The idea for a Jodah, Archmage Eternal commander deck had been brewing in my mind for the past year or so. However, not being the greatest at deck building, I had hesitated in building it for awhile. I recently opened a bunch of random packs, one of which contained a Door to Nothingness. Feeling inspired, I slapped together a Jodah decklist and refined it as I saw fit. Jodah's Door with more than a fair taste of Stax. There are a couple win conditions in this deck, the most obvious being Door to Nothingness. After using Door to Nothingness, it can be put back on top of your library with Academy Ruins. Amulet of Vigor is also in the deck to make sure you can use Door immediately, should you have the mana. The other win condition is playing Omniscience, Enter the Infinite, and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, letting you draw your library and play your entire library without paying mana costs, including a Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, rendering you the winner when you can no longer draw a card. For extra security, there are a few extra turn spells to make sure you don't get screwed over by your opponents before you can win. Speaking of your opponents, they can very easily be locked out of the game with Static Orb, Winter Orb, Stasis, and the various other taxing cards in the deck. In order to get around the effects of Stasis and the Orbs, there is a Seedborn Muse as well as a Wilderness Reclamation, allowing you to untap when your opponents cannot. There is also an Avacyn, Angel of Hope in the deck in order to protect your board state as well as mana multipliers and fixers in order to ensure you have enough mana to activate Door to Nothingness and Jodah's ability. And of course, once you have Omniscience on the battlefield, what's stopping you from playing an Armageddon? Everyone will hate you.

Alright, now that I've explained how the deck works, let me say that this is by no means a good deck. For either of these win conditions to work or for any of the Stax pieces to be effective and to your advantage, everything needs to be aligned perfectly. There is a fair chance you'll be hated out before you can get anything done. Despite all this, I still think it's a fun concept. Cheers!
