Jodah is one the the most commander commanders. He’s like 200% Commander.

[@fenixmeaney6170]

He's SO commander, I've put all the 7 drop commanders I couldn't find a deck for in the deck!

[@noahhoffenberg6971]

A pro tip for the Jodah players Look at the bringer cycle. There are all super cheap and one gives you a vamperic tutur on each of your turns

[@xgxwills2857]

[@Turn2Ugin]

Correct :)

Jodah was my first commander deck that I built and was the reason I got interested in commander. A couple years later and he's still my boy. Nothing but love for this guy haha

[@WayfarersBauble]

I saw I wasn't in the decklist and I got super worried. Thankfully, I qualify as a "reasonable upgrade", and as such I'm in both the upgraded deck and the reasonable upgrades only. Anyway, as of this posting, my lowest TCGPlayer market price is $3.05 for my Fifth Dawn printing. I don't know when I'll be reprinted again, but I make a great gift for decks of all ages!

[@TomozAlpha]

We miss you

[@AspelShuyin]

Ah, I get it. Because it's an "as it enters", it doesn't go on the stack and wait for Hypergenesis to resolve.

I’ve been playing Jodah for a few years now. Mitch I like the creativity. You should try putting Sunbird’s Invocation in here. And if you have the budget some extra turns cards as well. 😎

Jodah is my favorite deck, it is very much not budget but still my favorite.

@@paultronesofa6349 still in progress but here's what I got so far tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jodahs-dragonstorm-2/?cb=1608745411 I am revamping a previous dragonstorm deck headed by Nicol Bolas (thank you, Jumbo Commander) So far I pulled it off once and only because I convinced my table that I'd get rid of the main threat if they let me live (I had one life). Needless to say I kept my word and won the match XD.

[@Gaming_Duck]

Merry Christmas to all you wonderful people.

[@iudexumbra609]

You as well

[@jonathanmooney8538]

Jodah is probably my favorite deck I've built and it started off budget and turned into a pet deck that got constant upgrades to mana and color fixing. Now it's got a "core" and about 15 cards I change back and forth to switch how it plays. The original is a combo deck and the next is a creature heavy smash face. You're able to do anything with him and if you're able to devote the funding to mana/fixing he can even hover close to CEDH

[@Turn2Ugin]

Yessir

[@flawedsapphire2347]

I really wanna build a Jodah library. I've been inspired since seeing the first Jodah episodes ^^ Lovely videos, Mitch and community! This is possible bc it's a team effort! Love and strength to all! 💙🐉🪐 It is-a SPICY combo! (Edit P.S.: Deleted a misunderstanding I had in the combo. all good!)

[@mmlgamer]

Sphinx doesn’t trigger. It’s an “as”, not a “when”.

[@flawedsapphire2347]

@@mmlgamer Aaahh, you're right! The Sphinx and Clones can go infinite bc of that, and then the Impact Tremors triggers each time and are stacked at the end after HG resolves, making the combo work. Thanks for pointing that out! I understand how it works now ^^ 💙🐉🪐

[@spagettysylph2033]

wow literally just yesterday i sat down and put together a jodah deck! it was in haze of chaos and pain, i put it together in less than an hour and it's the only combo deck i've ever made and i felt disgusting xD

[@MintyMagicMTG]

This deck is basically, “You know all those bulk 7-9 cmc spells you have? I’ve found a use for them...”

[@bloodyblades7224]

Omniscience, enter the infinite, blightsteel collosus, emergent ultimatum, time stretch, expropriate the list goes on for so many power plays for jodah, five cost game ending cards and a show and tell wouldn't go amiss dropping them unexpectedly early. Recently built this guy, slow but explosive!

[@ditto_inc4138]

A really good card in any Jodah deck is Jegantha, the wellspring. With those two on board you can just tap Jegantha to cast anything.

[@sphiedd]

My thrid commander deck that i have ever built. The new cascade mechanics that came.gave it a great bopst

[@Zendrig]

I love my Jodah deck, because whenever another crazy 10 Mana spell of any color is printed, I can just throw it in there.

[@madhattom891]

Jodah is favourite of mine. I find he lets me relive the old days when edh decks were so often a pile of 7+ mana craziness we found in the lgs discount bin. Mana curve? What's that? Just keep chucking ultimatums until the other guy falls over! Now of course there's a little more to it than that, and my own personal deck runs some pretty recognizable format staples, but there's something very refreshing about a commander who's plan A generally involves casting stuff with absurd mana costs. Repeatedly.

[@HiroZeroVirus]

effects like sunburst when the cmcs are less than 5 are pretty fun with this concept. Pentad Prism SHOULD etb with max 2 counters, netting you 2 mana but with Jodah, it would enter with 5 and allow you to crack off another casting. i know there are other cards that care about colors of mana used to cast it, but sunburst is the only keyword what comes to mind at the moment.

[@vladluka1865]

I really love this channel.... I'll wait for a Drana Last Bloodchief deck complete

[@IzzysIssues]

Jodah is my 5-Color superfriends commander and this tech gave me a few ideas for new shenanigans to add

[@Closer2Zero]

I don’t know what it’d cost but I’d love to see a deck around Jengatha the elk companion, as commander or companion for elemental tribal. Horde of Notions + Jengatha is super cool in concept

[@yubeeeep]

Love jodah i literally tore apart atraxa to build this deck. So easily scalable

[@philsimmer]

[@MarcusFar]

Love this kind of deck

[@maxdeckman]

Love it Mitch! Keep up the good work!

[@Blacandrin]

One of actually mine paper decks is Jodah deck, having over 6 wincon combos from which one is infinite turn. (which is a 2 cards combo. Actually 3, but to have really long turn you'd just need 2 of those cards and the third one will eventually show up during these turns)

[@Turn2Ugin]

And they are?

[@Blacandrin]

@@Turn2Ugin Those two cards? Well, one of them is bringer of the black dawn, so you can tutor for mext card. That next card is really any extra turn card that is after resolving shuffled to the library. (beacon of tomorrows in my case) As for life gain to make it infinite. Good is twilight prophet (tutor for beacon the resolve the prophet, therefore gaining 8 life while dealing 8 and drawing extra card each extra turn), or also Zacama.

[@joranmoore5663]

I do a similar combo that you highlighted with evil twin, but it's with Slivers, Jodah and Morophon.

[@warpgamer9055]

Jodah, morophon and arcane adaptation let's you cast any creature for free

[@alanthepyro]

I have that with eldrazi tribal-mix, the combo also lets you cast tribal spells for free

[@LouisKing995]

Isn’t Jonah and alternative casting cost? Doesn’t Morophon just reduce the CMC?

[@TyTyTheShyGuy]

Ooo another take on a Jodah deck

[@ArkCiD_Z3r0]

Neat, I just bought a Jodah for pretty cheap a few days ago.

[@Bsmall666]

I think ancestral statue would work in place of rescuer sphinx

[@tienkieu4806]

After testing this deck, I would say you can consistently win on turn 6-7 as long as you have tutor on hand.

[@celestial59]

Ayy Mitch uploaded 😁

[@stephanevally170]

Jegantha, Crystal Quarry, Ramos (less budget) and Channel the suns could be in the deck too

[@cwinship]

Slightly inaccurate: Overflowing Insight lets you draw seven cards, not five :P 3:55

[@brianbrookman4841]

Composite Golem and Nim's deathmantle means free casts with jodah, right?

[@teideim5669]

This combo doesn't work surely? The spell is resolving, you can't interrupt the spells resolution with abilities, even if they should trigger, no? Edit: Gatherer ruling; 15/10/2006: Anything that triggers during the resolution of this will wait to be put on the stack until everything is put onto the battlefield and resolution is complete. The ruling does carry on but this is fairly self explanatory to me, Hypergenesis is still resolving as the clone goes to ETB, meaning it's trigger goes onto the stack while Hypergenesis is still resolving. You can't interrupt resolution with other abilities, meaning this combo can't work. Double edit: how could the clone trigger the Sphinxs as Enters ability when it's own as Enters ability needs to resolve first?

[@Shpee1]

the rescuer sphinx and the clones abilities arent actually triggered abilities, they dont use the stack at all so the abilties occur during the hypergenesis resolution

[@tuckerfyffe4999]

I’ve built this deck and absolutely love it. One question though that came up in a game a had with it recently: I played Hypergenesis, put out my impact tremors, then played Clone, Rescuer Sphinx, then clone again. My opponent caught on, then put out a creature with “When this creature enters the battlefield, destroy target creature,” targeting my Clone. I realize that its ability enters the stack while Hypergenesis is technically still resolving, so when does that creature destroy my creature? Would it trigger after Hypergenesis resolves, when that creature is put onto the field, or the next time it becomes their turn to put a permanent onto the field?

[@moridin812]

Love it.

[@brandonteppelin6353]

Jodah is the shit. Other than the new Jared Carthalion, and maybe whichever God is representing Thor coming out in Kaldheim, Jodah has always been a Commander I've brewed and tried to tweak and perfect. My version is based on the Ultimatums, basically, with some support to make them able to cast at instant speed, copy them, etc.

[@damienbotts7981]

Overflowing insight says draw seven, just a heads up not trying to be aggressive about it.

[@weishin]

No WOTC changed it, to draw the other 2 cards you need to buy the new secret lair xD

[@Shadfillet]

That's a pretty cool combo!

[@cg5380]

Remember when he did this deck before. I commented this before I saw that he said it was a retrain

[@dam49365]

Reshape the earth seems twice as good as the first ultimatum

[@smameann]

The white card you get with Conflux could be Silence to make sure no one can interrupt your fun.

[@smameann]

Or Grand Abolisher might be better because silence can only target one player.

[@mmlgamer]

@@smameann Actually, Silence does work on all opponents. Alternatively, if you’re not worried about counter magic, you could get Overwhelming Splendor to deal with static effects on creatures.

[@BearHeart.]

Can you build a JODAH tribal dragon deck??

[@PawzBrownMTG]

Great video Mitch

[@pokeliciousnchill2932]

Cool combo!

[@leonardobasualdo9253]

You can do the same with ancestral statue, because ancestral bounces himself

[@mmlgamer]

Actually you can’t. Ancestral Statue is a triggered ability while Rescuer Sphinx is a replacement effect (the only one of its kind afaik).

[@troycrockett8886]

hi Mitch could you put in the ozolith in the deck with the combo

[@Vyviel]

[@nikos731]

[@CommonConnoisseurs]

LAST???

[@tyguy77777]

Because I am an Animar player, I know of this card too lol. Could Ancestral Statue work with this combo without the need for a clone? Target itself with its own bouncing trigger, return it to your hand, infinite etbs that way (Though thinking of it now, it's a colorless card so you can't get it with Conflux)

[@tylergoerlich9494]

Because of the trigger, it won’t work. The effects need to happen as the creature enters, because otherwise hypergenesis can’t be interrupted for the triggers if you want hypergenesis to keep going

[@mdchiesi]

Hey I have a question about the core combo you mentioned here. According to Gatherer, good news, you basically get to put creatures into play infinitely as long as you want. Other players don't have to put them in for you to keep putting them in, it waits for all players to stop putting in permanents. all the etb's from Impact Tremors would NOT resolve until after Hypergenesis has resolved, though. gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/details.aspx?name=Hypergenesis So you put your triggers on the stack, but then once you're "done" any other etb's from your opponents would then go on the stack. The combo assumes they don't remove one of your key components during the process. I think any removal would stop the damage from building (either removing impact tremors, or one of the creatures). Am I understanding it right? So you might need to reclaim the phoenix somehow if someone disrupted things. I guess that's why you have the graveyard to hand spells and return exiled card to hand spells. Anyhow, defo looking to build Jodah soon (proxy) as my Dune deck : ) Might be able to work this in since I could maybe count the phoenix in as a Guild Navigator/genetic manipulation and the dune series definitely has a lot of clones with the Tleilaxu

[@mmlgamer]

By the time Hypergenesis is done resolving, you should have a billion Impact Tremors triggers on the stack and you won’t need anything else.

[@mdchiesi]

@@mmlgamer definitely. I was just thinking it backwards so i could know what could interrupt it ... I think only removing the sphinx at first would prevent the combo from going off : )

[@mmlgamer]

@@mdchiesi You would need static effects like Humility, Torpor Orb, or Treachery to stop it.

[@mdchiesi]

@@mmlgamer I see, so it's like holding priority during hypergenesis cast?

This is still like a 5-card combo. Jodah, Hypergenesis, Rescuer Sphinx, Clone effect, and Impact Tremors. It just doesn't seem like it would ever happen.

[@dorsalfin22]

That's literally why he said there were a bunch of tutors in the deck. Demonic tutor or any kind of tutor goes to find the Hypergenesis which then goes and tutors for the rest of the combo. So pull any 1 of your regular black tutors and that's game. So it's not really a 5 card combo

[@mmlgamer]

That’s what Conflux and the other tutors are for. Also, once you gather the pieces, you only need to cast one combo piece (Hypergenesis) while the rest sit in your hand.

[@obfn9456]

@@dorsalfin22 I don't care how many tutors there are. This combo is bad. All they have to do is deal with one of them and your deck's broken. The tutors are also soo expensive. Seems like this deck will lose before any of this magical Christmas land stuff happens

@@obfn9456 It’s not Christmas land. All you need to do is cast Hypergenesis, and typical removal can’t interact with the other pieces while it resolves. Perhaps you’re crapping on it because it isn’t cedh compatible, but if one tutor can find all the pieces, it’s not unreasonable.
