Jodah, Archmage Eternal EDH

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on May 5, 2018, 1:28 a.m. by oxidized5789

So, basically I need some help with my 5 color Jodah,Archmage Eternal deck, like what would be a good start to surviving against some steamroll decks that would win games early and how much ramp would I want.

P.S. this is my first magic deck I recently started playing and my friends all play EDHJodah, Archmage Eternal EDH

For a Jodah deck, you want between 10 and 15 pieces of ramp. Of this, at least 2/3 of it should be 2CMC or less. I would recommend cards like Farseek, Rampant Growth, Birds of Paradise, stuff like that.

How exactly do you wamt your Jodah deck to play out? How are you intending to use Jodahs ability if at all?

Yea i want to be using Jodah's ability as well as utilizing Fist of Suns to drop big guys while being able to defend jodah and staying relatively safe so I don't just get steamrolled without being able to do anything

LeaPlath: what do you mean "if at all"? my guess is he wants to drop an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn turn 5.

you can use enchantment tutors or cards with the "transmute" mechanic to search up Collective Restraint to keep you safe since you're using all 5 colors. with land ramp you can easily get all 5 basic land types in play, especially if you use fetchlands and shocklands which you should be using anyway.

how many and what type of tutors and ramp should I get?

Chromatic Lantern and Prismatic Lens allow for lands to tap for any color mana, which is sweet for Jodah/FotS. Both pricey cards though. Expedition Map and Sylvan Scrying both search for any one land (the important part is it doesn't have to be a basic, which means you can search out Command Tower or Exotic Orchard).

would be helpful if you post your decklist (when you finalize it), so we can give more specific advice.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/first-time-commander-deck-jodah/?cb=1526142788 So this is what I came up with any tweaks or additions or removals will be greatly appreciated.

p.s. ik there are over a 100 cards and also this is my first magic deck in general my friends gave me some suggestions and the rest I looked up.

Maybe some graveyard interaction? Muldrotha, perhaps. Or body double. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if you cast body double etbing as the myojins or zacama, you would still get the untap land trigger/divinity counter. Also, maybe Zendikar Ressurgent? In addition to Mirari's wake, that is. I saw a list using Twilight Prophet and Sorin, Grim Nemesis as like a draw/drain thing. Was cool. I like the Dragon subtheme though.
