Dark Jeskai is one of the most popular decks in the current Standard format, and is likely the best Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy deck available at the moment. The deck is capable of being both an aggressive and control deck, depending on what the situation call for. The deck sports Mantis Rider, Crackling Doom, and Ojutai’s Command, allowing him to potentially get in damage faster than other control decks can deal with, while still having options if they play a difficult to deal with threat like Dragonlord Ojutai, and have it also be useful if they play some sort of aggressive deck, like Abzan or Atarka Red.
