Singing Bell Strike

Designing Unconventional Uses

I've had lots of really weird moments in FRF-KTK limited where I use harmful spells against myself for weird fringe benefits to win the game. (E.g. using Singing Bell Strike on my own guy to untap him for 6 after Citadel Siege's effect to swing for the win.) Do you deliberately design for these weird applications? How does R&D feel about them?

We are aware of many of them. Magic shines when players can find ways to use spells differently than they are normally used.

Jeskai's Humble Strength

Why are the Jeskai so weak? You can perform a Singing Bell Strike, have your Dragons Eye Savants use the Flying Crane Technique, and finish up with a Deflecting Palm — and that still won't be enough to destroy a Little Girl.

Little Girl’s are tough. : )

Jeskai Deck Building

MaRo! Help! I just can't manage to build a decent Jeska(i) deck! Cards like Singing Bell Strike and Monastery Swiftspear are incredibly powerful but after that and Seeker of the Way, all of the other cards seem to be extremelly below the curve unless you play atleast 2-4 noncreature spells per turn! Which is very difficult to do, atleast for me with my very limited collection of cards. Any piece of advice? P.S is it a coincidence that you already have a card named Jeska?

My advice is to see what decks others are playing. I hear Jeskai’s doing okay (see below).
