Description

 J E S K A I   D R A  K E S 

imageimageimageimage

Jeskai Drakes deck tailored originally built for Bo1 and tweaked for Bo3.
Work in progress.  Has been quite successful in Constructed Event on MTGA with multiple 5-X runs in Bo3 and 7-X runs in Bo1.
 

 MATCHUPS AND SIDEBOARDING 

 

 CHANGELOG 

05/02/2019 - Removed 1x Enigma Drakeimage, 1x Niv-Mizzet, Parunimage, and 2x NegateimageAdded 4x Pteramanderimage.  Pteramander is probably the one card that's pushing Drakes decks to competitive levels in this meta, and it seems like an almost mandatory include in this deck.  This deck seems to function fine without Niv, and Negate often ends up being a dead card where you'd rather have access to threats.
27/01/2019
- Removed 1x Deafening Clarionimage and 1x Cleansing NovaimageAdded 2x Dovin, Grand Arbiterimage.  Purely experimental change.  Attempting to test synergy between Dovin and Drakes, as well as the tokens generated by Murmuring Mystic.  May just end up being a win-more addition, but it is hard to be sure without testing.
27/01/2019
- Removed 1x Spell Pierceimage and 1x Chart a CourseimageAdded 1x Banefireimage and 1x Dive Downimage.  After noticing a distinct lack of The Eldest Rebornimage being played, decided to include an additional Dive to protect against single target creature destruction.  Banefire seemed like a necessary inclusion for fighting control decks and closing games through counterspells.
23/01/2019
- Removed 1x Crackling Drakeimage, and 1x Chart a Courseimage.  Added 1x Enigma Drakeimage and 1x Niv-Mizzet, Parunimage.  Crackling was often times a dead card in situations against aggro where an early blocker would have been more useful, and the inclusion of 4x Enigma helps the deck's curve overall.  Decided to add in one more Niv-Mizzet to help combat control match-ups.
11/01/2019
 - Tweaked manabase to include 22 sources, Detection Towerimage, and Drowned Catacombimage as a Black source so that Dispersal could be used in the mid to late game as potential disruption/removal.
11/01/2019
Removed 1x QuasiduplicateimageAdded 1x Murmuring MysticimageQuasiduplicateimage was oftentimes a dead card without a good target, whereas Murmuring Mysticimage provides a solid blocker, doesn't die to Clarion, and produces threats / chump blockers.
 

 NOTES AND CONCERNS 

11/01/2019 - Murmuring Mysticimage has been over-performing, especially against control decks.
09/01/2019 - Deck is undergoing more testing and changes after finding that it underperforms vs control and midrange.
