Neon Genesis Evangelion — Sync

Commanded by Shinji Ikari, the Third Child, this Jeskai (white/blue/red) 100-Card Commander Deck is set in Tokyo-3, fifteen years after the Second Impact, where giant beings called Angels attack one after another and only the Evangelions — biomechanical giants that move when a fourteen-year-old pilot synchronises with them — can stop them. The cast includes Rei, Asuka, Toji, Kaworu and Mari, Misato, Gendo, Ritsuko, Fuyutsuki, Kaji, Yui and Maya, nine Evas and the AAA Wunder; the Angels — Ramiel, Leliel, Zeruel, Sahaquiel — appear as the battles, never as your soldiers.

• Sync: printed word for word on the nine Evas — "Whenever this Vehicle becomes crewed, put a sync counter on it. It gets +1/+1 for each sync counter on it." Counters stay on the Eva when it rests in the cage: a crew-3 Eva piloted four times is a 9/9.
• Shinji is the plan: he crews Vehicles as though his power were 4 greater, puts an additional sync counter on each crewed Eva, and an Eva with four or more sync counters gains trample and indestructible when it attacks and draws you a card.
• 400%: four counters is the deck's only threshold — Unit-01 becomes a creature with no pilot, Gendo looks at the top of your library, the Human Instrumentality Project drains the table. The Second Impact, the deck's only sweeper, destroys all creatures and leaves every uncrewed Eva standing.

Why Jeskai

Blue is NERV — the MAGI, the sync tests, Gendo's scenario. Red is the Eva itself and the pilots' nerve — Unit-01 going berserk, the positron rifle, the N² Mine. White is the A.T. Field, the Lance and the Impacts. Two combos close the game: Shinji with Kozo Fuyutsuki and any Eva crews and untaps for unlimited sync counters, and with Maya Ibuki every crew drains each opponent; The Yashima Capacitor with All Power to the Rifle makes unlimited mana for Operation Yashima. The S² Engine, NERV Identification Card, Umbilical Cable and A10 Nerve Clips ramp; The Dead Sea Scrolls tutors; N² Mine, Ramiel's Particle Beam and The Lance of Longinus remove threats; MAGI Override counters; Ritsuko Akagi and The MAGI Supercomputer draw.
