Deck Description

This is a deck that is intendet to try as much trigger abilities in a row as possible building a combo chain. A combo chain usually consists of a combination of Bloodbraid Elf's Cascade or Rashmi, Eternities Crafter's ability as start trigger and may be extended using any Explore ability to go back to Rashmi, Eternities Crafter's ability trigger.

A combo chain can in game look like one of the following:
Bloodbraid Elf ==> Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jadelight Ranger/Merfolk Branchwalker ==> Jori En, Ruin Diver => Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jadelight Ranger/Merfolk Branchwalker => Jori En, Ruin Diver

Bloodbraid Elf ==> Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jadelight Ranger/Merfolk Branchwalker => Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jadelight Ranger/Merfolk Branchwalker

Bloodbraid Elf ==> Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jadelight Ranger/Merfolk Branchwalker ==> Jori En, Ruin Diver => Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jori En, Ruin Diver

Bloodbraid Elf ==> Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jadelight Ranger/Merfolk Branchwalker => Rashmi, Eternities Crafter

Bloodbraid Elf => Rashmi, Eternities Crafter

Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Jadelight Ranger/Merfolk Branchwalker

(==> goes to Stack, => resolve from Stack)

Any combination of these combo pieces can trigger additional effects where at best case you will cast several spells just for the cost of one and get one or two for free.

Gaea's Blessing is a utility card that triggered via Explore can instant reveal the graveyard back into the deck while otherwise get some important combo cards back into the deck. Unsubstantiate is a chain stopper at any time you dont want certain spell to resolve, it may be removed from the stack using Unsubstantiate or to leight weight counter target spell from an opponent.

Jace as same as Nissa are control pieces to stabilize the combo chain. Jace can top-deck cards from the hand that should be part of the next chain while Nissa's primary usecase is her Scry effect. She may also help to grow out the mana base as booth Bloodbraid Elf and Rashmi are 4 mana drops while Jace can also manipulate the top card or get Bloodbraid Elf back to the hand as additional combo chain starter.

Altered Ego is an additional power start as it can copy for example a Bloodbraid Elf but unless Elf cant be countered, so you will have at least a copy of the elf in play, maybe with additional power
