Wow this deck has some unexpected horsepower. What do you think of Emiel the Blessed? It makes infinite colorless with Workhorse.

Riding the Dilu Horse could be another thematic way to present lethal with Jegantha.

Some others you might like: Sundering Growth, Thundermare, Verity Circle, Tithe, Phantom Steed, Corpse Knight, Lu Xun, Scholar General, Capture of Jingzhou

Wouldn't cards like Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, Corpse Knight, and Marauding Blight-Priest also be helpful?

I like the way you composed this to have your combo pieces be actually useful on their own, nicely done. Since you're leaning into the recursion/death thing a lot, have you considered Blood Artist or Corpse Knight? Might be helpful to have in case you need to stop drawing.

Removed Corpse Knight and added Cruel Celebrant.

Thank you for the suggestion knightofzero21. It's kind of funny that I forgot about Corpse Knight, since I used to run it in my Alesha, Who Smiles at Death deck as a combo piece.

I do like Corpse Knight and don't mind the 2 color intensity. In my experience a 2 color 2 drop is about the same level of on-curve play as a 1 color 3 drop. Having played this deck numerous times already, I don't think I've ever felt mana screwed by color balance/fixing.

My current issue is figuring out what slots I want to change up. I haven't played with my friends in about a month. As much as I want to change 1-3 slots to test stuff out, I also kind of want to wait knowing that Commander Legends 2 is somehow already around the corner.

I saw Witty Roastmaster is up for consideration. Would you try out Corpse Knight at all? I recognize it's more color intensive but it is a 2 drop. Also causes loss of life instead of damage
