Jhoira's game of Solitaire

This Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain deck is supposed to be borderline cedh, it runs a ton of mana rocks and Cheerios so it can end the game in 4-6 turns. I'm looking to try to get the deck to where it can consistently win in 4 turns uninterrupted. I'm pretty close but about 1 in 4 games I end up whiffing on my draws and end up in a very bad position. Just looking for some advice to make the deck less likely to do that

The deck only really needs a good Recall effect, which though you run basically all of them, you don't run tutors for them.

Try out Merchant Scroll and Mystical Tutor, maybe even Gamble!

Words of Wind and any positive or 0 rock is the tech you need :)

SynergyBuild Indeed, I have avoided tutors because it's paying for 2 cards to cast 1 card when jhoira doesn't care for Instants it sorceries. It's hard to justify paying even more mana for them when I'm already drawing a million cards. I will agree though that Paradoxical Outcome is too good not to tutor for lol.

RNR_Gaming now that is some next level tech right there! Combine that with any rock that produces more mana than it costs and you have an infinite combo that also sets your opponents all the way back.

Synergy is right though. Paying an extra 1 or 2 is worth it if it just makes you win the game

SynergyBuild I added the suggested tutors, minus gamble, because it's red lol.

RNR_Gaming added words of wind, it's really good

GhostChieftain lol, I know, even if I despise tutors they do enable me to win

SynergyBuild I thought you were referencing an effect rather than the actual card, like the acct of recalling your board of artifacts so you can dump them all again. I like the effect but it's a pain to have to cast the cost reducers again, that's why Paradoxical Outcome is my favorite of them, you can return all the other artifacts to your hand, draw that many cards, redeploy to draw that many cards again, and pray to god that I draw into a combo

Oh, I agree that's the best!

I ran a whole vintage list on it for a year ;)
