Juri, Master of the Revue
Control the board by repeatedly forcing opponents to sacrifice creatures while pumping Juri with sacrifice triggers. Win through explosive bursts of indirect damage, controlling edicts, and throwing an artificially inflated Juri directly at opponents' faces.
Asked for“I want a Red and Black Juri deck that's based around control. Have it be made basically of out of meta cards but swing up and be very unpredictable but strong.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
