Recently went through and updated the decklist as I have been in the process at the time of writing of getting more staple and pricey cards. That means as one card goes in a separate deck I can pull from several decks to make another. Currently my Jhoira of the Ghitu deck runs a lot of extra turn cards, and guess who else likes those, Narset!

By using cards that grant an extra turn like Time Warp , Time Stretch , and Temporal Trespass those huge casting costs come down to just a simple attack, by casting them for free! But Narset herself is very fragile at only a 3/2, even with first strike. So I use cards that give her indestructible or unblockable like Spectra Ward , Steel of the Godhead , and Indestructibility , or Maze of Ith and Reconnaissance to just remove her from combat.

Now that i'm casting all these extra turn and protection spells, what else should I do? Copy Them or abuse the cast trigger. Waves of Aggression , Seize the Day , and Aggravated Assault grant me extra combat phases, which just gives me more cards to cast from exile. Ghostly Prison , Propaganda , and Sphere of Safety give me extra padding to prevent getting attacked. Metallurgic Summonings , Swarm Intelligence , and Mirari either copy spells on cast or give me a few tokens with high power and toughness.

And finally, just because I can (I really like Ajani Vengeant ) I have a light Superfriends theme. Using cards like Ugin, the Spirit Dragon , Elspeth, Sun's Champion , and Ajani Vengeant allow me to really protect or stall out others boards. with things like Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , not only helping stall big threats, but with lots of mana and her emblem lets me take infinite turns over and over again.

Overall she really is fun and while she will most likely not due too well in my meta due to an abundance of creatures, she has been really fun to mess around with and I really enjoy the deck and to me that's all I really want to do in commander. Tips, suggestions, and comments appreciated.
