This is Yet Another Jeskai Control Deck for Ikoria Standard Best of one and Best of Three in Magic the Gathering Arena. This deck wins with Narset Emblems, Dream Trawlers or Sharks from Shark Typhoon.  A friend of mine presented me the original version of this deck and asked me to make improvements to it.  This is the version of the list I came up with.

We are playing a basic control shell with three counters and six board wipes.  We then have three Elspeth Conquers death and two Justice Strike for single target removal.  As well as two Inspired Ultimatums that can be used to deal five damage to any target as well as gain us five life and draw five cards.  We're also running an omens package of four omen of the sea and two omens of the sun.  The omen of the sea allow us to make our dream trawler bigger or to dig to find the trawler if we haven't got him yet.  The omen of the suns add a little life gain and a coule of 1/1 chump blockers in a time of need.

Our planeswalker package includes the new Narset of the Ancient way.  She serves as mana and gives us life with her plus ability or she provides spot remove with her -2.  The real power though comes from Ulting her and getting the emblem.  When this happens every spell in the deck becomes a shock to any target!  We're running three Narset Parter of Veils to help us dig for cards when in a tough pinch.  Then of coure no control deck is complete with out Teferi Time Raveler. 

Shark Typhon represents another wincon in the deck.  It triggers off every spell we cast giving us a lot of sharks.  It also does 6 damage to a target creature or planeswalker if you use Narset of the Ancient ways neg two ability.  This has come in handy in mana games for me.

The land base is pretty stanard to a control deck.  I opted to go with two Castle Ardenvale and two Castle Vantress for their utilities.  We are also only running one Temple of Ephinany because I feel the deck doesn't want a lot of tapped lands coming into play.  I did include the Ragurin Triomes in the deck even though they come into play tapped.  They provide us access to all three of our colors or cycle away late game for three mana to draw a card.

Our sideboard package includes more single target removal, more counter spells and a way to stop graveyard play. 

In conclusion this deck is very solid.  Stabalizes well.  Offers several wincons and is fun to play compared to most control decks.  I hope you guys enjoy it!  Don't forget to subscribe on Youtube and click the bell to be notified when I post new content!  Have an amazing day!
