Deck Description

This deck is an update of Jack in the Box by The_MoC.

Jack in the Box was one of my crowning jewels in deck building. It was the first time I'd built a deck around an idea I've never seen in use. 3 phases of damage, hit like a freight train, and continue to do so every turn. Gleancrawler, Stalking Vengeance, Pandemonium, and anything with haste that died at the end of turn. Any creature I played became a giant damage dealing monstrosity. It was ingenious.
Of course, like any deck, it has its flaws. Setup phase is so long it's laughable. 1v1 is a joke. The whole thing was geared towards end game. If you survived long enough, you wreaked havoc and struck fear into their hearts. Knowing you can throw 30+ damage with a single creature at any time is a wonderful deterrent.
However, in the long years since it's inception, Jack has lost his mojo. Every time I play a forest and a mountain together, the rest of the players form a coalition, and strike me down with their concerted effort before I ever get off the ground.
I take it as a compliment.
The mere inkling that it could be Jack provokes immediate response.
Therefore, I've decided to make an updated version. Not the "take forever to do anything", but a more aggressive approach. Something quicker, if it doesn't hit as hard.

This is the first prototype of New Jack City.
