    B manaR manaU manaW manaReleased October 2, 2026

    Multiverse Reforged from Reality Fracture is a four-color precon (white, blue, black, and red) led by Jace, Multiverse Architect. Its plan pairs tokens with expensive creatures for Jace’s −3, which trades another creature or planeswalker you control for the next creature or planeswalker revealed from your library. This guide makes ten swaps totaling $69.34 to improve the deck’s support and interaction without replacing that plan.

    What to cut / what to add

    These swaps shift resources from expensive or redundant spells toward cheaper interaction, recurring card access, and token support. Dack Fayden, Helping Hand, Ginger, Queen of Sweets, and Akroma, Angel of Fury are all potential Jace −3 hits, but their six- and eight-mana costs make them awkward draws. Cutting them makes room for support while retaining expensive hits such as Avacyn, Angel of Horror, Darksteel Angel, and Serra’s Emissary. There’s a trade-off: the cheaper creatures can also be revealed by Jace. The goal is a more functional deck between activations, not simply bigger reveals.

    Add

    • Caretaker's Talent

      Caretaker's Talent

      It turns the deck's steady token production into repeatable draw and later doubles a premium token.

    • Black Market Connections

      Black Market Connections

      It provides recurring cards, Treasure, and creature tokens from one flexible engine.

    • Swan Song

      Swan Song

      It protects Jace and the polymorph plan for one mana while answering most board wipes.

    • Goldspan Dragon

      Goldspan Dragon

      It adds a hasty threat that produces Treasure and doubles the mana from every Treasure.

    • Skullclamp

      Skullclamp

      Dack costs six and gives the creatures he reveals to your opponents, goaded, so most of his value goes to the other players. Skullclamp costs one and turns each expendable 1/1 token into two cards.

    • Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff

      Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff

      Ginger costs six and makes you the monarch, then gives you a 1/1 Gingerbrute each upkeep while you keep the crown, so the tokens stop the moment an opponent takes it. Lotho costs two and makes a Treasure whenever any player casts their second spell in a turn, for 1 life each, which ramps toward Jace and the eight-mana angels. Both are creatures Jace's −3 can exile, so the slot goes to the cheaper, steadier engine.

    • Idol of Oblivion

      Idol of Oblivion

      It gives reliable two-mana card draw whenever the deck executes its token plan.

    • Mirkwood Bats

      Mirkwood Bats

      Akroma is a Jace payoff, an eight-mana flier his −3 can put into play for free, but the deck keeps Avacyn, Angel of Horror, Serra's Emissary and Darksteel Angel as −3 hits that do more when they land than Akroma's protection and firebreathing. Mirkwood Bats takes the slot because every token you create or sacrifice makes each opponent lose 1 life.

    • Dovin's Veto

      Dovin's Veto

      It replaces an expensive variable draw spell with uncounterable protection against noncreature threats.

    • Arcane Denial

      Arcane Denial

      It trades a redundant six-mana polymorph effect for efficient universal stack interaction that replaces itself.

    Multiverse Reforged FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    It’s worth considering if you enjoy a token-based setup that leads into expensive creatures. Out of the box, the list supports that plan with token production, mana support, and several large Jace targets. Its weakest points are expensive draws and the need for cheaper interaction and steadier card access. The roughly $69 of swaps on this page address those weaknesses while keeping the same core strategy.
    Jace, Multiverse Architect leads the deck and explicitly can be your commander. His +1 draws two cards, then puts a card from your hand on the bottom of your library. His −3 exiles another creature or planeswalker you control, then reveals cards until you find a creature or planeswalker to put onto the battlefield.
    No. At the beginning of combat on each opponent’s turn, that player may pay {2}. If they don’t, their creatures can’t attack Jaces you control that turn. That restriction doesn’t prevent attacks against you or your other planeswalkers.
    No. It stops at the first creature or planeswalker revealed, regardless of its cost. Adding cheaper creatures introduces smaller possible hits, so these upgrades balance the strength of individual reveals against having useful support throughout the game.
