Strategy
Jaxis is all about creating temporary copies of your best creatures and turning them into card draw. The blitz mechanic means Jaxis itself can come down for cheap, attack immediately, and generate card advantage when it dies. Your core gameplan is to build a deck full of creatures with high-impact enter-the-battlefield or attack triggers—then copy them repeatedly with Jaxis's ability, drawing cards while you go.
You'll want creatures that shine when duplicated: hasty attackers, creatures with ETB effects that drain or destroy, and lords that buff your team. The discard outlet ties everything together, letting you cycle through your deck while fueling recursion or threshold strategies. Win through a combination of aggressive pressure from your growing board and the card advantage that naturally flows from Jaxis's copying engine.
