I’ve played games when Jodah has been removed immediately up to four or five times in a row - it’s not fun to have such a gigantic target on your head - I found that the best way around it is to forgo politics and immediately nuke whoever can be removed immediately, it isn’t a 3v1 if there’s only 2 left

[@deckideas]

Hahaha, true! In my meta, swinging out often leaves me vulnerable to being one-shot by someone else. I've changed my Jodah list substantially since publishing this actually, and now usually wait to cast Jodah until another opponent has become scary. I find that the *second* player to amass a terrifying board often winds up winning the pod.

I have Jodah as my secret Commander in my Kenrith “Stuff of Legends “ deck

[@UnusualHat7]

First of all, youre always a target with jodah, but ive been running a doctor who jodah deck, and sometimes i wont even get out jodah, my opponents will expect it, but they have so many effects of attacking directly (k-9, Martha Jones, Sonic Screwdriver just for a few) that ill bait my opponent to use their boardwipes then get out jodah, but even if, i have so many cascade, myriad, and copy effects (that i can copy jodah with to and change his name and type but still legendary) it doesnt matter, my end game is jodah, not my start

[@noochnaggy3430]

Would you consider posting your current deck list for this? I'd love to try it out for myself

[@DanTheMagic8Ball]

Filter by legendary and you have 95% of decks you face in MTGA brawl. 5c smooth brain strat.

[@heresyseed]

Never been a better time to tweak this deck… otj just completely upgraded every build option for this deck!

[@Bonta891]

This is one of the best deck ideas/demonstrations that I have ever seen! I would love to see an update of it or your current decklist, if you don't mind

[@zatchimo5177]

Bum a sygg . . . 😂

[@nickkelley5497]

I run gods and boardwipes with jodah so when he flips my legendary it’s almost always indestructible. A lot of effects that are useful aswell like Pharika exile, nylea trample, purph haste , Athreos has come in clutch aswell.

[@matthieupouille4792]

The only problem with Jodah is that it gets boring at some point :'( It is so consistant that every game tends to look the same. I've met a lot of Jodah players, and I am one myself, we all agree with this haha. But it is still an excellent EDH that I bring from time to time to the table! Your brew is also really interesting with the tokens, loving it !

[@emmanuelgreen9700]

Did you consider Kamahl he is outside of your mana curve but repeatable overrun goes a long way

[@deckideas]

Ooh, that's especially good considering that the "Overrun effect" can happen the same turn Kamahl hits the board.

[@ericr4677]

If you really want to piss ppl off. Throw in masako the humorless … I’m probably butchering it but to swing out … only to give out the false impression that your venerable … while being able to block with all your tapped super pumped legends is hilarious.

[@tonyontilt3522]

Toxic deluge & Ruinous ultimatum have over performed in my jodah deck. Deluge often leaves are creatures alive

[@alexschreiber6195]

Zopandrel I’ve found is probably the best card in the deck. Also, people need to include Selvala now that she’s been reprinted. Her mana ability is based on the power of your creatures so last game I tapped her for like 15 mana on turn 5-6 and just won. Ghalta is a workhorse because it’s a cascade for 12 but you’re often casting it for 2. Last March of the Ents is my win now piece and it’s awesome because it can’t be countered. I run Myrel to prevent people from interacting with my board on my “explosive” turn. And honestly, I’ve taken the deck down to less single target removal. I run 3 board wipes in Invasion of Fiora (destroys all non legends), Urza’s ruinous and cyclonic rift. I’m even considering removing swords to plowshares for another board flip piece in Winds of Abandon. Mostly what I want to do have the board presence and mass get rid of everyone else. Besides that I have tons of counterspell and protection spells instead of removal

Luxior Giada's Gift might have fallen under the radar completely. I really enjoyed listening to your research and reasoning for your deckbuilding decisions. really good first video :) Maybe it would be worth creating one or two shorts that summarises some of the ideas you shared, to help gain some more traction for your lovely channel. :) I'll stick around to see where your journey takes you.

[@deckideas]

Hey, thanks for the kind comment. I'm currently exporting my second "DECK IDEAS" and hope you'll check it out! Once my editing software is done with the export I'll spend some time converting snippets into KZbin Shorts -- that's a great idea.

[@nerdsunite1337]

@@deckideas happy to check it out. I'm actually currently putting together a list for commanders that would benefit from using Luxior. Hopefully it'll be ready by tomorrow or perhaps Monday. I'd love to get your opinion on my findings 😊

[@deckideas]

@@nerdsunite1337 Absolutely! I've never done a deep-deep-dive into Luxior shenanigans and would love to see what you brew up.

[@znm-ii2vk]

I built it outta cascade with yidris and maelstrom wanderer so legendary cascade (if yidris hits) then after the legendary maelstrom after yidris attacks yada yada it will legendary cascade then regular cascade for regular for 3, also added mondrak and elesh norn mother of machines because I have a lot of legendary dragons that etb damage. Massive and works well. Just a idea

[@jordanchinmusic]

Incredible overview, thank you. Your videos deserve more views!

[@Insaiyangod21]

I made a jodha deck around transformers and called it jodhabots 😂

[@SnakPak]

Furpst

[@RedSpade37]

Thanks for the laugh! Why is there not more "Saying First but in a funny way" on KZbin these days?

[@lechampion2349]

No deck list ?
