With the reprint of the Caverns of Souls in the Magic: the Gathering Lost Caverns of Ixalan set, I am happy to see some new variance of the tribal decks in the Standard format and one in particular that I will feature in today’s blog post is the Jeskai Humans deck.
In the past and older formats, Humans can actually afford to cater the five colors of Magic and it is observed in the Modern format which I was able to play in an actual event back in Grand Prix Hong Kong 2018. The landbase from its Modern list is now somewhat being copied in Standard as two tribal mana-fix nonbasic lands are still legal to play.
A Jeskai Humans deck in Standard would likely focus on aggressive, creature-based strategies, leveraging the synergies among Human creatures that generates board advantage, and possibly incorporating elements from the Jeskai color combination (white, blue, and red).
I was able to do a deck tech discussion of the build right after checking on a reference deck list from MTG Top 8. Do check it out on the video below.
