How Can I Get Jegantha in My Five-Colored Deck?

Commander (EDH) forum

I would like to put Jegantha, the Wellspring in my five-colored EDH deck, because of its great synergy with Jodah, Archmage Eternal, but I am not certain which card I should remove to make room for it, so I wish to ask for advice on what I should do on that matter.

The most logical card to remove is Inferno Titan, since that creature's ability is not nearly as good in EDH as it would be in a normal format, so what does everyone else say about that? Which card should Jegantha replace?

I think you just answered your own question.

griffstick, that is very good, since that was the card that I was planning to remove, anyway, but I am glad to have received feedback from another user about it.

Is there any particular reason you aren't using it as your companion? Other than the looming possibility of the mechanic changing as a whole on Monday. Or is that it?

kanokarob, I am not using it as companion because I am not willing to obey its restriction on the structure of my deck.

Then imo he isn't really worth making space for. Bloom Tender is better and even that isn't a requirement in Jodah decks. He's a 5-drop to supply you with the colors for Jodah's alternative cost, but he has no real benefit outside of that. And assuming you already have infrastructure in place to produce all 5 colors normally, Jegantha really isn't worth it for you unless it's a companion, so I wouldn't worry about it.

kanokarob, I do, actually, have Faeburrow Elder in that deck, which provides essentially the same benefit as Jegantha for a much lower mana cost, so, perhaps, I do not need both of them.

I actually have already ordered a copy of Jegantha, so I shall put it in my binder when it arrives, and reinstate Inferno Titan in that deck.
