This video features a variant of Jeskai Fires of Invention in a Standard Event, Best-of-one (BO1), in MTG Arena.
There are three different Jeskai Fires builds - the kind with Fae of Wishes, the kind with Sarkhan, the Masterless and lots of planeswalkers, and the kind with Cavalier of Flame. The Cavalier build is a midrange / combo hybrid that kills on turn five or six with hasty monsters. It is better against Cat / Oven decks and midrange decks than the other versions, which have to control the board and win later in the game. This version adds God-Eternal Oketra and Adventure creatures to win quicker and play a stronger game without Fires of Invention. God-Eternal Oketra plays better with Adventure creatures and Kenrith, Returned King than Cavalier of Gales does, and Oketra is also better against Mystical Dispute.
I prefer BO1 to BO3 for a variety of opponents and experiences. It also makes shorter videos possible since a BO3 match can take an entire video’s length on it’s own. I prefer Standard Events to Ranked Ladder because of a more varied meta and better rewards. If you get to 4 wins, you get your gold entree fee back and you get some card rewards. If you get to seven wins you double your gold. I estimate I have made about an extra 10,000 gold this season from playing Standard Events vs Ranked Ladder.
This deck was inspired by someone who crushed me on ladder with Fires, Oketra, Cavalier of Flame. You only need to get hit for 24 out-of-nowhere once to be “inspired”
I cut one win from the video because it was too easy, and I didn’t include a loss to Gruul Adventures because I honestly forgot to hit record. Final record, 7-2.
The next randomly selected video for the Color Challenge is Jund.
