Surprise can be a powerful thing both in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering and in horr𒐪or films. In both cases, surprise can elicit screams of terror from the audience, especially when your manifested card turns out to be a giant 15/15 wurm bearing down on them.

That's the plan with Jump Scare!, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Duskmourn: House of Horror's surprise-themed Commander deck. This deck is all ✱about placing your cards face-down so your opponents never really know what they're in for. Your 𓄧foes will sense your victory with a growing sense of dread just before it leaps out of the darkness to strangle their life totals.

Jump Scare! Commander Deck List

Here's the full deck list for the Jump Scare! Commander deck.

Jump Scare! Commander Deck Themes

The biggest theme of Jump Scare! is leveraging the full power of 'manifest dread,' the new keyword ability from Duskmourn: House of Horror. Manifest dread is very similar to the earlier 'manifest,' but instead of placing the top card of your library face down, you look at the top two cards, place one of them face down as a 2/2 creature, and place the other in your gr꧑aveyard.

This allows manifest dread to also take advantage of graveyard recursion strategies, but Jump Scare! doesn't deal with the graveyard all that much. We'll fix that later.

Jump Scare! 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:wants to manifest dread as many cards as it can since many cards in it take advantage of the presence of colorless 2/2 creatures. Most notably the box topper commander (which we'll discuss more shortly), but there's also Glitch Interpreter, Growing Dread, Trail of My💫stery, Overgrown Zealot, and more.

Although Jump Scare! has many cards that concern themselves with either placing cards face down or flipping them face up, the commander that sets this strategy into overdrive is Zimone, Mystery Unraveler. With Zimone, every land played triggers manifest 𝐆dread, and every second (or more) land played flips over a previously manifested card.

With Zimone in play, every second land in a single turn becomes a free card played from the top two cards of your deck. That's incre๊dible value that can be enabled through something as si🙈mple as a Rampant Growth.

Don't overlook the surprise factor of manifest dread! A manifested creature can be flipped up at any time for its mana cost, so you can ambush opponents with something like a Hydra Omnivore if you've got th🍃e mana to spare.

Jump Scare! does have a few other potential commanders, but none of them have the same kind of synergy with the rest of the deck as Zimone. Kianne, Corrupted Memory is an incredible card that would shine in her own deck, but there's nothi𝓡ng in J♔ump Scare! that enables her (like instant-speed card draw to have the flash you'd want at any given moment).

Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Straight is a great card for the deck, but simply drawing cards on la🧔ndfall isn't the same as playing them for free. Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle likewise needs Zimone to sneak into play, otherwise you're waiting for five turns. And Tatyova, Benthic Druid is just as disappointing in the cꦅommander slot as Aesi.

Jump Scare! works best with Zimone, so stick with Zimone as your commander.

Jump Scare! Commander Deck Analysis

With Zimone taking center stage, Jump Scare! wants to have lots of creatures to manifest and lots of land to trigger manifest dread. Thankfully, Jump Scare! has𓆏 plenty, with 32 creatures (besides Zimone herself) and 38 lands. The remaining 30 cards support the overall strategy of flipping cards up or down, tossing lands onto the table, or providing on-demand removal/card draw.

On the creature side, there's a cavalcade of threats and sneaky answers. Hydra Omnivore, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, Worldspine Wurm, and Ashaya, Soul of the Wild are big monsters that can be played the hard way but are much better to cast using Zimone and an extra land drop courtesy of some of the supporting spells, like Rampant Growth, Cultivate, or Explosive Vegetation.

Sneaky answers include things like Kheru Spellsnatcher, who can steal a spell for its morph cost, and Trygon Predator, who can conceal its tr꧙ue identity as a 2/2 face-down card until it's time to spring into action to destroy an artifact or enchant♑ment.

Removal is typically difficult to accomplish for blue/green decks, but Jump Scare! makes the most out of several spells. Beast Within and Reality Shift pair with Counterspell for some targeted answers, while Oversimplify, Aether Gale, Ezuri's Predation, and the new Zimone's Hypothesis provide mass removal.

Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, and Myriad Landscape are all-star lands in Jump Scare! With Zimone on the table, playing one of them triggers mani🤪fest dread, and then cracking it to find another land to put into play tri෴ggers Zimone again to flip that manifested card over.

Jump Scare! is somewhat limited in terms of card draw. Glitch Interpreter, Body of Knowledge, They Came from the Pipes, and Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait help, but the deck could use some extra sources of card draw to ensure your hand is full.

Jump Scare! could also use more ramping spells that search out more lands. Zimone's ability works best when you're playing two lands on a single turn, which is typically best enabled by cards like Cultivate. We'll be looking to enhance Jump Scare!'♌s land-planting abilities in the next section.

Cards To Replace

To make room for some improvements, we're going to cut some underperforming cards. Kheru Spellsnatcher isn't a bad trick to play, but it's a tad expensive and doesn't play well with Zimone.

Beanstalk Giant and Greater Tanuki do some land-fetching, but there are better land-fetchers that also offer greater power. Biomass Mutation is a fine card, but the deck already has Ove🔴rwhelming Stampede and there are other game-ending spells we could add that better fit the overall them🌟e.

Cackling Counterpart, Retreat to Coralhelm, and Giggling Skitterspike don't really fit the overall theme of Jump Scare! now that we're focusing on Zimone. Skaab Ruinator isn't a bad card as we're certainly likely to have cards in the graveyard due to manifest dread, but we're not likely to have that many early on, risking Skaab Ruinator being a dead card if it's drawn in your opening hand.

Kiannt, Corrupted Memory is also a card that just doesn't really fit. Having flash is great, as well as an escalating threat, but Kianne would re💫ally thrive as the commander of a deck full of instant-speed card draw so you can have the flash you wa𝐆nt when you want it.

It's extremely unlikely that Kefnet the Mindful will ever be able to attack or block, making it an expeཧnsive option for card draw and bouncing your own land. Rashmi, Eternitiesౠ Crafter is likewise a convoluted source of card draw that could be replaced by something superior.

Finally, Sandwurm Convergence is a good way to generate a lot of pressure, but Zimone should be able to do that on her own with something that pl𝄹aces an extra land on the table every turn.

Jump Scare! Commander Deck Budget Upgrades

Let's kick up Jump Scare! with some upgrades that improve the deck's ability to play more lands and draw more cards, while also adding some potent new tricks that work well with Zimone.

Other Budget Upgrades To Consider

• Dig Through Time only draws two cards, whereas Treasure Cruise could draw three. Or you could just play Harmonize or Concentrate and not have to worry about removing cards from your graveyard.
• Reality Shift isn't bad, but Pongify or Rapid Hybridization might be preferable if you don't want to risk manifesting an even worse threat.
• Don't like Aether Gale or Oversimplify? Curse of the Swine provides excellent mass-removal in blue.
• If you want even more land-fetching (in place of Disorienting Choice or Wilderness Reclamation), consider Entish Restoration, Harrow, Wayfarer's Bauble, and Crop Rotation.
