Evolutionary Leap in Codie

Commander (EDH) forum

Theory crafting with Codie, do you think it is worth having evolutionary leap in a codie deck where the only other creature will be a thassa's oracle? It would effectively act as a tutor that also deals with removing codie from your board. Or would it be better to remove evolutionary leap in favor of simian spirit guide and other mana dorks

No. That's just playing Codie with extra steps. It would just make things clunky in an already very streamlined deck.

Since this is a Codie thread, would it be okay if I asked what makes him Tier 0? I've read he is among one of the most powerful Commanders.

Why is that?

He is outside my scope of play, so I likely am not seeing something fairly obvious here with him.

TypicalTimmy - he's essentially a one card combo thats extremely consistent due to his low cmc and being colorless.

1) Cast Codie, Vociferous Codex

2) Activate Codie, Vociferous Codex

3) Cast a 1cmc spell

4) Cast Profane Tutor

5) Cast Ad Nauseam

From there you should be able to win. Additionally, codie has a lot more interaction and is just so smooth. Definitely a KOS commander.
