Avatar: a Jank deck is basically where you get a big creature out fast and protect it with counters+mass kills to opponent's creatures, while giving them some serious beatdown.
Ihsan: i think the Jank would work better than the Necro personally because the Jank is faster and has more control over the opponent
I will suspect that you will be using Serra's for your beatdown? if not then you can adjust what i put here but this is basically how i'd see a U/W/R Jank
12 Blue:
4 Man Of War
4 Counterspell
2 Dissipate
2 Arcane Denial
11 Red:
4 Bolts
3 Earthquake
4 Incinerate
10 White:
4 Serra
2 Disenchant
2 White Knight
2 Zhalfrin Crusader
2 Gold:
2 Flippy Efreet
5 Art:
2 Jugg's
2 Lotus Petals
1 Sol Ring
20 Land
2 Gemstone Mine
2 Reflecting Pool
4 Volcanic Island
4 Tundra
4 Plateau
2 Undiscovered Paradise
2 City of Brass
Sideboard
3 Hydroblast
3 Pyroblast
3 Sacred Ground
2 AEther Flash
2 Disenchant
2 Propa
Ihsan: if you have any jewelry or the flower, add it instead of the petals & ring (obviously)
but i am making this assuming you don't...
I wouldn't know what else to add to this, let me know what you had planned on using and post it for crit...
a variation of this deck won me 2nd place at a local tourney, it was without some of the dual lands, i used pain lands in their wake
