OBS: Still under development, I have not tried it yert

This is a combo- and control-oriented semi-competitive deck.

Its purpose is to control the game, until you have have a combo ready for finishing off your opponent(s).

Jhoria's ability is instant, this means you can suspend creatures doing your opponents turns, and preferably in the end-step just before it's your turn.

Because of Jhoria's instant ability I've decided to include a lot of instants spells in the deck. This mean that you can either suspend or cast instants spells in your opponents turn.

You should mulligan for fatties as there are only 12 ideal targets, and they are hard to tutor.

As a warning: The deck has everything that is hated in a casual EDH format:

  • Eldrazi
  • Land destruction
  • A lot of counter spells
  • Extra turns
  • Infinite Combo
  • Fatties: Creatures you should suspend.
  • Control: Is what keeps you alive, and makes everybody hate you.
  • BoardWipe: Another type of control, good for handling token decks, and throw of before your suspended creatures come to live.
  • LandWraith: What make everybody REALLY hate you. Make sure only to use these if you know you will win afterwards :)
  • Ramp: Will help you have some speed in your game.
  • Draw: A lot of the draw is instant spells, use that to your advantage, cast the draw spells just before your turn and you will have a larger hand than your opponents expect.
  • CounterManipulation: I have included a few mechanisms to manipulate the suspension counters.
  • Cheat: You will get a lot of hate on your commander, the cheat spells will help you with some alternatives to play your fatties.
  • Protection: Another way to keep you alive.
  • Lands: Some of the noteworthy lands are Magosi, the Waterveil and Riptide Laboratory. Your commander is wizard, so Riptide can help you avoid getting her in the command zone. And the waterveil land provides a "fair" way of taking extra turns, where you have to prepare and skip a turn to actually take an extra turn.
  • Tutor: Because the deck is combo based, it is important with some tutoring to get some consistency.
  • Any suggestions are welcome. Right now there is a considerable risk that you will not have one of the fatties in the first two mulligan attempts. How can i improve this without sacrificing (too much) board control?
