling triggers).
    • Burn Synergy: Stack Terror of the Peaks clones with token generators like Bennie Bracks, Zoologist for massive damage.
    • Infinite Mana: Dockside Extortionist + Sakashima of a Thousand Faces (copying Dockside) + Temur Sabertooth (bounce/replay) generates infinite Treasures.

Mulligan Priorities:

  • Keep hands with 2-3 lands including color fixing (fetchlands/duals).
  • Prioritize T1 stax piece (Esper Sentinel, Archivist of Oghma) or protection (Mother/Giver).
  • Ensure access to Satya enablers: ramp (Dockside/Sol Ring) or clone targets (Terror/Port Razer).

Key Tips:

  • Clone Roaming Throne naming "Human" to double Satya's attack triggers.
  • Use Galvanic Discharge/Jolted Awake to convert energy into removal/recursion.
  • Teferi, Time Raveler enables flash-speed Rule of Law effects via Dress Down cycling.

Weaknesses:

Critical

  • Heavy reliance on Satya's attack triggers makes the deck vulnerable to Propaganda/Ghostly Prison effects and instant-speed removal.
  • Limited creature-based ramp leaves the deck exposed to Null Rod/Collector Ouphe effects.

Moderate

  • Energy-dependent token retention struggles against Vandalblast/Energy Flux effects.
  • Rule of Law symmetry hinders own combo lines requiring multiple spells.

Minor

  • Some air in the creature suite (e.g., Agate Instigator, Pollywog Prodigy) reduces threat density.
  • Limited graveyard recursion outside Sevinne's Reclamation.

Most Important Cards:

  • Dockside Extortionist (Mana explosion, combo enabler)
  • Terror of the Peaks (Primary damage engine)
  • Rule of Law (Core stax effect)
  • Port Razer (Combat phase multiplier)
  • Teferi, Time Raveler (Stax protection, tempo)
  • Roaming Throne (Trigger doubler for Satya/clones)
  • Rhystic Study (Card advantage engine)
  • Imperial Recruiter (Tutor for key 2-power creatures)
  • The One Ring (Unconditional card draw)
  • Sakashima of a Thousand Faces (Clone synergy enabler)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Can establish stax locks by T3 and threaten wins via combat/burn by T6-7, but lacks T4-5 "oops I win" combos.

Resilience: 7/10
Robust protection suite (8 protection spells), recursive elements, and stax-backed board states mitigate disruption.

Consistency: 8/10
12 tutors (including creature fetches), 10+ draw engines, and redundant stax effects ensure plan execution.

Interaction: 9/10
Premium removal (8 targeted, 3 board wipes), 6 counterspells, and stax layers create dominant control.

Rating Justification:

This deck combines cEDH-level interaction density with high-powered stax elements and tutor consistency, but its win conditions operate at optimized casual speeds (T6-7). The robust protection and stax foundation elevate it above typical focused decks, placing it near the upper bounds of optimized play.

Power level: 7.0 - 7.5
