Elsha of the Infinite
Legendary Creature — Djinn Monk
Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
You may look at the top card of your library at any time.
You may cast the top card of your library if it’s a noncreature, nonland card, and you may cast it as though it had flash.

Elsha, Threefold Master

Hi, capwner, thanks for the deck upvote! That is very true. She is in the 99, so it would be a powerful way to win. I think I have underestimated this card just because Elsha of the Infinite
is not my commander. But she is in the 99. And even without her, we still: Trigger prowess at least once a turn, makes running 22 lands feel a little safer, and it gives our colorless mana some value in a deck with so very little colorless mana symbols...
With Elsha of the Infinite + Sensei's Divining Top + Helm of Awakening we can draw our entire deck! Which is worth mentioning! Makes me consider whether an Aetherflux Reservoir is worth it.... Regardless, I think Sensei's has found a possibly permanent spot in the decklist.

Hi, capwner, thanks for the deck upvote! That is very true. She is in the 99, so it would be a powerful way to win. Just to be clear, this is not a Elsha of the Infinite deck, the commander is the newly spoiled but not yet released Elsha, Threefold Master.
So, I'm uncertain if you were recommending the card as an include for Elsha of the Infinite or not. I do think I have underestimated the card, however. It does get this deck out of some tight pinches, triggers prowess, and makes me a bit more comfortable with those 22 lands!
And you're quite right. It is very potent. Alongside Elsha of the Infinite
+
Helm of Awakening
, we can draw our entire deck! I'll have to find a slot for this one.

TheoryCrafter, I actually have an EDH deck with Elsha of the Infinite as its general, and that deck is quite different from my Numot, the Devastator deck, and, at this moment, I feel that Grand Arbiter Augustin IV is perfectly fine, in that deck, so I shall keep him in it, for the present time.
As for Shared Summons, several other players to whom I spoke felt that it is superior to Primal Command, especially since the decks in which I wish to put it have a strong emphasis on creatures, and I rarely ever use the other modes.

You posted this roughly at the same time most Friday Night Magic events are finishing up. On a weekend where American Gridiron football at every level is determining playoffs one way or another, Moana 2 is in its second week out in theaters and during the Christmas season. If you intend to post again on your own thread to call attention to it, the least you can do is wait another day or two and give everyone another chance to get to it before you go making changes to the deck(s) anyway.
In your Numot deck, while the majority of your cards will only cost one mana less, only 7 of them will fully benefit from Grand Arbiter Augustin IV's 1st two static abilities. So it comes down to whether one mana off and one more for your opponents is worth a four mana card. If it doesn't, then you have the excuse you need to slide in Elsha of the Infinite. Though personally, I'd consider just rebuilding the whole deck with Elsha as my Commander.
As for the choice between Primal Command and Shared Summons, without knowing which decks you are considering, put Primal Command in decks in need of graveyard interaction and/or control and put Shared Summons in decks where you need specific creature cards to carry out a combo.

I have four planeswalkers in my Elsha of the Infinite EDH deck, three of whom are in the deck specifically for their emblems, so I believe that Staff of Compleation would help with those planeswalkers accumulating sufficient loyalty to generate their emblems; what does everyone else say about that?

Are You Shoryuken? (Street Fighter Prowess)

I have a Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest tiny leaders deck but I've always felt like it could be way more explosive. I was torn between Narset, Enlightened Exile and Elsha of the Infinite for the general. I really like this deck but I was wondering if you've had any experience piloting Elsha?

A WOMAN'S INTUITION (NARSET)
1 year ago
Hey man, thanks for checking out my list!
So this particular iteration is definitely pretty light on rituals as you can see, instead opting for an abundance of low-cost mana rocks along with a few ways to quickly get Dockside Extortionist into your hand - namely Gamble, Imperial Recruiter & Recruiter of the Guard. The curve of the deck is fairly low, and you shouldn't run into too many problems if you play your cards right (lol), but I can definitely see how the lack of rituals could be seen as problematic if we're talking about going fast af. The main reason that I chose to opt for rocks over rituals is the fact that Narset's ability is centered around the combat phase, and it's just more difficult to squeeze value out of rituals in that context than mana rocks, especially since the rocks can also be cast from the graveyard. I do think that something like Storm-Kiln Artist deserves consideration here, though. I've actually been trying to find space for that guy for a few weeks if you have any suggestions on what to cut. If I'm going to slot him in, though, I'd almost rather slot in Birgi, God of Storytelling Flip so that I can combo with Sensei's Divining Top & Elsha of the Infinite for more sweet, sweet resilience.
Getting to the decks wincons, It's admittedly relying on Intuition to an extreme degree to set up a win by Tutoring up Underworld Breach, Sevinne's Reclamation & Brain Freeze. This strategy relies on the pilot having Lion's Eye Diamond on the board prior, but considering Narset can snatch other people's Tutors from their Graveyards and cast them for free as well as your own, this is actually quite a bit more feasible than it seems at a glance. Remembering that everyone's Graveyards are pretty much yours for the taking is super important here.
Mana Geyser is a timeless banger, but I struggle to find justification for it beyond 2-color builds. There's just not enough room for it compared to other essentials in most 3-color lists within that I've built, unless I'm able to either cast it at instant speed or for a heavily reduced cost, preferably both. My standards for rituals in general may have been ruined by Dark Ritual & Culling the Weak, though...Once you go , ya know...
All of my lists undergo constant editions, though, and I'm sure this one will be no different. I can actually feel the next version brewing in my mind right now lol, thanks for your feedback!

Yeah man, dialing in the landbase is so crucial for consistency, it can't be overstated. Personally, I try to keep the curve on my decks below 2.00 if I can manage it, which allows me to cut down to 30 lands and retain speed along with ~10 mana rocks and perhaps a few rituals depending on the build. Your build's got plenty of rocks, don't be afraid to cut down a bit as you switch things up.

Here's all the applicable lands within the color combo. Even upon refinement, I'd imagine that your deck will include a few that come in tapped under specific conditions like Spirebluff Canal & Training Center, but that's fine. Just be discerning as to how often they'll realistically come on untapped (quite often).
I'd obviously also recommend the 5-color lands like Mana Confluence & City of Brass if you can afford them or are willing to proxy them. Cheaper options like Command Tower, Spire of Industry & Gemstone Mine, Forbidden Orchard & Exotic Orchard aren't to be forgotten either.
The only colorless lands I'd consider on a budget are Crystal Vein & Emergence Zone. If budget/proxy constraints aren't an issue, I'd also consider Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors & Boseiju, Who Shelters All.
Also give Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor & Gamble a shot for sure. They just got reprinted, they're super cheap right now! Speaking of sick reprints, Sapphire Medallion, Ruby Medallion, Pearl Medallion & Smothering Tithe have all seen big price drops lately. Gotta strike while the iron is hot, ya know...
Lastly, I'd recommend testing out fellow all-stars Elsha of the Infinite since you're running Sensei's Divining Top so heavily & Kykar, Wind's Fury, which can be utilized as both a wincon & and absurd value engine here with what you've already got going on.
