Jacob Hauken, Inspector // Hauken's Insight
Filter through your deck using Jacob Hauken's draw-and-exile ability to flip into Hauken's Insight, then cheat massive leviathans, sphinxes, and engines into play for free. Win through overwhelming combat damage with flying threats and card-draw-scaling creatures, supported by mass bounce board wipes.
Prompt: A blue deck for Jacob Hauken, Inspector, around $35. I like card draw, specially card draw engines. I don’t know win conditions, but could be related to the commander’s ability. If possible, creatures with flying. Need 4 or 5 board wipes(consider returning all permanents or creatures to hand as a board wipe). Please and thank you.
