What if I took some Planeswalkers and tried to get a deck out of them?
I have felt that Jace, Cunning Castaway was underused: it's a three mana planeswalker that does stuff and maybe even gets to copy itself. That seems neat!
I own these cards: Let's use some and build something.
4 Illusionary Servant
4 Lord of the Unreal
4 Krovikan Mist
3 Hypnotic Sprite
3 Brainstorm
3 Mana Leak
3 Opt
3 Polymorphist's Jest
23 Island
2 Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor
3 Jace, Cunning Castaway
3 Mu Yanling, Sky Dancer
2 Tezzeret, Artifice Master
I don't have a title for this deck, yet. It's brand new, and it doesn't feel like it has a theme to rally around.
What I can tell you is that initially I was running more Kasmina and zero Polymorphist's Jest. Kasmina might be a card that I really want to work, but doesn't quite. The thinking is: she will help protect all of my relevant permanents, and can help me dig through the deck, which all seems like a win-win.
Early tests though demonstrated that I needed ways to interact with the board. My creatures are generally 2/2s or bigger: why not just make everything 1/1s?
That was the first change and there will undoubtedly be more, but this is a good place to start.
