MTG Duskmourn – Jump Scare Full Deck Reveal

Alrighty, let me break down these enchantments for you from my perspective as a seasoned Magic player who’s seen more than a few sunrises.

Excitedly counting down the days until the release of MTG: Duskmourn! One deck I can’t wait to get my hands on is Jump Scare, led by the enigmatic Zimone, Mystery Unraveler. This deck is all about the thrill of manifesting and flipping cards with Landfall triggers – you never know what’s going to pop up next! The name Jump Scare perfectly encapsulates the suspense as we keep our opponents on their toes, wondering which card Zimone will reveal next. Can’t wait to see this deck in action!

The question under consideration is, could Jump Scare make for an effective pre-built commander deck in Magic: The Gathering? Here’s a look at the entire deck layout.

MTG Jump Scare Commander Deck

On September 27, 2024, Magic: The Gathering Duskmourn preconstructed commander decks are set to arrive at your local game stores (LGS). The price range for these decks is approximately between $47 and $50, which may vary depending on the specific store.

If you’re eager to learn more about the Duskmourn preconstructed decks, I’ve compiled a summary of key details for the forthcoming Jump Scare deck that you might find intriguing.

Commander

Zimone, Mystery Unraveler

Zimone, the Enigmatic Investigator is a legendary creature that costs 4 (with 2 generic, 1 green, and 1 blue), possessing the Landfall ability. When a land you control enters the battlefield for the first time during your turn, it triggers a “Manifest Fear” event. If this has not occurred yet this turn, manifest a 2/2 creature from the top of your deck and put the other card in your graveyard. You can reveal and activate the face-down creature later, as long as it’s a creature card, for its mana cost. Otherwise, whenever a land you control enters the battlefield, you may turn one permanent you control face up.

By examining the Jump Scare precon deck, gamers may desire to incorporate additional enhancements to give the deck a more cohesive feel. One effective suggestion is to include more enduring cards with visible triggers to fully exploit Zimone’s talents.
