Jaxis, the Troublemaker
$1.90
$1.90Legendary Creature — Human Warrior
Mono-red clone deck that discards cards to make hasty token copies of its best creatures, drawing a card each time one dies.
Read more
Jaxis copies creatures. For {R}, tapping and a discard, you create a token copy of another creature you control. The copy has haste and draws a card when it dies, and you sacrifice it at the next end step, so most copies replace themselves. Jaxis can also be cast for its blitz cost of {1}{R}. The deck plays creatures with strong enter or attack triggers, like Inferno Titan, so each copy deals damage or makes resources before it goes away.
In the recorded games, the deck came out fast with Jaxis and Professional Face-Breaker, turning attacks into Treasure and card access. An early Inferno Titan with copies behind it put heavy pressure on the table. Goblin Bombardment turned the end-of-turn tokens and Iron Myr into direct damage, and Cloudstone Curio helped replay creatures. With only ten games recorded, the picture is limited. The main weakness that showed up was removal: Do or Die forced it to sacrifice Jaxis or its best creature, and the discard cost could empty the hand if the copies didn't connect.
How it feels to play against
