Happy New Years! Hope everyone had a great holiday season! As we wait for Theros: Beyond Death to be released, I decided to play Jeskai Walkers. This list was sent to me by Kyle Star and it's a good one! Not sure what happened to Jeskai Walkers, but Kyle definitely brought it back and it's a big contender in the current metagame. I'd highly recommend playing it.
Let's go ahead and look at the decklist!
Time Stamps:
Match 1 - 00:01:09
Match 2 - 00:25:23
Match 3 - 00:44:03
Match 4 - 00:55:04
Match 5 - 01:20:45
Match 6 - 01:41:25
Jeskai Walkers | Eldriane Standard | Kyle Star
- Creatures (4)
- 4 Fblthp, the Lost
- Planeswalkers (16)
- 2 Ral, Izzet Viceroy
- 2 The Royal Scions
- 4 Narset, Parter of Veils
- 4 Sarkhan the Masterless
- 4 Teferi, Time Raveler
- Instants (10)
- 1 Chemister's Insight
- 2 Justice Strike
- 3 Negate

- Sorceries (3)
- 3 Deafening Clarion

The deck is very similar to the old Jeskai Walkers but with certain cards chosen for the metagame like Negate, main deck Justice Strikes, and even a pair of The Royal Scions which really helps you churn through your deck. Interplanar Beacon is such a good card and it really shows against the aggressive decks and the cat oven decks. Where they try to ping you for damage you gain slowly gain that life back over time with Beacon. I wasn't sure how good Solar Blaze would be, but after playing with it, I like it. It is killing almost everything that Time Wipe would and it's faster while also being easier to cast. If you like planeswalkers, control, or even Jeskai Fires I recommend you give this deck a go. It seems like an easy way to get to Mythic!
As always thanks for reading and I hope you have wonderful weekend!
